Building the Future of Autonomous Flight (with SkyGrid)

Against the record

Wisk Generation 6, from Wisk Aero, is at stage 1 of 5 on our ladder: demo only. Shown in videos or staged events; no units with customers. The latest milestone on its record is from 10 Aug 2026: Boeing agreed to hand Wisk, together with drone maker Insitu and SkyGrid, to Archer Aviation in exchange for a stake of nearly 20% in Archer. Boeing keeps access to Wisk's self-flying technology.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

We’re building the autonomous aircraft, and SkyGrid is building the digital traffic management system to integrate it—together, we’re laying the foundational framework required to modernize global airspace for autonomous flight. 🛫 Wisk: Developing the world's first self-flying, all-electric, four-seat passenger eVTOL designed to meet commercial certification standards. 🌐 SkyGrid: Providing the traffic management platform that integrates aeronautical and environmental data, offering operators a comprehensive view of the airspace. Safe autonomous flight takes a smart aircraft and a smart airspace. We're delivering both.
