Wisk Aero
Boeing’s autonomy-only programme. The Generation 6 aircraft made its first hover in December 2025 with a second prototype following in March 2026.
About Wisk Aero
Wisk Aero is wholly owned by Boeing and is the only major programme pursuing autonomous passenger flight from the outset, with no pilot seat at all. A four-passenger cabin is supervised remotely by a multi-vehicle supervisor on the ground. The bet is that removing the pilot removes both the cost and the pilot-supply constraint that will limit rivals, at the price of a much harder certification path.
The Generation 6 aircraft achieved first hover on 16 December 2025 and a second prototype rolled out in March 2026. Boeing has committed USD 1 billion to the programme.
Because autonomous passenger certification has no precedent, Wisk sits early in the FAA process with no fixed timeline and a commercial target around 2030. It is the longest-dated major programme, and also the one with the largest payoff if it works.
