Wisk releases new white paper which outlines safe and conscious approach to launching advanced air mobility services

Wisk has released a new white paper which focus­es on infra­struc­ture for advanced air mobil­i­ty and the crit­i­cal role small to mid-size air­ports will play in the launch and long-term suc­cess of the indus­try.

With more than 5,000 pub­lic-use air­ports in the USA — which are locat­ed on aver­age 20 min­utes by car from any­where in the coun­try — exist­ing infra­struc­ture will not only be crit­i­cal to the ini­tial launch of advanced air mobil­i­ty ser­vices, but will pro­vide a safe, eco­nom­i­cal, and envi­ron­men­tal­ly con­scious long-term solu­tion com­pared to new con­struc­tion.

Gary Gysin, CEO of Wisk, said: “We are enter­ing the era of ‘every­day flight’, which promis­es safer, qui­eter, more afford­able, and more effi­cient air trav­el. Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty and the eVTOL air­craft at its core are cre­at­ing a sig­nif­i­cant oppor­tu­ni­ty for the thou­sands of small- to mid-size air­ports around the coun­try.

“In order to deliv­er on the promise of this next era in avi­a­tion, it is crit­i­cal that both air­ports and the AAM indus­try part­ner today to address key con­sid­er­a­tions for the inte­gra­tion of AAM ser­vices.”

Wisk’s new white paper out­lines the advan­tages to lever­ag­ing exist­ing air­ports over new ver­ti­port con­struc­tion, the oppor­tu­ni­ties and ben­e­fits for exist­ing air­ports, and key con­sid­er­a­tions for air­ports when inte­grat­ing AAM — includ­ing a ‘Con­sid­er­a­tions Check­list’.
