Unlocking Australia’s Advanced Air Mobility Future: Discover how Wisk is pioneering autonomous flight in Australia, enhancing connectivity, economic opportunities, and sustainable transportation across urban and regional areas. This vision emphasizes safety, innovation, and collaboration with key stakeholders to shape the future of air mobility.
Wisk’s white paper outlines a comprehensive vision for integrating autonomous Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) into Australia’s transportation ecosystem. Key points include:
Operational Framework
- Autonomous aircraft supervised remotely by Multi-Vehicle Supervisors (MVSors) in Fleet Operations Centers (FOCs)
- Aircraft independently handle navigation, obstacle avoidance, and contingency management
- Integration with emerging systems like Flight Information Management System (FIMS) and UAS Service Suppliers (USS) for seamless airspace integration
Use Cases
- Urban Air Mobility (UAM): Passenger air taxi services connecting cities and suburbs
- Regional Air Mobility (RAM): Enhancing access to services in rural and remote communities
- Cargo and Logistics: Supporting supply chain resilience
- Medical Transport: Rapid response for emergency medical evacuation
Safety and Technology
- Advanced Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) systems
- Cybersecurity measures compliant with aviation standards
- Autonomous redundancy for handling contingencies
Infrastructure and Scalability
- Fixed-route networks and vertiports
- Technical maintenance hubs for continuous airworthiness
- Partnerships with vertiport operators for ground operations
Regulatory and Community Engagement
- Collaboration with CASA and Airservices Australia for policy evolution
- Emphasis on community engagement to address concerns and foster acceptance
The paper positions Wisk’s approach as a scalable, safe, and efficient solution to address Australia’s unique transportation needs while setting a global standard for advanced air mobility[1].
