NASA has added eVTOL aircraft developers Wisk and Alaka’i Technologies as partners in its Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign. The two companies are joining 17 others in preparing for the first phase of the agency’s so-called Grand Challenge trials in 2022, which are aimed at assessing operational safety scenarios for advanced air mobility.

The Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign is focused on developing what NASA describes as “key guidance for urban air mobility operations.” It is also addressing issues related to certification and the development of standards for automated aviation.
