Wisk selects Liebherr for Generation 6 actuation system
Wisk selected Liebherr-Aerospace to develop and supply electromechanical actuation for Generation 6 flight surfaces and propulsion tilt.
Evidence notes
- Liebherr will provide electromechanical actuation for Generation 6 flaperons, elevators and rudders as well as the propulsion system's tilt angle.
- The long-term agreement covers development, certification and full-rate scaled production.
- Liebherr is adapting its modular LiVCAS flight-control system for the smaller all-electric aircraft architecture and will manufacture the hardware primarily in Germany.
Company context
Wisk Aero develops a self-flying, all-electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft and the ground systems required to supervise autonomous passenger operations. The Boeing-owned company combines aircraft, deterministic flight autonomy, sensing, fleet operations and airspace integration, with certification work centred on its four-seat Generation 6 air taxi.
