Future Flight Central<\/a>, at Ames Research Center. The two-story facility provides a 360-degree, full-scale airport simulation environment. Testing took place along flight paths in California's San Francisco Bay Area, specifically following predetermined IFR routes between Moffett Federal Airfield (KNUQ) and San Martin Airport (E16).<\/p>\nThe human-in\/over-the-loop simulation, which featured air traffic controllers communicating with Wisk\u2019s supervisors, evaluated a series of complex nominal and contingency scenarios developed jointly by Wisk and NASA. This activity is designed not only to practice standardized procedures under normal conditions, but also to test Wisk\u2019s methodology against multiple contingencies. By evaluating performance during worst-case scenarios, Wisk assessed how the methodology remains resilient and capable of supporting scalable operations.<\/p>
\n\"This is an incredible milestone for Wisk as it\u2019s the first time we\u2019ve tested our 1:3 supervisor-to-aircraft ratio with NASA in a high-fidelity, high-workload environment that mirrors the complexity of the National Airspace System,\" said Erick Corona, Head of System and Operations Integration. \"Wisk is doing more than building an autonomous aircraft. We are working closely with organizations like NASA to mature and modernize the broader aviation ecosystem. Proving that a single ground-based supervisor can manage multiple flights safely and efficiently is paramount to making commercial air taxi operations scalable and affordable. We are deeply grateful to the NASA team for their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to this project.\"<\/p>
\nThe campaign utilized Wisk\u2019s Remote Supervision System and autonomous systems to manage navigation and communication seamlessly. The teams captured precise data on communication response time, task latency, situation awareness, and cognitive workload using NASA\u2019s Task Load Index and the Bedford Workload Scale.<\/p>
\nData and findings generated from these joint exercises will help inform standardized communication and procedures to reduce both ATC and pilot workloads, laying the foundation for future policy framework on how communication can be streamlined and eventually digitized (e.g., Automated Flight Rules). Wisk and NASA will continue to collaborate on joint studies and campaigns around autonomous integration in the NAS. By demonstrating that autonomous flight with human oversight can safely handle complex air traffic coordination scenarios, Wisk has taken an important step toward making safe autonomous air travel an everyday reality.<\/p>
