When testing autonomous flight, the most critical data comes from off-nominal scenarios.
In our joint airspace simulation with NASA Ames Research Center, Michael Johnson, Wisk's Sr. Manager of Autonomous Flight Supervision Systems, breaks down how our framework handles real-world disruptions, including lost C2 links, weather diversions, and traffic conflicts.
The team tested both 1:1 supervision and 1:many multi-aircraft management during high-density operations, validating that ground supervisors can maintain safe cognitive workload when unexpected events occur.
