Partnership

Archer Aviation acquires Wisk Aero, SkyGrid, and Insitu from Boeing

Boeing agreed to sell Wisk Aero, SkyGrid (airspace management software), and Insitu (drone maker) to Archer Aviation in exchange for a 16.5% ownership stake in Archer. The deal consolidates two rival eVTOL developers and ends a complex history that began with Wisk's 2021 IP theft lawsuit against Archer, which was settled in 2023 with a collaboration agreement.
