What is it like to be at the controls of the next great leap in aviation? Test pilots from BETA Technologies, Joby Aviation and Wisk describe how flying electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft differs from conventional aircraft. They also share ideas on what future AAM pilots should be doing now if they want to fly these new vehicles.
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Mike Luvara, test pilot and engineer at Wisk
- Nate Moyer, team member and test pilot at BETA Technologies
- Peter Wilson, Joby Aviation’s director of flight standards and training
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest.
