O’Neill alleges that she submitted two formal reports detailing how engineers were directed to scale back FAA-required software testing to ensure the firm met its 2025 test flight schedule. According to the court filing, her termination occurred just weeks after the second complaint was submitted. The legal action, first reported by The Seattle Times, accuses Wisk of discrimination and wrongful termination.
Wisk Aero has been a prominent player in the electric vertical takeoff and landing sector since its 2019 founding, focusing heavily on autonomous flight technology. Earlier this year, the FAA selected the company as one of eight participants for a three-year testing program. While Boeing declined to address the litigation, representatives from Wisk did not respond to inquiries regarding the allegations.
