Gary Gysin brings his substantial eVTOL technology experience to Airspeeder
Gary Gysin, the ex-founding CEO of Wisk Aero has joined Airspeeder as a board member.
Headquartered in London, England, Airspeeder is the world’s first racing series for hydrogen-electric flying cars, with a mission to accelerate eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) advanced aviation technology through intense sporting competition.
With a stellar career in the aviation and technology sectors, Gysin brings a wealth of experience and expertise to propel eVTOL technology and autonomous flight at Airspeeder.
Gysin, who last headed California-headquartered Wisk Aero, the Boeing-led aerospace manufacturer developing self-flying eVTOL aircraft, said: “I am thrilled to join Airspeeder’s board and be a part of this exciting journey towards the future of mobility.
“Formula 1 racing and autosport racing of all forms has helped spur innovation and safety in consumer vehicles and Airspeeder is leading the way in eVTOL with its electric flying car racing approach,” Gysin added.
‘Invaluable board member’
Matthew Pearson, Founder of Airspeeder, noted: “Gary’s expertise and forward-thinking approach to aviation and autonomy make him an invaluable addition to our board.
“We are excited to collaborate with him as we continue to push the boundaries of electric flight and redefine the future of transportation; his perspective on the future of the industry is key as we build a motorsport that has deep resonance with the wider market of OEMs crafting transformational electric aircraft.”
Airspeeder is working on eVTOL technology that combines cutting-edge technology, high-performance electric aircraft, and racing experiences, thereby also inspiring a new generation of aviators and engineers.
As it progresses in electric flying car racing, Gysin’s industry acumen and experience are expected to contribute to the company’s growth in the rapidly evolving eVTOL industry.
Airspeeder’s racing aircraft, also known as multicopters, are being developed at Alauda Aeronautics, an advanced aerospace engineering hub in Adelaide, South Australia.
