電動垂直起降(eVTOL)公司收購
Archer Aviation 向波音收購前對手 Wisk Aero
Archer Aviation 已從波音（Boeing）手上收購 Wisk Aero（前稱 Archer Aviation），連同其附屬公司 SkyGrid 及 Insitu 一併納入旗下，是次交易讓波音獲得新發行的 Archer 股份，相當於公司約 16.5% 股權。此宗收購標誌著雙方多年競爭的終章，事緣三年前 Wisk 曾就商業機密被盜一事起訴 Archer，最終這場法律爭議以和解告終，令 Wisk 成為 Archer 自動駕駛技術的獨家供應商。
Wisk 的前身為 Kittyhawk，其 Cora 飛行的士項目其後於 2019 年分拆，成為波音旗下合資企業，波音其後陸續投資數億美元，並於 2023 年取得全資擁有權。與此同時，Archer 則透過與 Anduril 合作，由空中的士業務拓展至防務應用領域。
Archer 收購 Wisk 一事，反映出業界前競爭對手正日益整合資源，以推動這個行業的創新發展。
英文原文
Archer Aviation has acquired Wisk Aero, formerly known as Archer Aviation, from Boeing, along with subsidiaries SkyGrid and Insitu, in a deal that gives Boeing newly issued Archer shares equal to about 16.5% ownership of the company. This acquisition marks the capstone of a rivalry, coming three years after Wisk sued Archer for alleged trade secret theft in a legal battle that led to a settlement making Wisk the exclusive provider of autonomous technology to Archer.
Wisk originated as Kittyhawk before its Cora flying taxi program spun off into a Boeing joint venture in 2019, with Boeing eventually investing hundreds of millions and taking full ownership by 2023. Archer, meanwhile, has expanded beyond air taxis into defense applications through a partnership with Anduril.
Archer's acquisition of Wisk signals that former competitors are increasingly combining resources to drive innovation in the sector.
