We want to empower anyone,
to fly anywhere, in any aircraft -
as safely as a highly experienced pilot.
Our Mission
To bring general aviation fatalities to zero.
At Skyryse, we believe it’s our moral imperative to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, general aviation fatalities through the widespread adoption of our universal flight deck. Our system makes flying accessible and safe for all. With our technology, earning a pilot’s license is easy, empowering anyone to experience the joy and freedom of flight, and connect with the world.
From the past to the present
Over a century after the Wright Brothers changed the course of aviation at Kitty Hawk, we are ushering in the next leap forward.
Skyryse is standardizing flying through our interoperable flight automation system, and we have a clear path to certification.
