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, one day, eliminate general aviation fatalities.
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.
