Features and Capabilities of SkyOS

Necessary emergency controls such as Air Restart and Fuel Cutoff are one tap away from the moment the system starts to when it shuts down.

These soft circuit breakers are controlled directly from the touchscreens, making them easy to access and eliminating the risk of electrical arcing and fire caused by worn-out or poorly functioning mechanical breaker contacts.

This single pilot inceptor is triply redundant, jam-tolerant, and gives the pilot complete control of direction, altitude and speed across all axes with one hand.

These dynamic gauges combine the advantages of the analog interface with digital display.

As the primary interface for flight and systems management, these touchscreens make flying intuitive, easy and safe.

By calculating weight of passengers and luggage, the system can determine whether the vehicle is safe to fly and determine accurate fuel burn throughout every phase of flight.

Built-in and easy-to-follow, this checklist prevent pilots from missing safety-critical steps.

The system not only keeps the vehicle out of entering an input that would put the system into low-G, but also performs corrective actions if an external disturbance causes the condition.

By ensuring sufficient airflow and proper fuel scheduling during engine starts, the system prevents excessive temperatures and damage to the vehicle.

The system protects the engine from exceeding design limitations during normal operations.

The system limits excessive altitude rate of change in slower airspeeds to protect against vortex ring state.

With a triply-redundant architecture, flight control computers are engineered to 10-9 aviation safety standards, meeting the FAA’s most rigorous reliability requirements.

An integrated display and monitoring system provides the priority, nature, and immediate action steps for issues.

With IFR capabilities through an advanced sensor fusion suite, pilots can fly into Intrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC).

This automated emergency feature simplifies an autorotation by reducing cognitive load. The system initiates an autorotation upon engine or tail rotor failure, automating optimum rotor RPM and airspeed to minimize descent rate and maintain safe parameters throughout the profile.

The system can hold position over a fixed point with no pilot input required. Pilots can disengage and engage as needed.

With a single swipe of a finger, pilots can turn on the engine.

After one swipe to turn the engine on, pilots can execute a second swipe to pickup the vehicle, all while keeping the aircraft within the safe operational envelope.

Pilots can pre-plan any route and let the system navigate.

Without any pilot input, the vehicle will maintain altitude, direction, and speed – reducing pilot workload, providing more precision control, and preventing pilot disorientation.

Pilot can manage four-axis control of the aircraft, including horizontal and vertical flight plan profiles, through touchscreen operation.

Pilots can set down the vehicle with a single swipe.

The system allows any aircraft to be operated by a ground station, increasing operational effectiveness, reducing aircrew risk, and enabling continuous operations.

With simplified flight controls, the system offers the ability to fly any aircraft in a manner that dramatically reduces cognitive workload and task overloading, even in the most complex operating environments.

SkyOS offers fully autonomous capabilities, enabling aircraft the ability to fly without human intervention throughout the entire mission profile.
