Flying airplanes is too complicated, here's how Skyryse is changing that

Technology has simplified so much in our lives, but helicopters and airplanes remain massively complicated to operate. This technology gap has caused a barrier to entry for aspiring pilots, and is a causal factor in many aviation accidents. In this video, Skyryse introduces our vision for changing the general aviation industry.

Skyryse created SkyOS to make flying any aircraft more simple and more safe. To aid the pilot in their decision-making and condense countless instruments, dials, and mechanisms into two touchscreen interfaces. The above video offers some insight into our company journey: how we started, what we've created, and where we're going.

  • 2017, Skyryse flew the first full-scale unmanned VTOL and debuted a 4-axis control stick in simulation.
  • 2019, we performed an automated helicopter hover. And have evolved this technology to "Hover Assist", which lets pilots take off and remain in a constant hover without using pedals or flight controls. 
  • 2020, Skyryse introduced a touchscreen interface to make flying by your fingertips as intuitive as  manipulating flight controls by hand. 
  • 2023, we demonstrated the world's first fully-automated helicopter autorotation all the way down to the ground, a feature never seen in general aviation and is sure to save countless lives. 

Now in 2024, we have unveiled Skyryse One, the first production aircraft powered entirely by SkyOS. With two touch screen interfaces and a single joystick, Skyryse One is the first completely modern helicopter.

While we are excited about the Skyryse One, this is just the beginning for our company. SkyOS can power any helicopter, airplane, or aircraft of the future. It is truly a universal operating system that we believe will revolutionize and advance the safety of general aviation.
