Our Mission, Our Vision and Our Team
Skyryse is an aviation hardware and software company ushering in a new era in flight safety. Its proprietary technology, SkyOS™ is a universal operating system for flight – which powers its first aircraft, the Skyryse One™ – giving pilots greater control by simplifying the management of an aircraft during standard flight operations, inclement weather, and emergencies.
Founded in 2016, Skyryse has accomplished several industry firsts made possible by SkyOS, including the world’s first automated takeoff, hover, landing, and automated engine-out landing of a helicopter, all controlled with the swipe of a finger.
We value safety above all else, both for our employees advancing our mission and our customers who trust our technology with their lives.
We believe reducing unnecessary complexity increases clarity, minimizes opportunities for error, and streamlines our path to success.
We are guided by the highest standards of excellence, as the consequences of failure in our mission are very real, in both lives and resources.
We are commited to a culture of trust, accountability, and doing things the right way, all of which is essential for long term success.
We understand that collaboration on collective goals is mission critical as we solve the most difficult and complex problems.
As an engineer with a Ph.D. in sensor data fusion and 60+ patents for aerial vehicle automation, Founder and CEO Mark Groden has always been obsessed with flying machines.
As a teenager, Mark began pilot training, where he came to understand the complexity of flying mechanics, and more critically, the challenges and often fatal consequences pilots face when things go wrong.
Having experienced the technology gap in aviation firsthand, Mark decided to found an aviation technology company focused on the industry’s number one problem – flight safety.
