“As both a pilot and an engineer, I’m very concerned with the lack of evolution within general aviation. Commercial airlines are safer than ever but there are still over a thousand small aircraft crashes every year. Why are small planes using the same complicated analog controls from the 1940’s? Why does a helicopter still require both hands and feet just to maintain a hover? The technology exists to do better. It just hasn’t been applied. I started Skyryse to make small aircraft as safe as the big ones. We’ve created a universal flight control system that’s simpler and safer. SkyOS™ is going to save lives.”

"Skyryse, a 50-person start-up backed by $250MM of funding ... “We can build an autonomous aircraft and fly it,” said Mark Groden, chief executive of Skyryse"

"In addition to the screen and joystick, the FlightOS stack includes actuators and flight control computers, which would replace an aircraft’s existing mechanical systems. This one-to-one replacement means that the entire system is “cost neutral,” allowing OEMs to manufacture a vehicle with FlightOS at the same cost as they would for existing aircraft, the company said."

"We could have mass air taxi service sooner and reap the advantages of air transport if we take a step back and look at utilizing existing airframes, automating some flight features, and making air taxis safer for pilots in all weather types. My company, Skyryse, operated the largest piloted air taxi service in the world to date—running 1,200 trips in three months around Los Angeles in 2019."

"In addition to being significantly easier to fly than present vertical lift aircraft on the market, the Skyryse One will be fully IFR capable with an introductory price of $1.8 million. Because the Skyryse One is continuously stabilized by SkyOS, it will be more steady than other vertical lift aircraft. The company said the pilot can “let go of the controls at any time, and the aircraft will stay inside a safe flight envelope.”
