Helicopter Safety

Skyryse One™ replaces the conventional flight controls of an R66 with the SkyOS™ operating system. Replacing these parts with SkyOS reduces over 324 points of potential failure and creates a flying system more simple to learn than traditional avionics, allowing pilots to spend more time flying an aircraft and less time learning dated flight controls.

For those interested in learning to fly a helicopter and have already earned their private pilot license in a fixed wing aircraft, this is a quick guide as to the rules and regulations of adding helicopter privileges.

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.

Based on final crash and incident reports disseminated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), over 800 fatal general aviation accidents could have been avoided had the SkyOS platform been operable in the aircraft involved in these events.

As both a helicopter and fixed wing pilot, Master CFI Max Trescott was interested in exploring the capabilities of Skyryse SkyOS technology firsthand. In the below video, Skyryse VP of Sales Warren Curry walks Max through some of the state-of-the-art features that has so many members of the general aviation community excited about the SkyOS platform.

Autorotation is a phase of flight where, in the event of an engine failure, pilots are able to safely glide to the ground. Here’s how Skyryse makes autorotations an almost non-event.

With SkyOS in the cockpit, the first step to flying any aircraft is to become a private pilot. From there, with comparatively less flight training than needed today, there will be no limitation on the type of aircraft a pilot can fly.
