Overview
Designed for enthusiasts previously deterred by the complexity and high barriers of traditional systems, SkyOS replaces outdated mechanical controls with a fully digital, touchscreen-based interface that simplifies flying and boosts confidence in the cockpit.
Skyryse is redefining general aviation by making flight more accessible and dramatically safer.
By replacing hundreds of mechanical components with smart actuators, SkyOS reduces potential failure points and streamlines the flight experience. The intuitive one-stick control and dual touchscreens eliminate the need for complex switches and gauges, creating a clean, modern cockpit. Continuously monitoring pilot inputs, environmental conditions, and aircraft status, SkyOS keeps the Skyryse One within a safe operational envelope, even when hands are off the controls. Fully IFR-certified at half the cost of traditional systems, it offers advanced capability and reliability at a lower barrier to entry. Every function is managed through a unified touchscreen interface, from flight control to circuit breakers. The system safeguards critical parameters, such as RPM, pressure, and torque, ensuring safe engine and rotor performance from start-up to shutdown. Hover Assist allows the aircraft to maintain a stable hover with a single command, transforming a traditionally complex task into an effortless maneuver.
The Skyryse One’s interior emphasizes clarity and comfort. Thoughtful ergonomics, high-end materials, and simplified touchpoints enhance both usability and the overall experience. Complemented by a sleek, distinctive livery, the aircraft flies differently and looks the part, standing out as a symbol of next-generation aviation.
