Skyryse

Welcome to a new era in flight safety. Powered by SkyOS™.

[Skyryse @skyryse]

Skyryse One™ has done something that’s never been done before – a fully automated takeoff with just a simple swipe of the finger.

Controlling and hovering a helicopter is now as simple as a person swiping right on a cell phone.

For 250 years, America has been defined by bold ideas and the people willing to bring them to life.

We're proud to build on that legacy as we help shape the future of flight—making it safer, simpler, and more accessible.

Happy America 250!

Can SkyOS fly in IFR conditions? How does it handle an engine failure? Could SkyOS be installed on aircraft like the V-22 Osprey?

In our latest Ask a Skyryser, VP of Engineering Rush Patel answers some of the most common questions we receive about aviation automation, helicopter operations, and the future of software-defined flight.

Honored to host U.S. Army leaders at Skyryse for a firsthand look at SkyOS.

We had productive discussions about the role of aviation automation in increasing mission effectiveness, reliability, and operational flexibility across the modern battlefield.

The visit included an opportunity to fly with SkyOS and experience firsthand how software-defined flight can reduce pilot workload while expanding operational capability.

Thank you to the U.S. Army team for the visit and continued engagement.

Aviation's cockpit hasn't changed much since the 1940s. We think that's a problem worth solving.

Fast Company named Skyryse a winner in their World Changing Ideas 2026, recognizing our work to modernize flight through SkyOS, our intelligent flight operating system.

From our work with Cal Fire, to bringing SkyOS to the Black Hawk, to the broader mission of simplifying flight, this recognition from Fast Company reflects real-world impact.

Thank you to Fast Company and to every person on the Skyryse team who made this possible.

We were honored to welcome FAA Deputy Administrator Chris Rocheleau to Skyryse.

As aviation enters a new era, we appreciated the opportunity to discuss how software-defined flight can improve safety, expand access to aviation, and support the future of Advanced Air Mobility.

We're excited by the progress being made across the industry and remain committed to working alongside the FAA to bring next-generation flight capabilities to market safely and efficiently.

Thank you to Chris and the FAA team for taking the time to learn more about SkyOS and our vision for the future of flight.

Flight controls haven’t fundamentally changed in decades. Skyryse is leading the shift from hardware-defined to software-defined flight with automation designed to make aviation simpler, safer, and more accessible.

In the latest episode of The Future Of, Founder and CEO Mark Groden joins Jeff Dance to discuss how SkyOS is driving this transformation — from simplifying pilot interactions and improving safety to enabling new levels of automation and accessibility.

The conversation covers the evolution of SkyOS, why Skyryse started with helicopters, the role of automation in preventing dangerous flight scenarios, and what the next 10-20 years of aviation could look like.

From fully automated autorotations and zero-visibility flight to AI copilots and software-defined control systems, this is about building the future foundation of flight.

From the Archives: Running Landings

Running landings are like landing a helicopter the way you would an airplane – where the aircraft touches down while still in forward motion. Because helicopters have skids and no landing gear, including suspension and wheels to absorb impact, running landings are a high-stakes maneuver that demand incredibly precise piloting skills to pull it off safely, and without damaging the aircraft.

In our new series, “From the Archives,” we’ll be sharing a firsthand look at our flight test program, where we validate SkyOS’ automation capabilities across a variety of flight scenarios, both routine and emergency.

Take a look into how SkyOS handles a running landing – just one of many emergency management features made safer and simpler through automation.

What happens when the system enters an area of GPS jamming? Or faces an electrical failure mid-flight?

We asked our Chief Engineer.

In this episode of Ask a Skyryser, Dave Defusco breaks down how SkyOS is designed to handle real-world edge cases – and how automation changes what the pilot actually needs to manage.

Introducing Skyryse Defense.

Aviation is a high-demand, low-supply asset. There are never enough aircraft, pilots, or flight hours.

Skyryse Defense brings SkyOS to defense missions to increase reliability, flexibility, and operational scale from piloted to autonomous flight.

Skyryse was built on a simple belief: automation should make every flight safer and every mission more effective, especially in the environments where it matters most.

In our latest conversation on the Valley of Depth podcast, Founder and CEO Mark Groden breaks down our approach to aviation automation and the launch of Skyryse Defense (https://t.co/eTMp0VZdnV), a new business unit focused on deploying SkyOS across crewed, unmanned, and autonomous aircraft for defense missions.

In defense, aviation is a high-demand, low-supply asset. You never have enough aircraft, pilots, or available flight hours. SkyOS is designed to change that by increasing reliability, flexibility, and operational scale across every mission.

From integrating SkyOS into a Black Hawk in just 91 days to expanding flight operations today, this is about delivering real capabilities, not concepts, for the missions that matter most.

As part of our path to FAA certification, we test each SkyOS component in DO-160 testing – which is qualification testing used to ensure hardware can safely operate in real-world environments. This testing puts all SkyOS hardware in the toughest conditions and includes:

•Vibration testing
•Shock testing
•Waterproof testing
•Thermal testing
•Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) testing

SkyOS is built for real-world unpredictability and by testing SkyOS piece by piece, our technology exceeds typical airliner standards to ensure the highest performance and reliability.

Take a look at some of the most common operations that involve high EMI environments.

SkyOS™ never stops learning.

Last year in Mojave, our Flight Test and GNC teams implemented real-time gain tuning to enhance aircraft response across various maneuvers in Skyryse One™.

Real-time gain tuning is the process of automatically adjusting control parameters of a system, while it’s actively running. For us, that means fine-tuning SkyOS as its flying.

Our ability to make these enhancements real-time not only validates our software architecture on Skyryse One but sharpens our capabilities for our Black Hawk, the SR-22 and soon, the H130. Unlike manual tuning or traditional testing methods that require the system to be offline, our process uses software to make real-time adjustments to controller gains to improve performance.

Stay tuned to see more flight testing on our path to certification.

SkyOS™ was developed on the hardest of all aircraft types – the small helicopter.

We took on this challenge first because we knew it would unlock rapid scaling and deployment across every other aviation category – including airplanes and much larger helicopters like the Black Hawk.

By training SkyOS on a superset of aviation’s engineering requirements, we’re now able to integrate SkyOS on any platform in under 100 days.

Watch as our Founder and CEO @MarkGroden recounts our historic first flight of the Black Hawk with SkyOS, a feat we accomplished in 91 days.

When we set out to achieve the world’s first automated autorotation (an engine out landing on a helicopter), we purposefully designed SkyOS™ to blend the best of human decision making with the most advanced flight automation.

Our Founder and CEO @MarkGroden joined @hangarxstudios to recount our approach to automating one of the hardest emergency maneuvers in aviation – the autorotation.
