Skyryse creates technology for the aviation industry, focusing on making flying safer and easier. Their main product, Skyryse One, uses a system called SkyOS, which replaces traditional mechanical parts with smart actuators, reducing potential failure points. Pilots control the aircraft through a touchscreen interface, and in case of power failure, the system automatically engages a safe landing maneuver. Skyryse aims to lower general aviation accidents and make piloting more intuitive for users.
