Skyryse focuses on enhancing aviation safety and accessibility with its product, Skyryse One, which uses SkyOS to simplify aircraft control. This system replaces traditional mechanical components with smart actuators, reducing potential failure points and making flights more reliable. Pilots can control the aircraft through an intuitive touchscreen interface, and in case of power failure, the system automatically initiates a safe landing maneuver. The company aims to lower general aviation fatalities and targets private pilots and small aircraft operators with its technology.
