Introducing the Skyrise One, the first production helicopter in the world that runs on a single stick and dual touch screens. Its patented operating system, SkyOSTM, which provides simplified control and a triply-redundant fly-by-wire system independent of the aircraft, powers the revolutionary controls.

It is currently the world’s most integrated, raised, and straightforward aircraft—it is no longer just a helicopter. Skyryse was able to start from scratch with a completely new cockpit design by replacing the mechanical controls that had been in place for decades and eliminating hundreds of possible sites of aircraft failure.

The highly automated SkyOS system brings a new level of simplicity and safety to general aviation. For example, here are just a few of the many first-of-its-kind features found in the Skyryse One:

• Fly-By-Wire Flight System: This isn’t autopilot, it’s a true full four-axis flight control system flown with our SkyOS operating system and fly-by-wire.
• Dynamic Envelope Protection: Continuously combining pilot inputs, environmental conditions, aircraft status, and flight parameters to keep you in a safe envelope – simply. The interactive and triply-redundant flight control system provides a level of aviation safety usually found only in fighter jets and airliners.
• Fully Automated Autorotation: Skyryse SkyOS quickly recognizes a power failure and automatically enters into an autorotation, automating the glide, flare, and set-down, with the pilot in control.
• Auto-Pickup and Set-Down: The Skyryse One will auto-pickup and set-down at a pilot’s command with just one simple swipe on the screen.
• Hover Assist: Traditional helicopters require a complex synchronization of all four controls. Skyryse SkyOS simplifies all that, assisting pilots by maintaining a hover at their command (without hands or feet!).
• Inherent Stability: Because Skyryse One is continuously stabilized by SkyOS, you can let go of the controls at any time and the aircraft will stay inside a safe flight envelope.
• Swipe-to-Start: Traditional helicopters are also started through a lengthy multi-step startup procedure. The Skyryse One automates all of that, allowing a pilot to start the engine by swiping right on the screen.
• IFR-Capable: The Skyryse One will be fully certified for Instrument Flight Rules, at half the cost of an IFR-certified helicopter.

Fly-by-wire and flight control software work together seamlessly to eliminate complicated mechanical controls and replace them with a single, four-axis control stick similar to an F-35. This is what Skyryse has done. Combining two user-friendly touch screens with a single control stick, the conventional complicated array of boxes, switches, and indications is removed. The Skyryse One cockpit puts the pilot fully in command while freeing them from mundane, error-prone chores. Skyryse One restores peace of mind to simply enjoy the flight.

Reservations for the Skyryse One, which cost just $2,500 and are non-transferable and fully refundable, will open up on the Skyryse website today. For a limited time, the first clients can secure their Skyryse One First Edition aircraft for a mere $1,800,000, which does not include any extra interior or livery customizations they may choose. The price of the Skyryse One after these First Edition units will depend on production schedule and line position.
