Skyryse® is an aviation hardware and software company ushering in a new era in flight safety. Its core technology, SkyOS™ is a universal operating system for flight – which powers its first aircraft, the Skyryse One™ – giving pilots greater control by simplifying the management of an aircraft during standard flight operations, inclement weather, and emergencies.
Skyryse has secured partnerships for SkyOS integration across every major aviation sector – including the U.S. military, emergency medical service operators, law enforcement, private operators, including the largest firefighting agency in the world and international markets. To date, Skyryse has raised more than $605 million from leading investors, including Autopilot Ventures, Fidelity Management & Research Company, ArrowMark Partners, Atreides Management LP, BAM Elevate, Baron Capital Group, Inc., Durable Capital Partners, Positive Sum, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), RCM Private Markets Fund managed by Rokos Capital Management (US) LP, Woodline Partners and Bill Ford, Executive Chair, Ford Motor Company.
Founded in 2016, Skyryse intentionally began building and testing SkyOS on helicopters because they are both inherently unstable and more complicated for pilots and automated systems to fly than airplanes. For this reason, its technological progress on Skyryse One has propelled the company to rapidly and successfully fly SkyOS technology on one of the world’s most versatile aircraft, the Black Hawk helicopter, and on airplanes, including the top-selling piston airplane for 20 years straight – the Cirrus SR22. The company has announced contracts to integrate SkyOS across various helicopters and airplanes including: Airbus H-125s and H-130s, Bell 407s, Black Hawks, and Pilatus PC-12s as part of its partnerships with United Rotorcraft, Air Methods, Mitsubishi Corporation and more.
“Our mission is to revolutionize aviation technology with the goal of making every person on the planet a pilot while creating the safest mode of transportation ever.”
