Powering the revolutionary controls of the Skyryse One is SkyOS™, the first operating system for flight with simplified control and an aircraft-agnostic, triply-redundant fly-by-wire system. By replacing the decades-old mechanical controls and creating the first digital backbone for an entire aircraft, Skyryse completely rethought cockpit design from a blank slate to create the most integrated, elevated, and simplified aircraft in the world.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see the helicopter up close for the very first time in public and meet members of the Skyryse team at Booth #420 – located in between the control tower and the EAA's main merchandise tent. The booth was designed to bring Skyryse One's groundbreaking, simple, ergonomic, and upscale interior to life.
Visitors will also have a chance to experience what it's like to fly the groundbreaking SkyOS universal flight operating system with a demonstration in a conforming simulator. Sign up for an opportunity to experience the simulator at AirVenture here on the Skyryse website.
