In this episode, Max visits Skyryse, a Southern California-based startup. Its Skyryse One helicopter, has a revolutionary cockpit configuration that eliminates traditional controls such as the cyclic, collective, and pedals. Instead, it features a single centrally mounted control stick and two touchscreen displays, all powered by a triply redundant fly-by-wire flight control system and the company's proprietary SkyOS.
The Skyryse One is half the cost of the cheapest IFR-certified helicopters, significantly enhancing safety in the helicopter industry. The aircraft is priced at $1.8 million, higher than the standard Robinson R66 that its based upon, but Skyryse believes the increased safety and capability will justify the premium cost for private pilots and commercial operators.
The company aims to certify the Skyryse One by 2025 and it plans to offer the system in other helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. The podcast includes a detailed discussion and demonstration of the Skyryse simulator, highlighting the intuitive controls and dynamic flight protection features that make flying easier and safer.
