Skyryse Introduces FlightOS

Illinois Ventures portfolio company Skyryse unveiled FlightOS, a new flight automation system that can retrofit onto any aircraft to enable anyone to fly as safely as the best pilots on their best day using intuitive controls. The aircraft-agnostic system introduces a new paradigm in flight safety and capabilities through simplified flight control operations.

FlightOS leverages Skyryse's full flight automation so pilots no longer need to worry about complex flight controls or structural and airframe operating limits. The result is that more people will be able to fly safely in more situations, alleviating a choke point for the many critical organizations that depend on the multi-billion dollar aircraft industry.

Skyryse is a transportation technology company built by transportation experts from Airbus, Boeing, Ford, JetBlue, Moog, SpaceX, Tesla, Uber, the U.S. Military and Zoox. The company has raised $38 million from other leading investors including Venrock, Eclipse Ventures, Fontinalis, Stanford University, and Bill Ford, the executive chairman of Ford Motor Company.
