Skyryse is taking refundable, non-transferrable $2,500 deposits for its Skyryse One, a Robinson R66 retrofitted with its SkyOS operating system featuring simplified, single-stick control and two touchscreens. The proprietary system offers an IFR-capable, aircraft-agnostic, triple-redundant fly-by-wire system.

The company is in the final stages of the FAA STC certification process and plans to offer the new-production helicopter for a base price of $1.8 million. The company said it anticipates receiving certification and beginning deliveries in 2025. Skyryse said SkyOS is designed to put “the pilot fully in command while freeing them from mundane, error-prone chores.”
