Aviation technologist Skyryse is aligning its Skyryse One production helicopter to exceed performance standards under the FAA's newly finalized Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (Mosaic) rule as it progresses on development of its SkyOS operating system that automates key aircraft functions. The company lauded the release of the Mosaic rule on Tuesday at EAA AirVenture as “a pivotal moment in the evolution of aviation,” fostering new technologies in light aircraft.
Skyryse said Mosaic shifts rules from rigid requirements to performance-based standards, facilitating opportunities for safer and more capable technologies. In particular, the company praised the rule for outlining how aircraft, helicopters, and future vertical lift aircraft equipped with systems such as its SkyOS may only require 20 hours of pilot training. A “simplified vehicle operation” (SVO), SkyOS replaces conventional, complex mechanical flight controls with an intelligent, integrated fly-by-wire flight control and operating system.
