Skyryse achieves historic first flight of Black Hawk with SkyOS

Skyryse attributes the rapid integration and successful first flight to its unique testing philosophy. To date, Skyryse has completed 10,000-plus simulated flight hours including purposefully injected anomalies for added stress testing, as well as 2,800-plus crewed flight hours with SkyOS.

Successfully executing an automated pickup, stable hover, precision flight manuevers with a single control stick, and an automated setdown in a Black Hawk adds to a list of industry-first’s from the company, including the first-ever automated takeoff, hover and landing at the swipe of a finger, as well as the world’s first automated engine-out landing (autorotation), which is both a complex, and critical emergency maneuver.
