The technology, called FlightOS, is the first of its kind to manage complex emergency procedures, including autorotation in the event of engine failure.
In July, Skyryse successfully demonstrated a fully automatic autorotation helicopter emergency landing procedure. This breakthrough was achieved in the Los Angeles area with a five-passenger Robinson R66 helicopter equipped with Skyryse technology.
The system uses redundant steering controls and an array of sensors that quickly detect a power outage, initiate multiple procedures and execute landings with the touch of a button.
But some pilots have expressed doubts about the Skyryse software’s ability to surpass a human in flying helicopters. They highlight the importance of human input in complex scenarios and the potential risks associated with converting mechanical inputs into tablet control.
