Skyryse, the creator of SkyOS, has revealed an updated production cockpit for its Skyryse One aircraft. The design features an elevated, scalable layout that improves access to flight controls from both front seats, supporting Skyryse’s vision for simplified flight technology and aligning with the company's mission to create a universal operating system for flight.
"The benefit of digitizing the controls is that it gives us the flexibility to create the most ergonomically advanced cockpit ever designed," says Dr. Mark Groden, CEO of Skyryse. "This updated design not only makes the aircraft easier and safer to operate but also allows us to create a truly modern cockpit that will become the standard for aviation."
The updated cockpit design is intended to streamline certification and enhance the user experience, with a focus on ergonomics and flexibility. The introduction of George Evans as Lead Human Factors Engineer and Pete Blades as VP of Design helped refine the cockpit, drawing on their experience in automotive interior design.
Drawing from their extensive experience designing interiors for Tesla and other automakers, Evans, Blades and team developed an updated design for Skyryse One that will accelerate the ability for Skyryse to scale adoption and certification of SkyOS.
"Starting our scalable interior design journey with Skyryse One was critical to our mission," adds Skyryse VP of Design, Pete Blades. "This new, updated, and upgraded pilot-centric design is flexible enough to give us the ability to implement SkyOS in any aircraft no matter the size, form factor, or use case."
