EL
SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Skyryse®, the creator of
SkyOS™, the world's first universal operating system for
flight, is thrilled to announce that its Skyryse
One™ aircraft has been honored by Fast Company magazine
in their annual Innovation by Design Awards as one of the best
transportation designs of 2024.
Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards celebrate the year's
most impactful and innovative design solutions across a variety of
categories. The transportation category honors projects that
significantly enhance mobility and transportation efficiency,
making a lasting impact on how we navigate our world. Skyryse One,
with its first-of-its-kind simplified controls and pilot-centric
design, exemplifies these qualities, setting a new standard for
airflight.
"We are deeply honored to be recognized by Fast Company in their
Innovation by Design Awards," said Dr. Mark
Groden, CEO of Skyryse. "This accolade is a testament to the
hard work and dedication of our team who have tirelessly worked to
bring the vision of Skyryse One to life. We extend our heartfelt
thanks to the judges, who come from some of the world's most
exciting design-led companies, for recognizing the transformative
potential of our aircraft."
By removing the complex mechanical controls and replacing them
with a single four-axis control stick reminiscent of that found in
an F-35, Skyryse One brings a new level of simplicity and safety to
aviation. As the company continues to advance its mission to make
all of aviation simpler and safer, this recognition from Fast
Company underscores the significant strides Skyryse is making to
bring its mission to life.
