INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Skyryse is a three-year-old transportation startup that is approaching the future of aviation from a different angle when compared to most
You often see startups building new kinds of aircraft, with electric powertrains, multiple rotors for vertical take-off and landing, and
Groden, is all about broad applicability, reliability, redundancy and safety
to human pilots; flight control automation that can still operate safely even in case of failure; safe operational limit monitoring and
intervention; connected, intelligent helipads that provide monitoring and alerts; and an air traffic control component designed to work with
people that work at Skyryse, we choose where we live based upon the way the transportation system may or may not be able to get us to the
easily achievable to tackle autonomy in the air than on the ground, for similar reasons
This is like a metaphorical train system, and so you need the tracks, you need the switches, you need the communications architecture, you

Gonzalo Rey, who previously was CTO at Moog, where he oversaw the development of flight control actuation systems for the Boeing 787 and
Skyryse COO Brian Coulter previously co-founded both JetSuite Air and JetBlue, which adds into the mix experience operating in the airline
industry.Today, the company is demonstrating that its technology can already work with existing aircraft and air traffic management systems
Skyryse is also revealing that it now has $38 million in total funding, including an additional $13 million on top of the Series A it
has the potential to upend traditional transportation models.Car sharing, ride hailing and now on-demand electric bike and scooter services
have all made claims around being able to alleviate congestion and traffic within cities, but so far none has really helped reverse the
Autonomous air transportation might be the solution that actually makes a difference, and Skyryse might be the startup that helps make that
possible with its full-stack approach.
