SkyRyse, the developer of SkyOS, a universal operating system for flight, has opened a facility at Hawthorne Municipal airport in California. This latest expansion follows closely on the heels of the recent launch of an additional facility in El Segundo.

The new Hawthorne facility represents a significant milestone in SkyRyse's journey toward the certification of SkyRyse One, the company's flagship aircraft based on the Robinson R66 helicopter and the world's first production helicopter operated with a single control stick and two touch screens. This site will serve as SkyRyse's Part 145 installation and repair centre, playing a crucial role in the ongoing development, installation and maintenance of SkyRyse's systems.

“Expanding our operations to Hawthorne is a critical step in our mission to make aviation simpler and safer,” says CEO Dr Mark Groden. “This new facility will be instrumental in our efforts to certify SkyRyse One and bring our transformative technology to the broader aviation industry.”

The Hawthorne site joins SkyRyse's growing campus, which now includes a headquarters and integration facility in El Segundo and a flight test centre located in Camarillo, both in California.
