Reservations for the Skyryse One First Edition, a Robinson R66 modified with the SkyOS operating system, have sold out in just six months.
Skyryse One is surrounded by attendees at the 2024 EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Skyryse, the creator of the universal flight operating system SkyOS, has sold out of reservations for the Skyryse One First Edition, a Robinson R66 modified with its SkyOS operating system, in just six months.

As the world's first production helicopter to feature a single control stick and two touch screens, Skyryse One represents a landmark advancement in pilot control and safety. Early adopters secured their reservations for the First Edition at an exclusive introductory price of $1,800,000, excluding any additional customisation options, underscoring the enthusiasm for this groundbreaking aircraft.

Skyryse continues to accept reservations at $2,500 for the base version of the Skyryse One aircraft, with final pricing to be based on customisation and delivery preferences. Interested customers are encouraged to act quickly as Skyryse will honour current pricing based upon delivery year and placement on the reservation list.

“We are thrilled to see such remarkable interest in the Skyryse One First Edition,” says chief marketing officer Jerry Meyer. “Our goal is to open up access to aviation by making it safer and simpler to pilot any aircraft. The market response that we’ve received for Skyryse One demonstrates the demand for this technology, and we will continue to keep the reservation programme open for those who want to join the Skyryse family.”

Skyryse One offers a highly intuitive experience, leveraging the SkyOS operating system for control simplicity, operational safety and pilot confidence.
