The Skyryse One is touted as the world’s first production fly-by-wire helicopter piloted with a single control stick. Unlike other helicopters, this one recognizes a power failure and automatically enters into an autorotation, which automates the glide, flare, and set-down, with the pilot in full control.
Aside from single control stick and dual touchscreen controls, the helicopter runs SkyOS, a proprietary operating system that offers simplified control as well as an aircraft-agnostic, triply-redundant fly-by-wire system. It also assists pilots by maintaining a hover at their command (without hands or feet), while they can also let go of the controls at any time and the aircraft will stay inside a safe flight envelope. You can reserve a Skyryse One First Edition for $2,500 USD today, with the final price coming in at just over $1.8 million.

The Skyryse One might look familiar on the outside, but the similarities to any other aircraft end there. Since the invention of vertical flight, pilots have juggled four controls simultaneously, using both hands and both feet just to keep it airborne. Until today,” said Dr. Mark Groden, founder and CEO of Skyryse.
