Aviation: World's First Automated Autorotation System

Nov 21, 2023
Aviation startup Skyryse just developed the world's first automated autorotation system, allowing helicopters to safely land without power.

The details:
  • Autorotation landings are difficult emergency maneuvers pilots perform when engines fail.
  • Skyryse's system immediately recognizes autorotation landings — managing pitch, speed, flare, and other landing procedures.
  • Test pilots completed the first full automated autorotation landing in a Robinson R66 helicopter.
  • The tech aims to bring commercial airline safety levels to private helicopter flights.

Skyryse's system is designed to be easy to use, with a simple and intuitive interface. This makes it accessible to pilots of all experience levels, further enhancing its potential to improve safety.

Autorotation is a complex maneuver that requires precise and timely actions from the pilot. Skyryse's system automates this process, significantly reducing the pilot's workload and allowing them to focus on other critical tasks during an emergency.

Helicopter flight isn’t for the faint of heart — and takes extreme skill for even the most experienced pilots. This new system can automate split-second decisions necessary in potentially life-or-death situations.
