Skyryse has secured USD 300 million in a Series C funding round, taking its valuation to about USD 1.15 billion. The U.S.-based aviation technology company plans to use the capital to complete FAA certification and expand deployment of its SkyOS flight operating system. SkyOS is designed to simplify aircraft controls and improve safety by replacing traditional mechanical systems with a single, intuitive interface. The company has already demonstrated the system on multiple aircraft and built partnerships across military, emergency, and private aviation segments.
Skyryse recently raised USD 300 million in a Series C funding round, valuing the aviation technology company at approximately USD 1.15 billion. The round was led by Autopilot Ventures, with continued backing from Fidelity Management & Research Company. Other participants included ArrowMark Partners and Qatar Investment Authority. The funding reflects growing investor interest in aviation automation and flight safety technologies. Advertisement
The company intends to deploy the new capital primarily toward completing Federal Aviation Administration certification for its core technology. Skyryse is also planning a wider rollout of its SkyOS flight operating system across different aircraft categories. Founded in 2016, the company focuses on developing both software and hardware solutions that reduce complexity in aircraft operation while enhancing safety standards.
SkyOS replaces conventional mechanical flight controls with a simplified digital interface that allows pilots to operate an aircraft using fewer inputs. The system is designed to reduce pilot workload, especially during emergencies or challenging flying conditions. Skyryse has demonstrated SkyOS on multiple platforms, including the Black Hawk helicopter, where the system successfully performed automated hover, take-off, and landing functions.
Regulatory progress has been steady. During the past year, the FAA granted final design approval for Skyryse's flight control computers. The remaining step involves flight verification, which is required before full certification is issued. Once completed, this would allow broader commercial deployment of the system.
Skyryse has also entered partnerships to integrate SkyOS into aircraft used for military operations, emergency medical services, firefighting, law enforcement, and private aviation. Aircraft models targeted for integration include the Airbus H125, Bell 407, and Pilatus PC-12. The company is working with partners such as United Rotorcraft, Air Methods, and Mitsubishi Corporation to support these integrations.
