News of the Day

Skyryse has officially joined the ranks of aviation "unicorns" after securing a massive $300 million Series C funding round that values the El Segundo-based startup at $1.15 billion. Led by Autopilot Ventures, this capital injection serves as a high-octane accelerant for the final phase of Federal Aviation Administration certification for its flagship SkyOS platform. Unlike pure-play autonomous drone startups, Skyryse is positioning itself as the universal "infrastructure layer" for flight, replacing antiquated mechanical cockpits with a triply-redundant digital operating system that allows pilots to execute complex maneuvers—including takeoffs, landings, and emergency autorotations—with a literal swipe of a finger on a touchscreen. With more than $605 million in total equity raised to date and a strategic 91-day integration already completed on the U.S. Army’s Black Hawk helicopters, the company is proving that its aircraft-agnostic software can be deployed across the world’s most versatile fleets for both civilian emergency services and high-stakes military operations.
