Skyryse is developing SkyOS - AI-based operating system for military helicopters Black Hawk. It allows to eliminate dozens of mechanical flight controls, such as instruments and switches and replace them with a system containing multiple onboard computers that automate the more complex and dangerous aspects of aircraft control. This is not a fully autonomous system; the pilot still must operate it. However, it is designed to automate the most complex aspects of flight control, enhancing pilot training and improving safety. The system automates takeoffs and landings, as well as fully automates hovering and emergency landings in the event of engine failure.

Volocopter produces electric air taxis VoloCity for transporting people in cities and suburbs. According to the company, its eVTOL aircraft is silent, environmentally friendly and as safe as commercial airlines. The compact design, combined with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, makes it ideal for flights in cities and terrain inaccessible to other modes of transport. The company has also developed the VOLOIQ software platform, which serves as the foundation of the Volocopter urban air mobility ecosystem. Powered by artificial intelligence, it provides technologically advanced analytics for fleet management and optimization. It uses AI to predict weather, distribute flights among passengers, optimize aircraft charging, process safety data from multiple sensors, predict breakdowns, and create optimal maintenance schedules.
