Skyryse has applied to install a computerized flight control system in the Robinson R66 helicopter. The new system replaces traditional mechanical linkages with digital controls that interpret pilot inputs and manage stability automatically.
Why it matters: This action does not change rules for the general public or other helicopter operators. It simply establishes the safety benchmarks Skyryse must meet to get approval to install its computerized flight control system in the Robinson R66. The change affects only owners of that specific model who choose to pursue the upgrade.
Who it affects
- Skyryse and Robinson Helicopter Company
