Recently retired FAA Certification head Lirio Liu has joined Skyryse to assist in guiding the company toward certification. Skyryse claims it has developed "the world’s first universal operating system for flight" and showcased its technology at AirVenture.

"I am excited to engage with Skyryse and contribute to their mission of making all aviation simpler and safer," said Liu. "The potential of SkyOS to enhance flight safety and accessibility is groundbreaking, and I look forward to working with a team that is clearly focused on a sound safety culture as it certifies safety-enhancing products domestically and abroad." Liu retired from the FAA in June.

Liu will concentrate on the certification of Skyryse One, the company's first commercially available aircraft, which integrates a single-stick fly-by-wire control system based on a Robinson R66 helicopter. She will also advise the company on future projects and international growth.
