Company patents

Skyryse, Inc.

Skyryse, Inc.'s patent strategy, with 43 total patents, shows a surprising early focus on core aerospace technologies like Aircraft Equipment (34.9% of portfolio) and Aircraft & Aerodynamics (32.6%), which saw significant patenting activity in 2024 but have since experienced declines of -66.7% and -55.6% respectively in 2025. While many categories show a slowdown in 2025 and so far in 2026, the emergence of Navigation & Geodesy with 3 patents in 2026 (a 100% YoY increase from zero in prior years) suggests a new, rapidly growing area of interest for the company.

Controller for Electro-Mechanical Actuator with Integrated Fail-Operational Mechanism

Filed:2025-09-29Pub:2026-04-02
Applicant:Skyryse, Inc.

A system includes a controller module and an electro-mechanical actuator coupled to a first mounting point and a second mounting point. The electro-mechanical actuator includes one or more motors. The controller module controls the one or more motors based on a sensor signal from a motor or a sensor signal from a sensor assembly of the actuator.

Electro-mechanical actuator with integrated fail-operational mechanism

Filed:2024-05-24Pub:2025-10-21
Applicant:Skyryse, Inc.

Some embodiments relate to an electro-mechanical coupled to a first mounting point and a second mounting point. The electro-mechanical actuator includes a screw, a first nut on the screw, a sensor assembly, a first motor, and a backup motor. The first nut is coupled to the first mounting point. The sensor assembly generates signals indicative of (a) the position of the first nut on the screw or (b) changes in the position of the first nut on the screw. The first motor can rotate the first nut about a screw axis of the screw. The backup motor can rotate the first nut about the screw axis of the screw. A controller module can control the first motor or the backup motor based on the signals generated by the sensor assembly.

Electro-mechanical actuator with integrated fail-operational mechanism

Filed:2023-05-05Pub:2024-06-25
Applicant:Skyryse, Inc.

Some embodiments relate to an electro-mechanical actuator that includes a screw, structurally segregated (split) housings, first and second nuts coupled to the screw, a sensor assembly, a plurality of motors, and a controller. The first nut is coupled to a first mounting point, and the second nut is coupled to a second mounting point. The sensor assembly may generate signals indicative of (e.g., relative) positions of left and right units of the actuator or positions of the first nut and the second nut on the screw. The controller controls the motors based on the signals generated by the sensor assembly. The motors may rotate each nut about a screw axis of the screw. This rotation results in one or both nuts moving along the screw. Movement between the first nut and the second nut along the screw adjusts a distance between the first mounting point and the second mounting point.
