Flying This Innovative New Aircraft Is as Easy as Driving Your Car

• https://robbreport.com By JULIE BOATMAN

Simplifying flight—to make it as easy as getting into a car with automatic transmission—has long eluded the aerospace engineers creating new aircraft. While we've relied on flight controls such as ailerons, rudders, and elevators to maneuver around the sky, turning that control yoke or center stick in the cockpit into a "smart" joystick is critical to making aircraft control easier and more intuitive for a wider range of people.

Airhart, a Los Angeles-based start-up, intends to bring the ease of control to light aircraft. Founder and CEO Nikita Ermoshkin is clearly passionate about pushing these boundaries. His background as an engineer for SpaceX—specifically with avionics systems integration into the Falcon 9 project—drives his desire to create what he calls the "easiest-to-fly and safest aircraft ever engineered."
