Building this aircraft was about creating a real-world testbed for the technology we’ve been developing for 17 years.

After months of construction, putting energy, money, and enthusiasm, you want to see the plane successfully take to the skies.

Now, with over 500 hours flown, the aircraft has proven that AI-powered glass cockpits are the next step in evolution. They reduce pilot workload. They improve safety. And they’re ready for the experimental aircraft market.

Schochman ecosystem

We have developed our own hardware, software for our glass cockpit in-house: our own EMS, AHRS, DATAHUB modules, etc.
