Today, business aviation lacks the tools to achieve
its environmental ambitons

40%
of flights operated by private aviation are empty

5x

RISE's mission is to offer solutions for business aviation operators to lower their emissions and improve their efficiency

" As pilots and transportation enthusiasts, we have been monitoring the revolution at play in the field of regional & charter aviation. Some very capable people are working on the next futur(istic) aircraft. However, there is a missing piece to the puzzle, which is to design and optimize the operation of current and future aircraft. This is where RISE comes into play! "
