About Nicholas Cyganski

As a robotics engineer by training with aviation as my foremost passion, I've always sought to guide the next generation of aviation technology, and those who will be entrusted to fly with it. Most recently, I created Black Square Simulations to produce accessible study-level aircraft simulations and learning tools for flight simulators. Though my areas of work have shifted over the years from autonomous aviation and unmanned aerial systems to flight simulation and flight training, I feel most dedicated towards ensuring that historical knowledge of aircraft systems and human-machine interface design are represented in the future of cockpit automation.

    In 2017, a team of pilots and engineers founded AutoFlight to augmented an existing certified aircraft with a suite of prototype hardware and software to enable optionally piloted, gate-to-gate autonomy in a Piper Cherokee 140. A full generation of prototypes later, the AutoFlight team is ready to seek investment in bringing their autonomous aircraft technology into a more capable category of aircraft, and into the air cargo logistics industry for use in 24/7 pilotless operations.

    www.friendlyskiesfilm.comAs a recently certificated pilot, I hope to share my aviation adventures over the next few years. There is so much to be learned on every flight about how our national aviation system operates, from airspace and communications, to fixed base operators and airport diners. Modern video sharing and filming techniques allow my peers and I to capture nearly lost information about flying that has only appeared in print until today.
