Reasons to Invest
- MySky ECO is developing the MySky MS-1L, an eco-friendly aircraft that is the first of five steps to make net zero emission aviation a reality.
- The global market size of the industry was valued at $359.3 billion in 2020 (source).
- Current trends show that people want to do their part to help mitigate the climate crisis, and reducing the carbon footprint of a public-facing industry such as aviation aligns with those values (source).
overview
We put the "eco" in "ecological" and "economical"

The world is in the midst of a serious climate crisis. One significant contributor of the carbon footprint is the airline industry, which is responsible for a growing percentage of all global carbon dioxide emissions (source). Given the interconnectivity of the world, aircrafts are a necessity for family cohesion and businesses throughout the world. At MySky ECO, we are in the process of developing an eco-friendly aircraft that we believe can cut pollution AND fuel costs.
*The above is a photo of the presently flying prototype. The product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
Our plane, the MySky MS-1L is a sleek, modern aircraft that we intend to re-engineer to emit much less contamination. We plan to combine modern technology and innovative design into a five-step plan that will lead us to almost net-zero emission flying, and it starts with the MySky MS-1L. Simply put, we believe that we have discovered an economic argument for being eco-friendly.
THE problem
Aviation is a known contributor of greenhouse gases
The unfortunate truth is that aircrafts release a significant amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In fact, the average Boeing 737 produces 90 kg of CO2 per hour (source). While many airlines are scrambling to curb their carbon output, the world needs a more immediate answer to the climate crisis. Flying is a necessity, as hundreds of millions of people travel on planes every year (source). If we are to sustain this level of travel, then the world needs a mode of aviation with radically lower carbon pollution. Eco-friendly flying must become a reality.
the solution
MySky ECO has a five-step plan to achieve sustainable aviation
We have developed a five-step plan to zero emission flying, and it all starts with the MySkyECO MS-1L. By using small airplanes, we believe we can rapidly evolve the technology and design of the MySky MS-1L to become scalable for commercial operations. We believe that our approach yields a fast evolution and requires modest financial resources. Better yet, in our opinion, the design principles and technology we develop can be applied to large planes, thus possibly reducing an airplane's carbon footprint on a potentially massive scale (source).
*The above is a photo of the presently flying prototype. The product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
This five-step process is designed to not only revolutionize the aviation market as we know it, but we are also aiming to help phase out our dependence on fossil fuels. As we develop these phases, we intend to produce and market our clean, conventional, and electric planes to airlines to use as training aircrafts in their flight schools.
We plan to reinforce the structure of MySky MS-1L using only carbon fiber and upgrade to the clean-running Rotax 915 iS. We believe these changes alone a reduce its carbon footprint by 50% over comparable flight training aircraft.
*The above is a rendering of a future product. Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
While it is true that the battery energy density is not there yet to drive an all-purpose aircraft, we believe a new and important market segment is opening up for us. In the future, we hope that a pure-electric airplane can fulfill certain missions in a commercial flight training environment while saving money, reducing noise, and operating with zero direct emissions.
*The above is a rendering of a future product. Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
This opens another potential market opportunity for us: We believe that infrastructure for electric airplanes is needed at flight schools and service providers (FBOs) at airports all over the world.
Step 3 is implementing this electric plane with a range extender, the MS-1eh.
*Rendering of plan for MS-1eh Powertrain. Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is currently under development.
As long as the battery capacity/weight ratio is not up to par, electric aircraft with range extenders are a big step forward. They are not completely emission free, but the emissions could be significantly reduced. On the street, we believe that this would be called a hybrid. And we believe that hybrids will continue to be a big help in reducing emissions on the ground.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
With step 4, we plan to revolutionize the propulsion industry by implementing a rotary engine, running clean and efficient because of our newly developed laser ignition (we have a patent pending).
We currently plan on the rotary engine running on Jet-A, which is available globally. We believe that new jet fuels from renewable sources would be available shortly after.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
We intend on teaming up with AIE of England to adapt their 650S with 120 HP for MS-1r to run on Jet-A.
Lastly, we plan to convert this engine to run on hydrogen, stored in solid state - which we are in the process of perfecting. This would be called the MySkyECO MS-1rH.
Of all combustion engines, the rotary (or Wankel) engine lends itself to run on hydrogen, leaving behind nothing but water vapor. Large turbine engines can also be converted to run clean on hydrogen with relatively modest effort.
We also intend to offer a way to generate Green Hydrogen where it is needed.
Hydrogen – Yes! But not like that:
*The above contains a video and image of the presently flying prototype. The product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
We are working with Plasma Kinetics of Scottsdale, Arizona. Plasma Kinetics has developed a way to produce, store, and distribute hydrogen in a renewable, safe, ecological, and cost-effective way.
Plasma Kinetics generates green hydrogen from renewable energy and stores it in a solid state in roll-off/roll-up canisters. Canisters can’t catch fire, let alone explode, and they are temperature stable up to 400⁰ C. The hydrogen is stored in light-activated film using laser beams for storing and releasing.
*Images are computer generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development.
THE Market
We are making large-scale breakthroughs with small airplanes
Even though there was a 50% reduction in domestic passenger traffic globally due to the pandemic in 2020 (source), the Global Airlines market size is still estimated to be worth $785.6 billion in 2022 (source). True, eco-friendly change on a scale this big could possibly take decades we don’t have, so our approach is to transform small airplanes into net zero flying machines in just a few years. While we are still in the development phase, we are already seeing great demand for our products.
*The above is a video of the presently flying prototype. The product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
We plan to have our aircrafts be incredibly useful and versatile for flight training, aerial observation, UAV, recreational activities, banner towing, and many other uses. We believe these planes will set themselves apart from the competition by boasting superior fuel-efficiency, sustainability, and modern technology.
our traction
The MySkyECO MS-1L is already taking flight
The moment we debuted the MySky MS-1, it began making waves. In fact, its first flight immediately caught the attention of the international aviation press. It was displayed at Airventure Oshkosh, the world-famous airshow the same year. Our MySky MS-1 has already proven its efficiency and legitimacy with over a thousand flights and more than four hundred flight hours. In our opinion, this success has laid the foundation for our five-step plan to come to fruition.
We have moved into a new hangar with more space for us to start the production of MySkyECO MS-1L as a certified aircraft. We are constantly working to develop breakthroughs in eco-friendly technology with companies such as Rotax, Plasma Kinetics, AIE, Verdego Aero, EPS and Emrax.

Do electric cars really do more damage to the environment than gas powered cars?
Claims that electric cars require an excessive amount of oil or coal energy to charge have appeared on social media. But they are largely incorrect or misleading. View this link: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coal-powered-electric-cars/
It takes 70 pounds of coal to produce the energy required to charge a 66 kWh electric car battery. Or about 8 gallons of oil – a tiny fraction of the 6 barrels claimed on one social media source.
So, how do electric vehicles and conventional gas cars compare on emissions over distance? In the US, electric cars produce on the average about 100 grams of CO2 per mile – using electricity from the grid.
That is 60% less than a gas-powered car with good gas mileage – like 30 mpg.
An electric car – even if charged from the average grid – is a big step forward for the environment. But typically, electric cars in the US are not charged using only energy generated from coal or oil. The US grid uses a variety of sources and oil and coal combined make up only about 20%.
Other sources include natural gas (less carbon-intensive) and even cleaner energy sources like nuclear power plants, solar and wind energy with the additional benefit of reduced air pollutants.
The benefit of an electric vehicle for the environment is convincing today and will even improve with the addition of more renewable energy sources to the electric grid in the US.
02.06.23
The Connection Between CO2 and Contrails
Actually, there is none. Although high-flying jet airplanes emit a large amount of it, the CO2 in the exhaust is not at all responsible for the white streaks. They are called contrails, which is short for condensation trail.
Contrails are clouds that form when water vapor condenses and freezes around small particles (aerosols) in aircraft exhaust at high altitudes.
Water vapor is a byproduct of all combustion processes. It is part of the exhaust that your car emits. Normally you don’t see it. In cold temperatures you might once in a while experience it.
So, while CO2 is certainly hurting the environment, it has nothing to do with contrails. They seem to have a negative influence on the climate as well. But getting rid of CO2 in the exhaust does not automatically mean that there will be no contrails.
But, although a turbine engine burning hydrogen emits no CO2 at all, there might still be some contrails. But we can expect there would be significantly less of the persistent ones. The small particles (aerosols) needed for condensation will be far less than when burning jet fuel.
02.03.23
Hydrogen and the Airline Industry
Towards the end of last year, Rolls-Royce successfully tested their first hydrogen powered jet engine. Read more about this here: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/rolls-royce-successfully-tests-hydrogen-powered-jet-engine-2022-11-28/
About the same time, American Airlines announced that they were making an equity investment in Universal Hydrogen: https://hydrogen.aero/
Earlier last year, in March, Delta Airlines and Airbus announced that they “will collaborate on industry-leading research to accelerate the development of a hydrogen-powered aircraft and the ecosystem it requires.”
This is only to mention just a few. There is almost no major player in the world of aviation who does not see that we must do something to make aviation sustainable.
This is a major trend in the industry – and we are proud to be a part of it.
02.01.23
When we all fly electric or hydrogen powered airplanes, where do we get the energy from?
MySkyECO MS-1e in front of our hangar
Sometimes we are told that the grid will not be able to handle the energy demand if electric cars are the norm. And now aircraft are going to add more stress to the system?
First, the assumption does not seem to be correct. The grid could easily outgrow the demand - which will not arise overnight.
On the other hand, decentralized power generation will probably play a much larger role in the future than we can imagine today. Just an example: This is a drone view of our hangar roof (In the Spruce Creek Fly-in community):
Drone Flight Photo: Stefan Buntenbach
Admittedly, this is quite a large hangar. But not out of the ordinary. A flight school might operate out of a hangar of easily this size.
Now let’s assume that we fill the roof area with photovoltaic panels. Like this:
Depending on the panel size, we could fit between 220 and 300 photovoltaic panels on our roof. Here in Florida, we could expect to generate 855 KW per day – on average. Enough to power MS-1e for 17h. The investment is not inexpensive. But it could be amortized in less than four years.
It is not true that ecologically responsible aviation has to be expensive. We will make the opposite a reality. If done right, totally emission free flying will be the most economical way to travel.
Admittedly, we are in Florida, and we have lots of sunshine here. But we are not No 1 in solar power potential in the US. 8 other states beat us. Including Wyoming and Oklahoma. Who would have thought?

“Bringing the Global Energy Industry to Discuss Paths to Net-Zero”
It seems to be a slogan used by one of the environmental organizations. But that is not where I found it. This ad popped up on my screen when I was researching something about petroleum:
It seems to be a slogan used by one of the environmental organizations. But that is not where I found it. This ad popped up on my screen when I was researching something about petroleum:
It is the motto of the 2023 24th World Petroleum Congress.
You would think that “Big Oil” would be our most fierce adversary. They are not. They are all working on solutions for the very same problem that we are trying to get a handle on. They might work on different ways to achieve the goal. And there are different ways to achieve it.
In our case, we are attacking one of the more difficult problems: net-zero aviation.
It is more difficult because on an airplane there is limited space. And weight is a major concern on airplanes. But to quote Frank Sinatra: “When you can make it there, you can make it anywhere!”
This was one of his greatest hits. He was talking about personal success in New York City. Still, the idea is the same: If we can make aviation net-zero, we will probably have a solution that can be brought to all industries.
This is a link to the 24th Petroleum Congress’ website:

About the Different “Colors” of Hydrogen
What do the different “colors” of hydrogen mean?
Hydrogen Molecule
Hydrogen is an invisible gas, it does not smell and - of course - is not colored in any way. But why is there so much talk about the "different colors of hydrogen"?
It is because not all hydrogen is created equal. Hydrogen can be produced in a number of different ways. The different colors are assigned to hydrogen depending on how sustainable its production process is.
After all, if you are using hydrogen to generate the energy for your car, plane, or to heat your house, there is not so much benefit to the environment if this hydrogen were to be generated using power from a power plant burning brown coal.
The color codes are not really universally standardized. In some countries the kind of hydrogen mentioned before would be called Black Hydrogen. For our purpose we will concentrate on Grey Hydrogen, Blue Hydrogen, and Green Hydrogen, the three most popular hydrogen designations used in the US.
Grey Hydrogen
Most of the hydrogen produced today is grey hydrogen. It is made from fossil fuels or natural gas. It is relatively inexpensive, but it is unfortunately the least sustainable form of hydrogen production.
Blue Hydrogen
The very same processes to create grey hydrogen are used to produce blue hydrogen. The significant difference is that CO2 is captured during the process and stored separately. No CO2 is allowed to escape into the environment. The process is called CSS – standing for “Carbon Capture and Storage”.
Green Hydrogen
Renewable sources such as wind and solar power are used to generate the energy to produce green hydrogen. The hydrogen and oxygen molecules are separated using electrolysis, a technique applying electrical energy to water. Utilizing renewable sources instead of fossil fuels is crucial for the production of green hydrogen. It creates a closed loop of sustainable energy in which harmful gases are never a byproduct of the process, making it the ideal alternative to fossil fuels.
In the future, if hydrogen is generated from renewable energy sources and water, it should also be the least expensive form of hydrogen

Thank you for your question, Nicholas!
We are watching Liquid Piston very closely. As of now, it looks like they will not be ready, with an engine in the power class we need, in time for our project. Presently, we are looking at the more traditional Wankel design. It never got much traction in the automobile world as it has some terrible drawbacks. These are: lack of efficiency, very bad emissions, and very hot exhaust gases. Interestingly, all of these go away once you use hydrogen as fuel. Laser ignition will improve efficiency and emissions even more. But Liquid Piston continues to be on our radar.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
