About HayesX

HayesX makes the HayesX-250, a single-seat electric personal aircraft. The pilot companion app is an app designed for HayesX-250 pilots: preflight, logbook and manuals in one place.

What I did

  • Designed the app’s screens and flows.
  • Built it as a progressive web app with Next.js, so it runs in the browser and can be added to a phone’s home screen.
  • Managed the project from outline to a clickable version.

What’s inside

  • A preflight checklist with the aircraft’s airworthiness and maintenance status up front
  • A digital logbook that tracks flights and total hours
  • Manuals in one place
  • Messages, an account section and a one-tap Emergency button
