Discover, compare and contract aviation software in days, not 18 months. A vendor-neutral exchange built by pilots and aviation-IT operators.
01 · POSITIONING
Compare 50+ verified vendors across EFB, MRO, crew, OCC, network planning.
Transparent pricing, real implementation timelines, EASA / FAA approval status visible up-front. No more 14-month RFI/RFP cycles to land at the same five vendors.
List, claim, respond — without a launching customer to be heard.
Standardized RFP templates. Lead routing. Transparent ratings, no pay-to-rank. Small innovators stand next to the giants on the same shelf, judged on the same metrics.
Obstacle, performance, NOTAM data — bought once, reused across products.
Stripe-style neutrality for aviation software. Transparent pricing, fair ratings, no walled gardens. The infrastructure layer no individual vendor can build.
02 · DIAGNOSIS
Aviation IT is the last enterprise software vertical without a vendor-neutral exchange. The cost of that absence is measured in years of RFP cycles, five-figure response budgets, and a permanent moat for whoever the airline picked in 2018.

03 · PROCEDURE
STEP 01 · DISCOVER
EFB, MRO, crew, OCC, flight planning. Filter by aircraft type, certification, region, pricing band.
STEP 02 · MATCH
Real customer counts, real implementation weeks, real pricing bands. Your requirements, their match score — read in minutes, not weeks.
STEP 03 · RFP
Start from category templates, layer in your IT-security and compliance docs, send to the shortlist. Responses come back structured — not as 60-page PDF appendices.
STEP 04 · CONTRACT
SLA and liability clauses flagged where they matter. Sign in-platform. Pass the executed scope and timeline straight to the implementation team.
04 · DATA & SANDBOX
The exchange ships with a vendor-neutral reference catalog and a synthetic sandbox — built on public aviation data, licensed cleanly, free for developers, paid for production. Indie vendors can build and demo a working product in days, with no airline NDA, no pilot customer, no proprietary data exposure.
LAYER 4A · REFERENCE
Airports, aircraft type designators, airline codes, route standards — aggregated from ICAO, IATA, public registries and ourairports.com. One schema, one API, documented license trail per source.
LAYER 4B · SANDBOX
Plausible schedules, fleets, NOTAM streams — generated from operational patterns (hub-spoke, crew cycles, maintenance windows). Vendors test their product against a realistic load profile without ever touching airline-proprietary data.
LAYER 4C · EXCHANGE
Obstacle, performance, weather, NOTAM — bought once, reused across products under a transparent license engine. Goes live when listed vendors reach critical mass. The infrastructure layer no individual vendor can build.
ACCESS
Open reference API at no cost (attribution required). Developer sandbox from USD 200 / month. Vendor and enterprise sandbox tiers bundled with marketplace listings. Indicative pricing — final tiers fix at MVP.

05 · PLAYGROUND
The playground is the live face of the data foundation. Sign in, pick the domains you need, assemble a dataset of reference and synthetic operations, pull it through the API, and — phase 2 — build the demo in the browser. One workspace, no airline NDA, no pilot customer required.
Everything a pilot reaches for on the iPad.

08 · ADDENDUM
No. Rulaxy is a vendor-neutral exchange. Revenue comes from platform subscription, transaction-free; never by competing with the vendors we host. Stripe-style neutrality, not Apple-style commission.
Aircraft IT does directory and editorial. Rulaxy is built for the transaction — RFP automation, contract management, cross-vendor data exchange. Discovery is step one of four, not the whole product.
Those are vendor-owned app stores — they showcase the owner's products. Walled gardens cannot be vendor-neutral by structural definition. Rulaxy is neutral: every vendor lists on equal footing, airlines see honest comparison.
They sell real-time and historical flight intelligence at enterprise scale — that's a different product. Rulaxy ships consolidated public reference data plus a synthetic vendor sandbox. We don't compete on real-time coverage; we make it trivial for a vendor to build and demo against realistic operations without an airline contract.
No. Synthetic means generated from statistical operational patterns (hub-spoke profiles, crew duty cycles, maintenance windows), not derived from real flights. Anonymized aviation data is reverse-engineerable — tail sign plus route plus time is identifying. We don't go there.
MVP target Q4 2026. Open reference API earlier — phase 0, alongside this landing page. Early-access cohort gets first look in Q3 2026.
It's a landing page on top of a deep concept document, market analysis, business plan and risk register. Domain secured (rulaxy.com), founders identified, compliance pathway mapped. We are transparent: concept stage, not pre-revenue stage. The platform exists in spec, not in production.
Rulaxy is a product of RoolCraft SA, a Swiss aviation services group based in Aubonne, Vaud (UID CHE-320.528.458, founded 2018). Two sister products run under the same roof: AirComply ships regulatory data as JSON (SAF mandates, CORSIA, ReFuelEU) to operators like SITA. RoolCon is the aviation-advisory practice. The three products share domain expertise and a clean Swiss legal seat; each has its own go-to-market and brand.
