About Jessica Cox

Born without arms due to a rare condition, Jessica Cox has defied expectations to become the world’s first licensed armless pilot and the first armless black belt in the American Taekwondo Association.

Since the age of 14, Jessica has chosen to live without prosthetic arms, mastering daily tasks using her feet—including driving, typing, and flying an aircraft. Her aviation journey began in 2004 with Wright Flight, and in 2008 she earned her pilot’s certificate through an Able Flight scholarship.

Jessica flies a 1940s ERCO 415-C Ercoupe, an aircraft uniquely designed without rudder pedals, allowing her to control the plane entirely with her feet. She is also the author of Disarm Your Limits, an inspiring book about perseverance, resilience, and possibility.

We’re thrilled to welcome Jessica Cox and share her extraordinary story.
