Pivotal Ultralight eVTOL for EMS
Pivotal announced a proof-of-concept project with Hyde County, North Carolina, and Code Blue Resources to establish a scalable emergency medical response model using ultralight, single-seat eVTOL aircraft.

Pivotal is partnering with a North Carolina healthcare agency to test whether ultralight eVTOL aircraft such as its single-seat Helix model could accelerate response times for emergency medical services in rural areas. 

The California-based aircraft developer says it has launched a proof-of-concept project with Hyde County Emergency Services (HCES) and Code Blue Resources, a company that provides emergency medical training and emergency response consulting services, to evaluate the use of single-seat eVTOL aircraft as a rapid-response platform for paramedics.
