Emergency services provider Falck has agreed to purchase a single JA1 Pulse eVTOL aircraft from California-based Jump Aero. This is the first commercial order for the JA1, which is designed to carry a pilot-medic to the site of a medical emergency as quickly as possible to render lifesaving aid. The announcement came Thursday during the public unveiling of the aircraft at the Revolution.Aero conference in San Francisco. At the event, Jump Aero revealed new details about the configuration and performance of the JA1.
A single-pilot eVTOL, the JA1 is a tail-sitting aircraft with two wings and eight non-articulating electric propulsion units mounted above the pilot’s head height “for operational safety,” according to Jump Aero. A ballistic parachute provides backup safety, but Jump claims the design has “no catastrophic single-point failures.” Simplified flight controls will help pilots fly the aircraft without high levels of skill or training.
