Pivotal develops and manufactures light electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft from its base in Palo Alto, California. The company's technical work spans electric propulsion, carbon fiber composites, advanced autonomy systems, and tilt-aircraft architecture. Its operational track record includes over 9,000 completed flights across more than 100 locations, with an AS9100D certification in place.
The company's first product, BlackFly, was the first light eVTOL to enter the consumer market. Its current production aircraft, Helix, incorporates triple redundant flight controls, radar-guided autoland, and a ballistic parachute system, with a starting price of $190,000. Pivotal's aircraft serve consumer, public safety, defense, and personal aviation verticals.
