Pivotal

We design, develop, and manufacture light electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. We were founded in 2016 and focus on eVTOL, Advanced Air Mobility, Electric Aviation, and Personal Air Mobility.

Our products include our initial aircraft, the BlackFly, and our first commercially available eVTOL, the Helix. The Helix is for personal recreational use, making flight accessible to more people. We also see future applications in public safety and defense, like EMS, special operations, rescue, and logistics.

The Helix features all-electric propulsion, no-runway operation, and simplified flight controls. It’s a tilt aircraft that rotates on its base for vertical takeoff and landing, then tilts for horizontal cruise. Pilots operate in an enclosed flight deck. We also provide training and certification for our pilots.

We’ve conducted over 8,000 flights in more than 100 locations, with over 50 of our pilots certified.

Our mission is to expand aviation through simplified flight and revolutionize it with eVTOL innovation. We operate based on six core values:

• Safety Above All: We commit to safety as if a loved one is on board.
• Customer Focus: We prioritize the voice of the customer.
• Work Better Together: We embrace collective strengths for shared success.
• Be the Pilot: We focus on important tasks and achieve results.
• Embrace the Unknown: We create the future for our customers.
• Respect for People: We look out for one another and act with care and integrity.

We employ between 51 and 200 people. Our culture values creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement in aircraft design. Our employees are described as “dreamers and doers,” driven by innovation, and benefit from mentorship by industry veterans.
