eVTOL aircraft for personal, public safety and defense use, based in San Francisco
About Pivotal
Pivotal is an aircraft company that builds electric aircraft for recreation, mobility, emergency response and defense. Its website describes its work as advanced air mobility, which covers new kinds of flight over short distances. Its main aircraft is called the Helix. The site does not give a street address, so no city is listed here.
The Helix is one aircraft platform for three markets: personal use, public safety and defense. The site says the aircraft is all electric and needs no runway. It also says the flight controls are simplified, so new pilots can focus on the flight. The company says a first flight should feel familiar after good preparation.
The company says it has flown more than 10,000 flights at more than 100 locations. The home page lists more than 50 Pivotal certified pilots. Several pilot stories on the site describe the aircraft as easy to fly and fun to use.
The home page lists media coverage. It includes an Axios article from August 2026 about a flying medic concept, a Wall Street Journal article from October 2025 and a Fox News segment from November 2025. The site also has pages for careers, newsroom and events.
The about page names Mike Ross as interim chief executive and a board member. Jon Campagna is the chief finance officer. Soummya Datta is vice president and chief of engineering. The site also has a reservation form for the Helix.
The footer lists government identifiers, including a CAGE code, a DUNS number, a UEI number and a NAICS code of 336411. It also links to a supplier page, a code of conduct and a quality statement. The site says Pivotal trainers teach all of the Helix knowledge that pilots in training need. The company also describes the sky as a bridge, not a barrier.
