Pivotal

Recently, we had two amazing opportunities to fly our aircraft over the English Renaissance gardens of Filoli – a Bay Area jewel. The exclusive events also allowed us to entertain guests with VR simulator experiences, providing a glimpse of just how awesome eVTOL flying can be.

Pivotal’s Head of Engineering Soummya Datta and Manager of Guidance, Navigation & Controls Vivek Chugh will appear at The eVTOL Show – the USA’s premier technical gathering of eVTOL industry leaders, innovators, and engineers. Soummya and Vivek will discuss Innovations in Advanced Air Mobility: The Control Law Design Process and Future Trends to Tackle Range Challenges.

Say hello to Michelle Villanueva, one of our original Pivotal pilots. Always up for excitement and adventure – she’s an experienced rock climber and certified free diver – Michelle felt right at home learning to fly in a Pivotal aircraft. “Training was actually really comfortable, and I felt VERY well prepared to fly after training. And we had a lot of fun – there’s a lot of joy in training. Because if you don’t have that, then what’s the point?” Watch the video to learn more about Michelle and her experience of becoming a Pivotal pilot.
