Jump Aero’s JA1 ‘Pulse’ eVTOL, which is being partially funded by the US Air Force, has received its first commercial order from Falck Ambulance Services. This electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft will assist medical professionals at the scene of rural emergencies as quickly as possible with lifesaving equipment.
The ‘Pulse’ is capable of achieving dash speeds of 250 knots (288 mph), making it the fastest form of sustainable personal transportation within the critical 8-minute emergency response window. Not just a remotely controlled drone, the JA1 ‘Pulse’ can fly one trained professional as well as emergency equipment to dangerous landing zones in rural areas. The company has also been awarded $3.6 million in contracts from the U.S. Air Force to accelerate the company’s technology development.

Jump Aero’s aircraft concept and development strategy focusing on rapid emergency response has potential for defense-related use-cases and is complementary to the other eVTOL programs that the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program has engaged with to date. We look forward to working with Jump Aero to help mature their dual-use technology,” said Lt Col John Tekell, Agility Prime Program lead.
