Accelerating successful outcomes for critical public safety missions and calls for service with the world's first electric powered lift aircraft

Public Safety Missions

Emergency Medical Services
Enabling rapid aerial response to medical emergencies, significantly reducing time to care. Quickly access remote or congested areas where ground vehicles are delayed.

Logistics Resupply
Resupply is faster, safer, and more reliable when roads are blocked or inaccessible. Designed for rapid turnaround, keeping operations moving during natural disasters or tactical missions.

Homeland Security and Border Protection
Provide agents with fast, low-altitude access to difficult terrain and complex border zones. The Helix improves surveillance, enables rapid response, and supports life-saving interventions.

Search and Rescue
Reach people in distress where traditional vehicles cannot—over water, debris, or rugged terrain. Helix agility and response time support urgent search and rescue efforts, saving lives.
