When a person’s life is at stake, every minute counts. That’s the premise behind Carl Dietrich’s motivation to enter into the electric-propulsion-aircraft sphere, with a vehicle that proposes to cut emergency response time in half. Dietrich, co-founder of Terrafugia, has partnered with co-founder Anna Dietrich, of the Community Air Mobility Initiative, and Jeff Myjak, of Still Water Design to launch Jump Aero, a start-up company focused on this special niche in aviation.
