The drone delivery company will no longer be required to have a pilot or visual observer watch its aircraft in the sky.

The manufacturer signed a letter of intent with Indian regional air operator JetSetGo for the purchase of up to 100 aircraft, valued at up to $500 million.

Pivotal’s Helix is an electric vertical takeoff and landing design that qualifies as a Part 103 ultralight built for recreational flyers.

The automaker’s Supernal subsidiary revealed the SA-2, a V-tail eVTOL design built for one pilot plus four passengers to fly 25 to 40 sm urban air taxi routes.

The eVTOL manufacturer said the new infrastructure will add John Wayne Airport to its SoCal network, which also includes service in Los Angeles.
