And I found a couple of the more expensive things at the show. I did a wrap for World News Now and feature it and my favorite them here!
I think the most unique gadget at the show was (fanfare) The Pivotal Helix. It’s said to be the 1st production ultra-light all electric aircraft in the US. This single-seat personal aircraft requires no Pilot License, but training Is Required. It has a range of 20 miles and daytime flying only. Vertical takeoff & landing. Price starts at $190,000, delivery this June. The Helix is only available in the United States. The Helix is manufactured in Palo Alto, California. The Helix complies with FAA Part 103 (Ultralight) category in the United States. The FAA requires Ultralight aircraft to fly over non-congested areas only and away from airports. Under this regulation, no pilot license is required. All Helix pilots must successfully complete comprehensive initial and periodic recurrent flight training to support safe operations in all situations. Customers will select their training dates and receive delivery timing once Pivotal receives the aircraft deposit.
