Two 911 missions saw flight-trained paramedic Quinn Reece pilot a Pivotal eVTOL directly to patients, with one aircraft arriving about 20 minutes before the responding ground ambulance. Reece, the sole advanced life support (ALS) provider aboard, carried a cardiac monitor, airway equipment, and a response bag, allowing assessment and treatment to begin at the scene

A new category of societally beneficial work has opened up for adrenaline junkies who don't find EMS or flying an Aircraft enough of a thrill alone, this is for people who want to hurtle themselves through the sky so they can get to someone in desperate need of help 20 minutes before an ambulance can and make use of that precious time to increase the chance someone will live. This is some Batman level shit except if Batman was more focused on actually saving lives. Badass!

Looking at Pivotal's website for the EMS eVTOL, it's interesting to see how the vehicle and how smoothly it transition from take off/landing to flying. Amazing engineering.

It's like seeing a real life Orca fighters from Tiberian Sun game or the Hornet from Halo. I mean it's different by a lot but still cool to see how they tackle it.

The even cooler part is these are an answer with what to do with excess unused renewable energy supply!
