Medical payload delivery
Vertex will carry medical kits and emergency equipment when roads are too slow, blocked, or difficult to reach.
Emergency-response aircraft
Runway-independent aircraft for emergency response.
Pulse One builds aircraft for emergency response and field logistics. Vertex is our first hybrid-VTOL aircraft.

Pulse One aircraft
Built for places where roads are not enough.
We are building Vertex to carry supplies and equipment, give response teams another view of the scene, and operate without a runway.
◇
Emergency logistics
Vertical takeoff will let crews launch from small sites without waiting for a runway or specialized airport support.
◇
Scene awareness
Swappable cameras and sensors will give fire, rescue, and disaster-response teams another view of the scene.
◇
Runway-independent operation
Vertex will take off vertically, fly efficiently on its wings, and land vertically near the team using it.
Current development
Current work on Vertex.
We are updating the airframe, building test equipment, and preparing the aircraft for full-system ground testing.
01
Platform modernization
We are updating the airframe around the propulsion, avionics, power, and structural hardware selected for the next build.
02
Instrumented testing
We are building repeatable test setups for propulsion, structures, power, and flight-control hardware.
03
Integrated validation
After subsystem testing, we will move into full-aircraft ground tests, controlled flight tests, and operator feedback.
