The aircraft can carry a 330 pound payload and can reach any location inside that window as far as 31 miles away. The aircraft is powered by independent – but linkable – 11 kWh batteries, and can land on surfaces that have 10-degree slopes or lower, which includes most roads and driveways.
The primary goal is to provide the largest coverage radius within the critical 8-minute emergency response window.The JA1 Pulse can fly one trained professional plus emergency equipment to unimproved landing zones in rural areas.The aircraft can be deployed in less than 60 seconds, and should arrive at any location within 50 km in less than 8 minutes.
