+VIDEO The Opener Blackfly is no longer. It’s now the Pivotal Helix and the weird single-seat all-electric flying thing has gone on sale in the US at a base price of $190,000.

Customers can place orders for delivery in the US on Pivotal’s website. First customer shipments begin on June 10, 2024.

The Helix can be flown in the US without a pilot’s licence as it’s the FAA Part 103 (Ultralight) category.

However, training is required, said Pivotal. “All Helix pilots must successfully complete comprehensive initial and periodic recurrent flight training to support safe operations in all situations.”
