India’s Dragale has shared on Linkedin an early concept visual of its DX-1 AyuRatha eVTOL Air Ambulance, designed to move patients directly from hospital rooftop to hospital rooftop, bypassing ground congestion and delays.
According to the company’s website.
“Writing for a “Medical-First” niche gives Dragale a unique regulatory lever. The DGCA may fast-track certification for eVTOL ambulances due to their high public health utility and “mission-critical” nature….Unlike passenger taxis, the AyuRatha must certify its onboard medical equipment (ventilators, monitors) for electromagnetic compatibility with the aircraft’s avionics….Regulatory approval for EMS flight requires meeting specific vibration dampening thresholds to protect patients with spinal or traumatic injuries during high-speed transit.”
“The Indian government is committed to starting commercial air taxi and ambulance trials by 2026 in hubs like Delhi and Mumbai. For regional players in the Jaipur-Delhi corridor, the window to secure initial Letters of Intent (LOIs) and start the 18-month certification clock is closing fast.”
