    PULSE P19 enters flight test

    The optionally piloted counter-UAS aircraft was unveiled 10 June 2026 and has not flown. Aviation News, covering the ILA debut, reported that Quantum aims to start official flight testing by summer 2027. The product page itself does not post a first-flight date. A first flight would show whether a company built on small eVTOL ISR drones can field a 4-tonne multi-role aircraft.
