Counties, EMS agencies, fire departments, and sheriffs: Akute membership gives you a lawful, proven path from “we're curious” to “we're flying” — without hiring an aviation department.
The Hyde County proof of concept ran April 15 to August 1, 2026... two live 911 responses, more than 300 training sorties, all under authority the county declared for itself. The whitepaper lays out how the model works and what it takes to run it where you are. Join as a member to read it.
No spam, no sharing your details. Questions first? hello@akute.org
Five levels, one path — each step takes your agency closer to an operational program of its own.
Follow the movement. Member news, program updates, and the Akute white paper — the full story of public aircraft operations and where they're going.
Join the rooms where this is being figured out — member conferences, webcasts, and working sessions with the agencies already flying.
Akute works as your Aviation Program Manager: declaring your PAO, building your safety case, and standing up your program — soup to nuts.
Your county, modeled: localized maps, landing zones, coverage analysis, and a digital twin of your response area — live in Akute OS.
Access to the member program shaping purpose-built EMS aircraft — so the next generation of public aircraft is designed around your mission.
One conversation, operator to operator, about where your agency is today and which level fits. No commitment — just a clear picture of your path to flight.
