Definitely needs a longer flight time to be feasible
I wish gotta be at least an hour
True but also, being able to drive in a straight line makes everywhere much faster to get to.
@@seanscrivens9554 Just go on Google earth to get your direct flight distance. Mine went from 19 miles down to 13.5 miles. Average 60 mph that would only be a 13.5 minute flight.
true, but it also cut commute time by over 80%. In 10 years the batteries will be more than powerful enough to make this feasible. 92k is fairly cheap for such an early model as well.
and theft prevention
This is an awesome aircraft. I was a test pilot for Robinson Helicopter company for 30 years and my biggest worry/fear for pilots with this concept is wire strikes. Everything I've seen is low level which is giving the impression that is how it should be flown which it is not. Low level is safe in very familiar terrain but that's about it.
Good point, and weather?
With no autorotation properties you are relying on redundancy of motors and electronics. It will be viable someday but there will be deaths along the way.
My biggest fear is mission pressure. One very serious problem in aviation is pilots taking risks they shouldn't because of a desire to "get there." An owner is going to say to themselves "I've got an appointment, the weather isn't *that* bad, I'll fly anyway" and they end up dead. Even at low level running into the ground is going to do damage.
It's hard to run drones into anything because they are covered with sensors. I'm sure these have the same sensors capabilities.
I fly ultralites for a long time. Also earned about 20 hours in a Cessna 150. I would love nothing more than to flh one of these drones, but alas, I am too poor now to realize that dream. Also, the 20 min flight time is a big drawback even for commuting. Still, I can dream.
I would like safety rings around the blades. Seems really dangerous without them.
And a safety parachute
@@joshelguapo5563 parachute wont open at that height and be effective
And an ejection seat. This is a death trap.
Yeah, I came here to basically say there aren’t any failsafes, but y’all got it right on the head. Dude like one strong gust of wind And you’re done. And only 20 min flight time? Oh nooooo
it actually does have a safety parachute @@joshelguapo5563
This is an ultralight aircraft. Therefore, you can only fly it to work if you do not fly in any Class A, B, C, or D airspace (leaving only Class E and G airspace) and you don't fly it over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons.
They also have to build it from a kit or from scratch.
killjoy :-). s'okay. I have a large private estate to kill myself on (miaoww). Ok, OK, then you can all schadenfreude me to death, forgive the pun!
Like, say any connected hwys!
Any body buying this will not follow those rules and will likely many will do so high before they leave the ground. So say goodbye to your privacy. I already have neighbors flying drones over me.
The FAA’s congested area is kind of a grey area. You also can fly into any airspace like D, C, or B if you get prior permission. I fly Paramotors out of class D with ATC permission. We have an LOA.
I'm going to start investing in specialty headstones with pictures of these on it.
Costco will start selling them at 1/10th the price!
@@jjman533 Costco is smarter than that. Alibaba, Temu, Amazon and Walmart however......
Consider this when the train was first proposed as a main transportation system. The rumours where that when you go through a tunnel at a certain speed the breath would be sucked from your lungs and you will die. And people thought that engineers were crazy for saying a highly flammable liquid could be used for transportation
Well in those times falling from a great height or running in to other objects at even horse speeds was well documented as a great risk whereas high speeds through tunnels were not. I have not heard of the flammable liquid idea so you may have a point there. The contents of Lithium batteries, if this powers the device, seem to be the most flammable liquid yet enclosing all of its energy and not requiring a source of oxygen to burn. The jury is out if this could be a flammable liquid too far but the climate panic has put any coherent reasoned debate out to pasture. My memory of motor bike commuting makes me think the trip to work in an open cockpit in bad weather may be a rather wet, miserable and cold experience at times.
It is certainly in fine weather an exciting new way to die for those possessing the funds so good luck to anyone wanting one of these. Money does open up an impressive panoply of additional exciting but life shortening activities to indulge in for for sure. This looks a step far beyond a helicopter ride with a rigourously trained pilot which alone seems to reap its fair share of the great and good. Using it to go to work, especially with even hundreds of them wizzing about in all directions, seems a good idea as death in service is often the best result in the long run for one's relatives and dependents.
@@michaeld5888 if everyone could fly road tax would not exist I'd love to have a good debate about this one day blessings
Yeah see the thing is we have over a century of experience with motor vehicles since that time so we don't need to rely on speculation. The people with concerns about this idea include actual pilots, mechanics, and engineers working in the field.
A helicopter exists thats better than this in every way. It has been PROVEN that even in 2 dimensions with brakes millions of peopledie ecah year from car crashes. Now imagine it in the air. This is not some weird speculation about air beig sucked out or flammable gas, this is LOGIC.
@@wiegraf9009The main concern is how much everything will suck for everyone if these become popular. Reality is already a hellscape due to cars, so I can't wait for things to suck exponentially more in the near future.
What a great way to go screaming into power lines!!!
Kinda like how cars are a great way to run into power poles?
So seek of you
Screaming is right, notice the sound was turned off in all the video. This thing can probably be heard miles away.
There is also flying in the night, in the snow, in cold, in the rain.
My city has almost all of its lines underground. Only the longhaul stuff is above ground.
There is a version of this for Microsoft Flight Simulator and it’s incredibly fun! I love sightseeing in large cities with it, flying between buildings and under bridges. Of course you couldn’t do this in real life but I’d definitely fly one for real.
Better than the real thing honestly
is fake look fake best part = 03:51always filming small pieces, where have I seen this before “...NASholes I call them.” George Carlin on NASA.
I have it! By got friends! Fun!
Tintin the reporter.
How I live this character.
3 seconds from death at any moment.... great invention, fellas! Flying that low, if anything goes wrong for a microsecond, it's over. It's like base jumping for pilots.
If its not at least triple redundant, its a death trap.
That depends on how fast and how high you fly it. @@RS-ls7mm
This is the same energy as how you’re 3 seconds away from a fatal car accident if you don’t pay attention to your surroundings.
@Center9_ WRONG! How many people do you know that have never been in a car accident? Probably not too many. People drive cars and wreck cars everyday only a tiny percentage die from it. Base jumping is safer than this machine. This is below nap of the earth that helicopters rarely ever fly at. But hey, if you think it's safe, buy one...... just make sure your life insurance is up to date.
@@uploderpilot
You say that yet car accidents are still one of the leading causes of death, that tiny percentage doesn’t matter in that regard (in the US at least). I want to ask you a question, how do you think that safety isn’t going to be this company’s CEO main concern? He has already stated the he wants people with a pilots license and/or have flying experience to be the first ones to fly before they proceed to sell the vehicle and even then he’s still going to have new owners take a training course before they’re allowed to fly. Not only that it’s practically required of him to take the recommended safety precautions with this personal vehicle it’s not like he can just sell the vehicle without consequence. If anything it’s more likely human error will be the reason why this vehicle will be unsafe for someone just like how human error is the cause for the vast majority of the car accidents that take place.
I can see how this can go VERY WRONG VERY QUICKLY with all those tree branches and powerlines. Which is why using those proximity sensors like the ones found in the DJI drone is a must. I don't trust any human on this thing (me included)
The Jetson has them.
Too bad for you and everyone isn’t around alot of trees
tudo pode dar errado meso em hlelicpteos avios smpre avera acidadetes acontece nao te m jeito e vida limitada q temos
So do like I do and fly your ultralight in the desert or at the beach or at the dunes. You don't have to worry about branches or power lines.
"don't need a license to fly it"
sounds like a recipe for disaster
seriously, I get that trying to market it and make it easily accessible for those wanting to buy...but to market it to the common man they NEED to be licensed. Honestly even then a flying vehicle as a day-to-day option is...probably never going to be a good idea no matter how cool it would better, simply because the average number of idoits on the road with four wheels is way too high to want them being stupid while airborne.
I wouldn't worry about that aspect of things. Laws are reactive by nature.
don't need a licence for a dog either, but most people have no idea how to behave/treat the domestic version of a wolf in their home (I read four dog books, and a book on wolves before I rescued my dog...just sayin').
You have never heard of ultralights? A license has never been required.
@@benjaminbierley2074they have never made ultralights get licensed. This is nothing new.
It would've been nice to HEAR how the Jetson sounded. Drones and helicopters are notoriously loud and with all the music and voiceovers masking the sound except for all of two seconds, we never heard how it sounds if you're riding in one or if you're on the ground as one passes by.
I get it, the music makes it sound peppier but it would've nice to have that audio info--unless that video came from the company with no audio or with the musical accompaniment already added in.
Why do you think the company hasn’t released video with sound. The thing is LOUD!!
It sounds like 8 lawn mowers all singing Nickelback.
Great question.
This is why Joby Aviation has made such a big deal about the noise of their aircraft, and published lots of videos showing how quiet it is
It sounds like 8 giant blenders. Margaritas anyone?
Love the fact you are a Tintin fan!
Yeah, I noticed that too. I grew up with those.
Very cool. More of these!
Love to see that. But my concerns are about safety and security.
Will the rotors being shielded to not hurt anyone or simply to prevent getting stuck on a Powerline? And as someone that prefer less traffic noise, I wonder how much decibel it produces.
Unlike a helicopter the rotors can be stopped almost instantly. There may be safeguards and interlocks. Perhaps sensors. I know there are collision avoidance sensors. I’d be tempted to program the rotors to do a test to see if they were free.
It's SO loud that they couldn't post the sound in the video 😂
I saw a video posted of this once with sound and it is incredibly loud.
A drone like this has a spherical object detection system. Cheap flying drones that cost $1,000 have these in place.
I would fly it everywhere I could.
We'll put traffic lights everywhere too
For 20 minutes.
I fully intend to!!! Finally, somebody with a sense of fun! Come OOOOON all, this is like, the superrrrrr-rest toy known to mankind!
Hahah - touche@@wrongthinker350
Yes, I would fly one to work, and after I take delivery of my Jetson in 2023, I'll tell you all about it and be happy to share videos. Extremely excited. This company nailed it with the JetsonOne. Can't wait to get it. Coolest toy on the market.
congrats on ur lost 22k
@@alpha-cf2oi bah Humbug
maravilhoso nos mostre sim por favor
Are you still alive?
@@chadsmith9218 Yeah I was curious if there was an update. If it weren't for the flight time I would say this was a slam dunk product. However, 20 minutes is really short. Especially if you are 6 foot and 170 pounds. I imagine the range is affected.
Ive had dreams of this idea for my entire life.
Would love to own one of the Jetson One versions, the only two things I would like to see listed as options are increased range and some type of protection for the pilot from the elements i.e. modified windscreen.
Put a gasoline engine in it and we could fly longer.
100k for 20min flight time? No chance…
Just go on diet to create some extra space for Tesla battery pack(s).
its limited to 100kmph. for 20 minutes. Maximum of 33km or 20 miles.
@@Redmist.65 Very, VERY, VERY !!! useless indeed.
20 minutes on the air is like just a couple km less especially with that speed, than what 20 minutes on a land vehicle of the same price or less, like bruh they should start inventing a better engine not a new mode of transportation, even an older ultra light plane can fly longer and those things cost from less than 10grand and up, not to mention they are also faster
@@traphimawari7760 You're joking right? Drive across London at 8am on a Monday for 20 minutes and see how far you would get!
Yes I.d fly to work in this, I would want blade protection on the rotors, seems a logical addition in case you get too close to any stationary objects
It's not needed. Cheap drones that cost $1,000 have object detection in place. This would too I'm certain.
@@sequencepropertyinspectionsYou might still want them in case something hits the propellers
@@sequencepropertyinspectionsyou’re talking about a huge difference in weight and momentum. Any engineer can tell you that’s the wrong approach here.
@@alekvillarreal3470 That's a good argument. No one wants a bird to bring one of these guys down.
@@I_SuperHiro_I Speak of the devil, I am an engineer. I'm not sure how your comment ties into with what I've mentioned though. Any more info to assist?
I love this... Its an innovative way of commuting. I will definitely fly this to work.
Someone should invent helicopters!
What is innovative about this? Small flying machines have been a thing for a long time. The problem is that people aren't allowed to just fly around willy-nilly. And a thing with such a short reach will never get permission to fly around anywhere close to human settlements.
@@Volkbrecht remarkably a quick way to move from point A to B
So long as the flight time is 3 minutes or less...
This is amazing.
Amazing that we are advanced enough to architect something like this but still not advanced enough to drive cars properly
The architects have no problems driving cars... Lol! It's the rest you gotta worry about... Besides, the ones you have to worry about will never afford one! And the ones that can probably shouldn't be around with so much disposable income... 😜
@@NipplepotamusWhat? Rich drivers in expensive cars are sometimes the worst.
Maybe next time make the annoying music louder?
I would love to have one. Would make my commute SO much easier. I work at an airport so I could land right next to the hangar and charge it there. Only problem is I don’t see any radios so that’s probably not going to happen 😢. If I had the money, this would definitely be my everyday commuter.
As a helicopter rotor blade and rotor shaft manufacturer, I would definitely purchase one of these for the commute to work.
There's gona be improvements folks, calm down. I love the concept. Well done and bring it on .
"Calm down"? Who's getting excited. Mildly amused at most.
Hallelujah! finally. Somebody with a sense of adventure.
Do all the improvements and you end upwith a helicopter
I ordered one and can’t wait to fly it. The sound is less than a leaf blower, more of a buzz than a roar. Safety is of course an issue, but if I’m going to die, I’d rather drop out of the sky than get hit by a drunk driver on I-95. I do believe the rotors should have birdcages aroud them if possible to protect against small bird strikes or such. As with ALL flight, situational awareness is key for the pilot - know your route, power lines and other objects that might interfere with your plan. EV motors have become ultra-reliable, so if they get the physics and quality control right, these should be safe and awesome in every way!
ALso, the Jetson has proximity sensor tech.
Did you get one?
Awesome. I 95 is terrible. I used to commute from Bethany to Greenwich CT.
I crashed mine into the McDonald’s arches. They don’t do fly byes yet!
Three minutes of fun doesn't take you very far.
I already preordered one
It's an interesting new ultralight for early adopters. I see it as a deceptively dangerous vehicle due to a lack of a shock absorbing airframe or landing skids (this becomes quite important in case of a crash landing). At least the gauntlet has been thrown down now and competition for customers can begin among what will surely be other companies in this space.
Of course I would. I've been waiting all my life for "The Future" to happen... Ie.. robots, monorails, flying cars, flat screens, space travel... Everything commonplace in The Jetsons Circa 2062... This is just one piece closer towards that dream!
topp show eu tanbem
Props at head-level, such an innovative idea! ;)
Especially considering that three other similar vehicle have thrown blades. In fact, Joby lost their prototype to a lost blade. An issue to not be ignored.
Amazing!
I would definitely use it to go to work. Dream!
Now the ONLY technological hurdle remains the range (battery tech).
@Nick Gillespie you can get other batteries and replace them while the others charging
@@wildlifewarrior2670mid flight??? 😂😂😂
A word or two about management of air traffic flows would have been appreciated.
I know it would add weight but I'd like to see some shielding around those rotors. If someone got too close, if you inadvertently fly into something or in case a blade snaps off, I'd be worried about what would happen. Maybe a bumper-bar forward and aft as well. But it looks like a promising start. Hopefully the battery tech will substantially improve soon.
There have been rumors about a new battery technolgy that has been used in top secret united states military, apparently the battery uses some strange carbon molecule with long chains and an even stranger fluid mechanics contraption. Ive heard it can traverse 3500 kilometers and has full vtol capacity while weighing at around 1 ton. It also uses some strange electriomechanical system to have milisecond adjustments to move wile in the air. I think this future aircraft is caled a "helicopter"???. Idk man technology advances so fast. Maybe in the distant future you can ride around in these strange aircraft
What about the crash course. How safe is it does it have a back up chute in case the propellers go out
What good is a parachute going to do at that height? It would deploy and you'd already have crashed.
I want One!
Awesome!
My son actually worked on a similar project as a student of aeronautical engineering at RPI in Troy , NY …2017
20 minute battery life isn't long enough.
Get ready for a rain of aircraft parts.
It’ll be no different than when cars were first introduced
@Gil more of a duh moment. Not going to stope it from happening. We will figure out how to make it safer.
There's already tons of ultralights in the air and none of them fall apart in the air so what are these raining Parts you're talking about
Yeah, this is great except for all of the death and dismemberment.
@@wildlifewarrior2670 They have wings. I think the comment was about the whole thing falling out of the air since there is zero backup.
Get from from canton to Decatur or downtown atlanta..few minutes in rush hour..priceless, charge it at work.
Love it! I want one!
This would be phenomenal for 1st responders
AKA *last responders.
A proper medical helicopter is a far more effective tool
The first responder would soon need a first responder
This is wonderful… one day hopefully this could be the norm
o interessante eq o inicio de algo difernte a ser desenvolvido e eu fico feliz de poder ver isso acontecer
In style, but with the NOISE😮
Ok, first of all they claim 20 minutes flight time. Another channel on YT says it does only 3 minutes. That said. I think it’s awesome that somebody actually made this. It’s still in its infancy and just give it some time to mature and battery get better all the time.
they should combine propellers, bird wings, solar panels
The trouble with this dream of commuting in a drone is that once you move everybody from the freeways into the air, all the traffic you dreaded on the ground is now up there with you. So you have the same problem just at a different altitude.
Exactly. We also have tunnels and multi-level freeways so we already have a way to expand roadways vertically. The only difference is that if you get in a wreck in a flying vehicle, you most likely die while also having a very good chance at hitting multiple vehicles on your way down. Flying cars will never be a thing.
@@mattc16 Good comments. With those in mind, wouldn't it be nice though to see 25% less vehicles on the road (because they are in the air now)? I live in a huge city where certain times of the day just suck to drive.
@@sequencepropertyinspections I understand what you’re saying. However, the same issues that occur on the ground in the big city will still occur in the air. There will be designated lanes and so forth just as there is on the ground. The only argument for it is the speed at which you could add additional lanes above the lanes below, but one of the problems with adding lanes and such is waiting on government approval. In the end, the only thing you’re changing positively is the removal of having to build the infrastructure, but the negatives far outweigh that.
1. Wrecks will almost always result in death
2. Vehicle problems will almost always result in death. Something as simple as your battery dying
3. We will start to kill off all flying animals
4. The amount of fuel used and energy you need to stay lifted in the air will be much bigger than a vehicle on the ground. Think of being stuck in traffic or stopping at a light. Your flying vehicle will be spending almost as much fuel and energy being idle than it would moving in a direction.
That's why you fly at different altitudes. You could have radar to detect everything around you. I think it's definitely practical.
Not necessarily. Have you seen the Lift Aircraft Hexa? Look it up. They set geographical limits up on the Ipad in the cockpit. I imagine, with some doing, an entire digital roadway "infrastructure" could be put in place. Virtual tunnels in the sky.
Insurance premiums for this are going to be Sky High
People who buy toys like this live in alternate realities where the cost of anything isn’t a conversation.
Where is the GPS screen and is the bottom bullet proof for when I fly over people property?
"Not in my backyard... or above it!!" 😂
I still think something should go around rotors, do not know if that would influence the aerodynamics, but it would be a lot safer.
Like those you see around airplane propellers?
@@Bass.Player aeroplanes are flown by proper trained pilots and in and out of airports and aerodromes. Where the public isn’t just wandering around walking into them.
Putting something around them will impact performance and weight. But without something these are going to chopping peoples heads off lol.
@@MeppyMan Having been the owner of four airplanes I have some idea about how all of this works...
@@Bass.Player It sure didn't seem like it when you made that snarky comment.
@@tedunguent156 Well gee Ted, how many helicopters have you seen with blade guards. People don't get under the rotor and wave with their hands up in the air. Admittedly many people now days have survived because of all the safety inventions over the past decades and if these inventions were to have never existed many would not be here. So maybe some of these Darwin Award survivors might just walk into these rotors, however realistically no one would land in a group of people. Most people would know that these blades are dangerous
need to video this thing flying over a traffic jam and your sales would probably skyrocket😂
I got a pretty cheap drone for xmas a few years back and I felt so let down by it cause it was slow and not very responsive. Then I found out it had an 'expert' mode that totally transformed the way it flew. I wonder if these have that feature since they basically operate like a drone in 'easy' mode, except the controls fit your hand.
One well placed bird and yer a quadriplegic! What a great idea!
Yes, I would fly a Jetson to work. The problem is that my work is 25 miles away from home.
Probably only 15 minutes in the air tho
@@Matt-hg2iz sir, they clearly stated that the vehicle top speed is 60mph. So no. Obviously...
that is wild i can remember it wasnt long ago that we thought talking to someone on phone and seeing them while talking to them ?
I've dreamed of flying in these. I would love one.
If I had that kind of money (and if it's even legal in my area) I'd be all about something like this. That said, I imagine it won't be very long before someone's looking at their phone and crashes into a telephone pole or something.
mais sempre avera acidentes seja por uma coisa ou outra e vida e cheia de perigos e normal
How do I park it in my garage? Does it have wheels. My helipad is about 100 feet from my house!!!
Thsts awesome, id love to fly in one of those before I'm dead and gone
So does the weight of the batterypack outweigh the weight of the a gas engine and fuel? for the same ranges?
I only see this low range "novelty" in the hands of SOME rescuers like doctors that need to go to a hard to reach place where patient is.
Even if the battery gets 2x better it is NOT enough for the public.
200 Km range is minimum acceptable transport (air or ground) for a vehicle of any kind, costing 100k+.
Gee, maybe you need to tell the 400+ people that ordered one not to bother.
I love the design and would buy one.
AMAZING!!!!!
Please add some Radar/Lidar type collision detection system. Most EHV overhead electric transmission lines emit enough waves to be detectable. suburban and urban commute will need this. Great ideas, will be better which safety is as important as commute times.😇🙏
What I love: the light-weight design
What I don't love: the flight time (20 minutes), and the propellers (stand too close and get your head cut off)
I would like to see them work with "Jetoptera" and build a flying machine that doesn't require propellors
Go George Jetson!
Go!
Open blade design. I prefer a ducted fan (or blades) design. It just looks safer and in some applications it can improve thrust.
The Jetson X is gonna be so dope.
Yes please 🤤, here hold my beer and money.
Like everyone else on here, the range needs improving.
More feasible and safer is to have public air transport. Kinda like having a fleet of air buses. You drive with your car to a designated pickup point in your neighbourhood. Then fly in the public air buses to the nearest drop location to your destination.
I would be willing to start flying one tomorrow.
Reduced his commute time by 88%? So they're saying his commute originally took him over 40 minutes to travel the 3 miles (as the crow flies I'm presuming)? How slow do they drive in Italy, or how windy are the roads?
Might be a combination of mountains and traffic. Italy has alot of winding roads and hard terrain
@@cccspwn could be, but that’s almost leisure walking pace.
They must be running low on venture fundings to advertise like this lol
they just want the max amount of money scammed
My brother in laws co worker used to fly a motorized hang glider to work in the 80's in San Marcos CA. Not a kewl drone though. He got a lot of attention.
In a heartbeat
I'd definitely love to commute to work in one of those. However... the 18 minute flight time is a major concern. (Think wind conditions, visibility and-- as @Roadstercycle remarks/warns: Wire Strikes!). Increase the flight time by at least 75%, add some prox-sensing tech and I'm a GO for that!
Flying Car should be a 4-seater car with a range of at least 100 Km with a mileage of 5 Km/Litre.
Until that happens, it's not worth it 🤗
Wouldn't be litres as everything is going electric, no combustion.
@@CandyKoRn No Combustion isn't the future; it's more like Clean Combustion.

You can get that now...
Wonderful opportunity.
I would for sure fly one of these to work. I live about 1 mile from work and am also a private pilot.
I would love to fly or purchase one …. The flying time should be more than 20 min but still a incredible machine …
blame the battery, were not therre yet to sustain longer flight and keep the cost down at the same time...
Only if he could stay in the air for an hour and the price was a little lower I would love to buy one
I’m a long time delivery driver & I love what I do. One of my worries is being replaced by a drone to do my job. I would love to use this to get my work done. I have already suffered a head on collision with a drunk driver who at a split second swerved into my lane. Traffic is terrible & to cap it of where I live the roads are not paved & there is a lot of nails being collected into my tires.
those desert videos were taken at Błędowska Desert in Poland.
It's an electric helicopter. Of course flying will get you there faster. If you wanna piss someone off fly through their yard a few times.
You'll get shot at
Wearable drone.
That would be so much fun .
Sick! I want one.
With longer range and enclosed cockpit YES!
Guards on the rotor blades.
What is the max altitude on this thing? Most of the videos look like it's flying in ground effect.
awesome !
Makes you wonder if you are to commute to work in a suburban/urban area, your path will likely be over streets, highways, etc. This might be a challenge with obstacles and so on.
I would still want some kind of protection from the elements for places that are very cold:) Also, does it rely on the ground effect as I didn't see it go very high?
Oh good a flying food processor. Like to see you parachute out of that thing.
