THANK YOU! For not adding music. This is so much better. Great job to all involved!!
YES, no music is the best, just real sound.
I agree on the music. Good show
The sound is….like a struggling battery mower? Not that “cool.”
@@patrickjennings7362 I'm a bigger nerd than you.
You guys don’t find this dangerous tho. You can’t autorotate if power is completly lost you just fall. In a helicopter you can glide, not in this.
Finally, a real flight with real sound, Congratulations on your achievement!
Wow.... realizing there are no options when the birds spook and the flock is in the flight line.
@@jpx1508 no options ?
@@fenwickc2274 yes, because he is low and slow. He is high enough to die, too low for his parachute system to work, too fast to evade and just over all in a terrible situation.
@@fenwickc2274no propeller protection due to weight reduction, this is a disaster waiting to happen, concept needs further developing though.

@@WhateverProduction4except helicopters don't tend to fly 50 feet above the ground and don't intend to be widely used for personal transport. A sky full of these would be awful.
@@WhateverProduction4 20 minute flight time is pure toy territory only.
1 finger on the parachute really gives us a sense of how much you really trust it
a parachute will do nothing that low to the trees
@@westcoastgaming96 Ejector seat? Foam ball? Tigger spring?
Is that a parachute? I think it's a physical electrical cut. It looks like its an xt connector of some type maybe an XT-90. The jumper is the wire connecting the positive and negative together forming a physical and electrical loop. when it's cut there is a break in the circuit because the connector comes out breaking contact between positive and negative
It's a self-destruct switch, no embarrassing landing.
Using an xt-60 plug as the dead mans switch is absolutely hilariously perfect
i was also thinking this. id be scared to have a random itch on my leg...hense forgetting i am still clutching this thing.
so if the public are allowed to own this imagine what military has by now? Anti Gravs UFO's and what not.
Ya for sure. Was wonder wtf is up with that. But, hey, one can hope…
Does it deploy a parachute? lol
its not a dead mans switch though?
Yes! Finally! Thank you so much for finally, finally listening to us. This is exactly what we had asked for.❤
The confidence and dexterity of that flight was that of a seasoned farmer whipping out his tractor like everyday. Kudos to what you achieved here...
This is so dangerous lmao. You can’t glide in this if all power is lost. In a helicopter or plane, you can glide. If airfoil modulation was developed for these evtols, they would be much safer being able to autorotate. In this current state though, very dangerous.
@@Soeks77it actually has a ballistic parachute, if you can believe that.
@@Soeks77
1. As I understand, the reason they're flying so low itself is so that if they 'fall', it's not from so high.
2. Instead of glide/autorotation, I think their safety planning is in the direction, is to somehow completely avoid total power loss, and in case if some rotors fail, others can compensate long enough for an emergency landing.
@@iTube2772 avoiding total power loss is impossible lmao the cells in either of the battery modules could go bad over time. Due to the props being so small in diameter as well, derbies could easily be sucked into them, critically damaging them much easier than on a helicopter or gyrocopter. I personally would NEVER fly a craft like this, just too dangerous. Relying 100% on thar parachute, it’s insane. He’s below the 50 foot minimum for the most part as well, and slamming into the ground from anything above 30 foot, good chance he’s dead.
I really don’t get why they don’t try to make a gas powered vtol octocopter also, no reason not to better range
@@jaypaint4855 relying 100% on a parachute, especially when lower than its 50 foot minimum altitude, is insane. In cirrus planes w ballistic chutes, you have e the chute and the ability to glide this thing can’t glide
When your local municipality restricts the use of lawn mowers after 06:00 PM but forgets its flying cousin.
This is so amazing. I can't believe how fast it is already. This can't be easy to fly, but this pilot is a master.
Not to take away from the pilot as he's brave to put himeself up at a height where a fall could kill him in an experimental craft, but drones are actually very easy to fly, airplanes, helicopters, even paramotors are more difficult, they're very stable with very simple controls, and is why they could become the aircraft for the masses if laws etc allowed, but the real problem would be people crashing into each other if lots of people were actually using them
Ur sooooo gaaaayyyyyyy

@@colt45x2d LOL< nerves I simply lack.
Oh I bet the Tuscan's love the sound of that flying by!!! 😝
Finally, pure sound!
I REALLY want one! The battery charge does have its limits. Has anyone thought of putting flexible solar panels on the top of the Jetson One? Keeping a charge going and the ability to recharge during a stop. Solar panels now come in a shapes and sizes. Give it a thought and try it. Just an idea. Have fun and be safe everyone.
@@dannyboy6754 There isn't a solar cell on the market small enough to fit on the craft that would make any appreciable difference to the run time. This machine needs to be a hybrid using a small gas turbine generator.
@@paulzx10 No gas turbine is required, only the battery! No need to ruin this vehicle with gas turbine!
@@vezertrojai Then this type of craft will only ever be a toy for the rich to amuse themselves with for ten minutes at a time buzzing about there manor house gardens. Current battery tech just doesn't have the capacity on its own in a small/low weight package to provide long enough flight times for anything meaningful...
@@dannyboy6754 People very much overestimate what you can get out of a portable solar panel and underestimate how much power EVs actually need. The battery pack for the Jetson 1 is likely around 8-10KWh. A barely portable fold out solar panel maxes out around 300W (and weighs over 40lbs). If it could sustain continuous 300W (none can do so) it would still take 26 hours of charging to fill that 8KWh pack.
Best Jetson video so far.
i want one
I wish I could afford one.
In fact I’d love for this to go mainstream but I can foresee a few big problems (being an aerial way of transportation vs terrestrial). Still, love it!👍🏼

As a pilot? Damn cool. And a nice vid! But for everyone who think e-VTOL's are the future of urban mobility? Listen to this. In fact, put on headphones and turn it up to max volume. Now imagine that multiplied by the hundreds. You would go absolutely insane from the noise.
agreed, the noise restrictions that governments would put in place would make these impossible to commercialise.
Also the birds flying off isn't a great look too, bird strikes would not be fun in this.
There is ways to cut down the sounds, differant blade options, not gonna be silent but should help
@chicago_race_engines7538 I feel like if eVTOL makers want to make their case, they should be trying to make these things as quiet as possible even in the prototype stage. I work in an aviation maintenance shop where we have done several Raisbeck Engineering King Air upgrade kits including their "quiet" Power Props. I'm here to tell you that yes they are slightly more quiet, but only marginally so. You can only male a prop so quiet.
In addition to the environmental aspect, it is also important to consider that according to Italian law, everything that takes flight becomes the responsibility of ENAC and must be considered as an aircraft. I do not know if this flight had been authorized, but there will certainly be a lot of bureaucracy to deal with in the future.
Maybe not noise It may be not so loud in the future, the problem is battery, he used 70% in just few min of flight.
Genuine sound, genuine experience. Amazing! Wonderful! So nimble and so fun! Thanks for the upload!
Jetson are going to make it - you can just feel it - fantastic achievement.
That's equally awesome and precarious.
Really need to paint the tips of the blades in bright Yellow/Orange for more visibility.
Why
@@animalanimal7939 "more visibility" the bit right at the end there

These things are so dangerous lmao. If powers lost you fall and slam into the grojne you can’t glide like in a helicopter.
@@Soeks77 ballistic parachute
@@daszieher he’s below 50 feet most of the time, which is the chutes minimum deployment altitude. Additionally, he has to pull it himself to deploy it, which takes about a second to react to, plus a second for the chute to deploy.
@@Soeks77 humans, when conditioned to a certain event can react much more quickly. 1/3 of a second. Deployment parameters are not fixed. They are a function of several factors, best summed up by the direction and length of the velocity vector with respect to the obstacle or ground
@@daszieher ok, still doesn’t have the ability to glide like a helicopter in the event of an engine failure. Additionally, jt constantly needs power to maintain a level attitude and altitude, unlike a helicopter which lowers its power to idle when descending or landing. With all trust going into that chute, I find it very dangerous and unnecessary, especially given its extremly low range. Maybe with a gas engine jt could be better?
Finally no music... Amazing flight/
I like how the little drone at the end came out to welcome its papa home.
I was about to comment how that landscape feels familiar, then I read the description xD
I wish they could get in touch with someone who can produce right now some solid state batteries and test them on these. When these things will get around the one hour mark of flying time we are going to assist at a revolution.
An hours flight time, for a well trained and experience pilot, would make these in to useful tools for farming, forestry, fire fighting. Add in top end way point autopilots, and you could send one out and back from hospital to crash site on freeways and the like.
But they need to get that hour or more of flight time. I don't think any battery in production today will do it, even the solid states, but a small onboard micro turbine spinning an alternator might keep the batteries topped up enough, so the batteries deal with the high current moments, and the generator tops it back up while cruising.
I can tell you right now the chances are very high that they already have their hands on some factory samples (ie a pack or two) of the latest and greatest battery tech available. It's generally how these things tend to go.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes From what I understand the solid state will double the current capacity but there are other battery technologies in development that can offer up to 10 times the current capacity, that would be over 3 hours of flight time, just imagine that. My gut feeling is that soon we are going to witness a revolution in transportation from drone technologies. We are going to start flying...
@@criticalpoint7672 Better to say 'existing capacity', lest anyone confuse it as the Amperage delivery capacity. I haven't seen much news on how many amps the Solid State technology can deliver, it's hard enough to find retailers who have accurate data on that for Li-Ion 18650's
@@criticalpoint7672 I don't know if anything that sounds like that will start a revolution, every city in the world would ban it on noise alone.
I love this. I could buzz back and forth between my two U-Haul locations without having to deal with traffic :)
Only would be able to do that in a free country.
@@More_Row I don't think the freedom to not have to put up with that noise is more important than the freedom to fly between U-Haul locations tbh
Great demo. A little explanation would help on your controls for us. Assuming that is an emergency rocket powered parachute lanyard in the left hand....correct? If not, what? I can't imagine that it has gliding or autorotation possibilities. All power, roll, yaw and pitch controls embedded in the ride hand stick controller? Really cool machine regardless. Thanks for sharing.
I came to the comments to figure this out as well. Definitely curious on what that lanyard attached to the XT 60 or 90 plug in his left hand is..
And also, what was controlling the throttle?
I think that when he pulls the red ring, a parachute is shot out of the back and thus Jetson hangs nose-down on the parachute and descends.
@theendisnearbeware I'm not sure what the parachute system encompasses here, but using basic explosives you can theoretically trigger the chute to explode upwards and with weighted ball bearings shot horizontally that are attached to the winglets of the chute (so the lower canopy shoots outwards) you can "pre-inflate" the chute so that the chute deployment height (before you're under canopy) is reduced dramatically.
It has eight motors so one can fail while still allowing the pilot to land immediately. Technically four in the right places could fail if their thrust was high enough, but they aren't that powerful
According to the manufacturer's website, yes, the lanyard in the pilot's left hand is indeed a parachute. Not that it would be of any use at the height depicted in this particular video, but the aircraft can go higher.
The altitude is controlled by the left hand, similar to a standard helicopter. One just has to assume that the actual stick itself was blocked by the pilot's hand in this video.
Edit: I am now aware of my mistake regarding the altitude control, I have apologized for it, and we've moved on. You don't need to keep reminding me, over and over, of something that's already been corrected _multiple times._ If you read the above, and decided to post about it without checking if someone else already had, then you are bad and you should feel bad. Thank you.

Techbros reinvented the kit helicopter/autogyro, but short-range, not affordable and deadlier.
Honestly, I feel like the only chance of this thing selling is that the customer is unaware of the existence of cheaper gyrocopters.
@@globinboopin4226
Yep. This would be a cool garage project, but instead it's a 100K+ techbro "product" made by the "ideas guy". For that kind of money, you can buy a demilitarised 60's fighter jet, and a kit microcopter or gyro will set you back you like few thousands at most.
This, BTW, is a flying brick, and there's a good reason why the military doesn't use stuff like these, sci-fi arse corner fan VTOLs. The V22 Osprey for example is a death trap, and it actually has a gearbox connecting the two rotor pods just like the Chinook and is designed to autorotate it to a relatively safe crash landing.If one of the four pods on this one fails you're done, in fact pretty sure this thing can't even autorotate and land unpowered even if the asymmetric lift during a failure does not just straight flip you over into a death roll freefall.

@@gs1100ed The batteries don't just DIE. You get a fair bit of warning as voltage drops. It will drop quickly, but you'll see reduced thrust long before they just shut down. It does seem like they have trouble operating out of ground effect. I don't know how they define ground effect for a quad/oct copter, but it felt more like they were low due to performance limitations. Still very cool, but the performance envelope might be a little narrow right now.
@@robot_spider I have an electric zero turn mower. When voltage runs low or the grass is tall, the mower blades stop with ZERO warning. Luckily, the drive motor work long enough to rush back to the charger. I’m not a fan of batteries dying, especially if I’m at altitude.

Is choosing to fly above trees to hope for a soft ish landing in the event of engine failure? I guess with no backup chute it's the best option?

That’s what I was guessing. Note how he also has emergency cutoff in his left hand at all times.
@@smaxfpv1337 i wonder what this does...
It has a ballistic parachute from what I know.
The red loop (XT60) is most likely connected to the ballistic parachute. According to their website, Jetson have a partnership with ParaZero who make these. They have a model that supports 350kg/770lbs and has a minimum deployment height of approx 15m/50ft. Jetson also claim the cockpit is designed to absorb impact, so one imagines it can soak up the 60kph/37mph speed that a fall from 15m/50ft would produce. Also from their website: The craft can continue flying and land safely with a motor failure and it has dual redundant batteries.
Where's the battery level indicator? Seemed like a battery change happened half way.
The title said uncut, yet there was a cut halfway through. I assumed it was a battery change as well.
@@redinger44841I don't see any indication of battery charging. The charge indicator, the green bar at the top of the instrument shows no change in charge at the halfway landing.
Unless, you'd like to imply that they swapped batteries halfway and the charge indicator was purely "cinematic".
But that would be something entirely different...
@@daszieher You answered my question. I'm color blind and didn't notice those lights. Thanks!
@daszieher if they were deceptive enough to cut the uncut video then I wouldn't put it past them to manipulate the charge reading.
Wow! Youblive ther and you fly these!? You have the best life!
I really hope that this will come to market as a vehicle. And one day, there will be people crazy enough, to fly it with little to no angle restrictions etc.
Flying yourself around as aggressively as an FPV drone will be one hell of a ride. I see these things participating in group-races with pilots brave enough to beat it around the air. Or in a military case, soldiers fliying themselfs quickly from A to B. Which wouldn't be good but very cool.
Nothing fell off. So far, I trust this more than an airliner.
i dont know about that. 8 minute flight used up like 60% of its battery.
LOL
I don't know about the aircraft, but the pilot decision making is so terrible it would make anything look good.
That’s some trust in those esc’s!
Yep if powers lost he falls immediately. People don’t realize how dangerous these aircraft are he’s flying very low too too low for the chute to be effective

Just added Jetson Flight to my bucket list!
As a pilot I find this EXTREMLY dangerous. Why? Cause what if all power is lost? You can’t glide like in a helicopter or gyrocopter, you just fall. That’s the main concern with these evtols they can’t autorotate.
Never thought of that, certainly terrifying and probably wouldn’t die, just get real ducked up
1.) super low here. 2.) if he did have to bail trees would help a bit. 3.) parachute for the whole rig for something this light could be possible in the near future. Just a thought
@@Cheaphorsepower it has a chute however it can only be utilized above 50 foot, hes below 50 feet mostly through this flight. If you fell from 20-30 feet, you’d get very very hurt at least cause remember your not just falling, your moving forwards that may induce a roll when landing on the grojnd
As a drone engineer, I agree about it is very dangerous. If one of 8 motors/ESC fails the drone will rotate unpredictable with huge rotation speed. Unable to avoid collision with trees in this case.
Very dangerous propeller debris in case of collision
after the legal side of owning and flying this thing gets sorted out, its gonna be interesting toy to own
This should never be aproved above 7 feet
The legal side will never get sorted out. By the time the insurance companies get through with it, it will gain weight, have fully shrouded props, and won’t be allowed to fly over cities, cross roads (let alone fly over them) or anyplace else people congregate, or water. And it's going to run afoul of all sorts of noise regulations.

🤔🙄I was looking for this answer in the comments but unfortunately no one mentioned it 😢😢😢
Left hand is controlling the throttle. Right hand joystick controls Pitch and Roll. I believe Yaw is controlled via "Rudder pedals" the same as a fixed wing plane or helicopter. A twist grip right hand joystick would work as well, controlling pitch, roll And yaw.
Think it has a parachute that can be deployed in case of emergency
This seems extremely risky. You've got like, at least 8 small, fast-moving props, which multiplies the failure probability of a single prop by 8. Small props have to spin faster to produce lift than larger ones, which increases the stress on the material... meaning they likely already have a pretty high failure chance. At that low altitude, having one or two of those props fail in-flight will roll you into a tree with almost no time to react, and no parachute would have time or space to deploy. Looks like they're also fixed-pitch blades, meaning in the event of a power-off emergency, you can't safely land using autorotation. It's basically a hovercraft... you can fly it higher than a few feet, but you really shouldn't.
Holding what looks to be an emergency power cutoff in your left hand the entire flight had me on the verge of grinding my teeth. Impressive, but I would never trust my life to such a thing. No offense, I just flew FPV quads too much to trust something that can't glide or autorotate.
Most likely a ballistic parachute
@@redinger44841 Ah, that would make a lot more sense.
Ejection seat
THAT WAS AMAZING
That noise. Damn, you must be crazy to fly that.
It's quieter than my Skylark. To be honest, it is quieter than the UL planes I have flown.
Overpriced af... and also a suicide machine

Flying so low is not very clever when trying to sell the product. Unexperienced noobs will hit a tree. This is no Nintendo console. Go higher, thats safer, the parachute will not work at tree level. Cool product, wish I had one, really. But I do have a PPL (Private Pilots License) and I do know what not to do
Good luck having more than 10 min battery life at 50 feet of gained altitude 😂
It costs $128000.... not a single noob can afford it. It'll be fine.
For people living in remote or underserved areas, flying cars could provide better access to urban centers and essential services. This could be particularly valuable in regions with limited ground transportation options or challenging terrain 😘🥰😘🥰
Excellent … thanks for sharing
Thank you for this Video. Very nice Landscape
Looking good! Congratulations on your hard work!!
Man, that looks like SO MUCH fun! Oh heck yes, I wish I could afford one. xD
Flying so low like trying to avoid mafia SAM sites 😂 U r an amazing pilot! 😎
An actual real video of one flying. I fly old small pitts biplanes and this is pretty damn cool
Love how you don't trust your flight controller very much :D
Octocopter usually can continue flying with one or two motors/props broken, but your pilot has a piece of wire he has to hold on to, ha ha
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen😂
The design of these vehicles is advancing, making them increasingly practical. I have two questions:
In the video, we see birds flying out of the trees. If a bird strike were to disable both props on the front left engine, what would be the likely outcome for the vehicle and pilot?
Unlike propeller aircraft and helicopters, which can glide or auto-rotate to land safely in the event of an engine failure, what is the procedure if there is a battery failure or bird strike?
Can't wait to see open-source derivatives of this concept!
This is both so incredibly cool and terrifying.
A parachute would be a neat addition as a safety feature. Those exposed blades are... a little unsettling though. I love the idea of this and am very excited to see it's future!
I stand corrected on the parachute thing. I missed that when I was going through the site
