@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 I believe they are saying the original model was supposed to be close to a 100,000 but 20 years from now when I can afford one lol I'm sure it'd be great improvements and cost reductions. But thankfully due to the competition hopefully those numbers could be eventually cut in half.
@@ckfirst1995 The Jetson One is just under 100 grand. The Blackfly first edition probably sold for 2x more but price will be lower this year since production kicks in. For 50 grand you can buy single seat UL kit helicopter. Dual seat kit heli is around 115. But again maintaining flying skill proficiency is s big factor so an eVTOL will be cheaper to run and accessible for people of less/no pilot skills only some aviation rules ®s knowledge...
imagine this is air taxi fleet use... oh my God that would be amazing. these look like they can get somewhere if scaled up slightly more but as a personal aircraft this is clean and AWESOME
Nice. but why not just tilt the two wings? that would give it strong maneuverability, handy in urban vtol and the motors wouldn't need independent tilt nor be out of the way of the wing. Also the body can be more minimal, it's only the cabin that needs volume, the rest can taper quickly back to a modest shark tail. It doesn't need a lot of directional stability with all that engine authority. The body and wing tips could maybe be landing gear. don't think plane. think from scratch.
Why is every eVTOL company obsessed with making inefficient and unsafe aircraft? Those tiny wings cannot safely glide the aircraft in the event of a power loss. Another dangerous amateur science project.
well if you require a large space to take off aka airport what's the purpose of VTOL in the first place??? the wings are only there to increase mileage but not too long such that it wouldn't be able to take off from an urban setting.
it looks 'unhappy' ,sagging nose high 'hanging on the props' -- putting the nose down to accelerate after lift off reduces the wing lift momentarily and a sharp jump up tends to force the nose up (tail damping) --not a good overall combination . god knows how much money has gone into these misconceived concepts (or Google/Larry Paige does...) WHAT is the overall strategy with the various CORA/ Wisk and Archer clones or the 'floatplane' Flyer that all seem to be going off in different directions ? too many dollars not enough sense. Ballistic chutes do not make up for basic lack of fail safety --demonstrating survival after low level power loss (even flat battery) will be a litmus test. grafting quad copter electronics into bad ideas with software fixes is not good engineering design.
Outstanding! Great job you guys. Keep uf the videos!
nah, sorry we closing our doors.
@@AI-Consultant O & W wouldn't have quit. They would have looked at what the experienced, learned from it, and engineered and tested on. Don't quit.
Beautiful, well done guys
I've always wondered what was happening with the Heavy side. glad I found this channel. If ever they come out and I can afford one I will be buying 1.
What is your budget that you are willing to spend on a single seat eVTOL aircraft / PAV / FUV?

What a great machine
This is amazing what do you think it would take to give you 350 miles of range or maybe a second person
more batteries bro
Looked like a rough landing is there anyway to make the landing perfectly safe and no bounce like have the computer land you basically 😅
gonna buy me this oneday!!! mark me word...aye!
felicitaciones, sigan adelante
What happened to the Flyer?
2 heavy sides on deck at the end.
RIP
when can I preorder?
cool
Cost?
$1/k per week

I like this plane-first approach.. I think of it like hybrid cars.. a vehicle to bridge the gap.
@@blue3783 you mean landing unpowered? it can have a symbolic belly wheel and ballistic parachute. Heard of those?
@@viroxd what you arbitrarily like is quite irrelevant. I'm talking about what's best.
@@DanFrederiksen what you think is relevant is quite arbitrary
@@viroxd you are so clever
Literally a coffin on wings.
WTF
Music no good... rather hear the take off!
It is much better then Tesla.
!
The music is awful, but nearly as bad as the aircraft design.
Everything you’ve done, was an utter waste of time and money.

Because it doesn't matter to them. They just want to sell the compan, get rich and forget it.
