The Jetson ONE personal air vehicle costs $128K. You can fly it without a pilot license after a quick 5-day training course. Needs an $8,000 deposit. comes with backup batteries, a ballistic parachute, and radar that handles auto-landing.
On the Safety features - Jetson include the ability to keep flying after 1 motor failure, hands-free hover and emergency functions, redundant battery propulsion, a ballistic parachute with rapid deployment, and a radar-sensor auto-landing system. Jetson also published a separate
In the US this fits FAA Part 103 ultralight rules, which means no pilot license and no aircraft registration. Operations are limited to daylight or civil-twilight with a strobe, not over congested areas, and not in controlled airspace without ATC authorization.
Jetson’s specs page lists 1 seat, 8 motors, approx 20 min flight time, software-limited top speed 102 km/h (63 mph), maximum pilot weight 95 kg (210 lb), service ceiling above 1,500 ft AGL, mass including batteries 115 kg, and a 4-axis joystick.
@rohanpaul_ai How safe is it?
@rohanpaul_ai No propellor guards and no pilot license?
@rohanpaul_ai If I was a millionaire, I would totally buy a fleet of these.... passive income as I rented them out.
@DonnieSEvans good strategy
@rohanpaul_ai Sad that it cannot fly into manhattan
@rohanpaul_ai It has a maximum range of 11 miles, cruising at 37 mph which takes about 20 minutes. Not many use cases?
@rohanpaul_ai I'm 34 and never have I been interested in F1, Indycar, Horse Racing, Sports of any kind. You start racing these mf's Baby...I'll sign the remainder of my financial life away following this sport. All the naysayers are fat. Fuck 'em.😂
@rohanpaul_ai Can you add wings? Even short ones could provide emergency glide lift
@rohanpaul_ai Those could be built and sold for a lot less.
@rohanpaul_ai @grok what is the maximum speed for this ?
@rohanpaul_ai Is this the same buttclenching tension the people who watched the first cars felt?
@rohanpaul_ai Is there ANY reason this is more expensive than a Motorcycle, other than inefficient manufacturing?
@rohanpaul_ai $128k for 15 minutes of flight time. Worth it ?
@rohanpaul_ai Even a small drone requires a certificate. Trust certificate if for fun. As soon as you publish a video on a monetized YouTube channel taken from one, you need a commercial drone operators license. The fine is up to $100k. Fly one in controlled air space without property
@rohanpaul_ai Will it dodge trees and power lines for you? Serious question.
@rohanpaul_ai Sweet, and you can trim your hedges!
@rohanpaul_ai What's the minimum height required for parachute deployment? I have to imagine there must be at least 100+ feet where the chute wouldn't deploy in time if the user suddenly fell out of the sky. Therefore, from ground to 100-200 feet would be a band of death for the pilot.
@rohanpaul_ai 🤔 can I fly it to work over all the parked cars?
@rohanpaul_ai Rotors need protection
@rohanpaul_ai Are you allowed to use them in public areas though?
@rohanpaul_ai So, as many as you can now, because Elon is coming.
@rohanpaul_ai I’m thinking about the applications in big cities….What’s the Landing & Take off square feet minimum as Clearance required (for that few minutes). It probably won’t be able to land on Costco parking lots….one might need to get a license. In rural areas then one wants to
@rohanpaul_ai I want one with an enclosed cockpit so I can fly it in bad weather.
@rohanpaul_ai Why can’t they cover the propellers with something light and aerodynamic? It’s basically a giant killing machine. Enormous liability.
@rohanpaul_ai Can they add a small cage to the propellers for safety?
@rohanpaul_ai I bet you cant fly it in UK airspace without a license
@rohanpaul_ai Don’t let the feds see this
@rohanpaul_ai Perfect for commuting over open pastures and open water and open deserts! Not so great where there are buildings, power lines, trees, etc.
@rohanpaul_ai This is awesome, but I'm starting a pool to see how long it takes someone to design and manufacture after-market firearm mounts.
@rohanpaul_ai @Devon_Eriksen_ Maximum pilot height?
