Marketing videos rarely come without music. This is for a reason. I've uploaded drone videos for decades and the noise is quite grating. Yes once would be good for us techies but maybe not their intended market
I cant wait for the days when this is normal personal aviation. Image a racing sport with these vehicles. Imagine cops flying quickly to a scene. Imagine doctors flying to emergency’s and not being dependent on a helicopter landing at a big open field. I’m glad that I am young and I will see all of this become a reality. Thank you for building the foundation of this.
ofcourse you are right the possibilities are unlimited but you must remember this Jetson has very limited weight it could take. Even if pilot is obese it would not fly. So, many things aren't possible e.g rescue purpose
why would a doctor fly to an emergency and not to a clean room to operate in a place that won't kill a person due to infections running rampant on the scene...there's a reason why it's an emergency location. think of all the doctors that would be dead having flown to fukishima and chernobyl
It's incredible to think how far we've come -- and even more incredible to imagine how mainstream things like this will be in the next 10-20 years. Great work.
@@Darkness-ie2yl The reason why this is not practical at all is because it has either 4 or 8 major points of failure. Helicopters are far less safe than planes for a reason. They have no ambient lift or sail. This takes the risk of a turbine powered helicopter, and instead makes it 4 individual electric motors all of which can fail in multiple ways. It's not safe or reliable.
@@drownthepoor btw, if something happens to an engine in a helicopter, you still can land it safely, thanks to autorotation feature.. while with quad drones i agree, they may fall like a rock.. but also i believe that this quad have double motors for a reason.. maybe to compensate a failure of one
Aircraft Pilot here. I am beyond excited for this. As a pilot, I will always gonna want to fly and OG multiengine airplane; but as an aviator, I couldn’t be more happy for seeing the closest thing to a flying car! Congratulations to all the team behind this!
Just like an old and gorgeous Boeing 737-200 or the sexy 727-100, with those large and slim engines. But nowadays? Unless you live next to the airport, we can barely hear airplanes taking off and don’t hear them at all when landing. There is always a way of taking care of that problem, it’s just acoustics. A gigantic drone with a seat won’t be a big deal. @@918_xDx
I figured a rancher would be a great fit for one. Think of all the uses on a cattle ranch. Check on the Hurd or track down loose cattle. Check fences for damage just great tool for big wide open ranches
That has to be the coolest damn thing i've ever seen. I could totally see this being used for short distance trips if you want to fly over some scenic hard to cross terrain. So badass
It will be interesting to see what the range and speed will be in the final version. I don't think I would want to fly it through a bunch of trees though.
Absolutely. The specs on the website state a max flight duration of 20mins and a top speed of 102km/h (63mph). So, this would give you around 30km (19 miles) max.
and no failsafe.. it least with a helicopter there may be a chance to auto gyro safetly, or and airplane glide in to a landing on engine failure.. this egg beater, you are screwed, no recovering if one of those motors goes out from hitting a bird
@@Turbo_TasticImpressive research. So the ability to fly after losing one motor/prop is nothing. The parachute is nothing as well? Ok - thanks for the clarification… 😏
Jetson ONE is a structure and design by Polish engineer Tomasz Patan. The innovative idea was finalized in the USA. By the way. - Another Polish world-class invention. The Polish company "Inuru" is the first in the world to print light. The Polish engineer Marcin Ratajczak is a brilliant inventor. Light printing allows you to use screens on clothes, packaging and many other everyday objects.
Your Jetson is the closest to flying on one's own wings (Na Wlasnych Skrzydlach). In 1960's in Poland, It was my father's dream to fly slow, low and S.T.O.L. Watching you fly Tomasz makes my heart beat as fast as I remember mine beating watching my Dad flying.
I get your point, but ducted fans are more of a hassle than they are worth. They add size, structural complexity and drag in forward flight. Sure there is a benefit to safety and to hover efficiency, but for a minimalistic design like the Jetson One, they are not a good choice.
Not sure when I commented about the dream of flight, but never give up your dreams. One day it might just happen!!! What an honor to see it all come to your fruition! Keep up the big smiles and maybe one day I can say thanks in person. Well done and have a great week!
Just love the Jetson....I find it amazing that modern technology will see my grandchildren driving/flying machines we could only dream of when I was young. Rant & rave at the modern world all you like, but the advances we are making far outweigh the nostalgic negatives. I take it the will be a circular cover around the blades when it comes out for general production ?.
We are making advances but don't think they will be available for every person on the planet. We are getting forced out of cars, planes and home ownership atm. The WEF really do want us owning nothing and being happy. Communism is on it's way.
A small cross section hoop maybe but full ducts which would provide the most protection are not very efficient when it comes to smaller scale quadcopters....and they are loud...real loud..
WOW.. all the negative comments. The Wright Brothers spent 4 years perfecting their aircraft. First launch lasted 12 seconds and travelled 120 feet. Seems like things have improved significantly since then. Lucky they kept going and didn't give up because of negative comments from so called (experts). I say....WAY TO GO!
The only thing that would make me hesitant on buying one is the lack of safety guards surrounding the blades and open exposure to the elements. If you put a proper enclosure on it and a gps display tablet on the inside. Now that would be a great purchase.
This would be the best project to invest in, i love how fast those microcontrollers kick in with lift to stabilise it, sweet! This is one to be followed! Keep going!❤
Yeah it really won't be though, people are not capable of flying these and imagine the noise of hundreds of helicopters flying around in every town. That's why there's music in the video
@@ScienceBitch123Yes it will sound like a big bug infestation and all the accidents ....Until all the bugs are worked out just a dream ...It only last 10 to 20 min not long enough for anny thing ..
Its literally a flying vitamix and about as noisy as one as well....Its amazing and terrifying to think that open, spinning props on these were deemed OK for public use in Any universe.
Great video, the future is now! Thanks to the development team for continuing to create similar systems... The sky should be an accessible environment for everyday human movements!!!
Does that include model aircraft and drone flyers who are now being persecuted for partaking in a hobby that has had zero deaths and few injuries for over 50 years?
Personally I think Jetson is an incredible product, however it’s most potential mostly lies in sports (most interesting would be racing or aerobatics)., and even there it’d need at least 40min - 1 hr flight time. To be fully successful on any other market on top of flight time it needs better carrying capacity. Wish you guys all the luck, I’m sure you have incredible future.
This is awesome. On your website you said you can fly in USA without a PPL. Do you have any more details *where* I can fly. Can i commute to work in this yet or what?
Dear Jetson team, why dont you produce a video that demonstrates the One meeting the design criteria and advertised specs? It very probably can't, am I right?
Congratulations, an amazing achievement for sure. The ONLY element that has me curling my toes is those neck-level blades. May I respectfully ask, what is the primary reason for these not being overhead? Thank you and best wishes. 👍🇬🇧
Good job but you still should make defense for when the blades eventually fly off from an accident.. for not only the operator but others around the vehicle. Respect
If you run into anything you fall out of the sky. The double propellers are the redundancy, so if you lose four props from one strike you're going down.
Question. Say you're flying along, 500 feet in the air and the battery dies or one of the rotors breaks/malfunctions. Do you simply plumet 500 feet to your death, no way that thing will glide down like a regular plane could due to lack of wings.
@@wallytunk5848 So? A fighter jet is just an oversized RC plane, but you'd wanna ride that too if you got the chance. What a stupid thing to say SMH...
I am overjoyed to see your dream becoming reality! You guys have come a long way and I believe if you can keep the price decent you will sell them like hotcakes!
Congratulations, this Jetson and a Fisker are on my bucket list to buy before I die. As a fellow with the same last name as the co-founder it seems a no-brainer!! LOL Congrats Jetson on the acievement.
I have been following the Jetson for two years and I suggest that as many drones have a protective material around the propellers this one also should have one, what happens if gets sideways close to the ground? What kind of safety also has?
Any comms in the helmet? Radios in the aircraft? XPDR? ADS-B? You are eventually planning to operate in airspace with other aircraft/atc etc, yes? Avionics required.
Future of fun toys.....never will it be practical transportation. In the 1970's Popular Science said we would all be driving FLYING cars by the year 2000......because predictions 30-40 years in the future are like a fart in the wind.
I would suggest creating a simulator app that we could play and get used to the technology and controls. It would get people excited about it to be able to experience it first it on their iPad.
My wife would love one of these, LOL, because she hates the commute to work each day. I hate to burst the Jetson bubble, but if anyone works more than 15-20 minutes from their office, this is not practical because of the short battery life. We live 30-45 minutes (depending on traffic) from her office, so she likely make it to work. For anyone in our situation, it's little more than an expensive toy! It's a beautiful design, but not sold on the safety or the severe range limitation for it to be a practical transport! Followed you for over a year and a half, but not enough progress. Good luck!!
While it is a beautiful contraption, I think the fact you are unwilling to fly more than 15' off the ground says a lot about your confidence in the system.
