Jetson ONE - Take Off in Tuscany 

I am in my 70's. When I watched the 1950's sci-fi movies, I hoped for the day when that fiction might become reality. By the grace of God, I might have another 20 years to watch even more techno magic. Meanwhile, I want to fly one of these things so badly I can taste it!!!

People have been complaining about the lack of noise in those quaint Tuscan landscapes for AGES, this finally solves it!

This is awesome. The lost propeller to the face potential is pretty terrifying though.

This is the first personal flight vehicle that I've seen and actually thought that it looks like the future. Forget jetpacks or hoverboards.

Perfect for clipping the trees and hedges around the home

So basically.. someone looked at a drone and thought "what if I made that big enough to sit on"... I love it!

This is perfectly cool. High enough to not survive the fall but not high enough for a parachute to open 🙂Other than that, hats off, great job!

Amazing invention, i wanted to be a pilot from my childhood, but i live in Afghanistan and these are just dreams to wish. hope one day i would be able to drive on of those jetsons.

"Keep your arms and hands inside the ride at all times." 🏴‍☠... Fantastic

THAT right there is what I always wanted! Something compact. No huge wingspan. No large overhead rotors. Something streamlined to just take off vertically, skim above the tree tops and land, vertically onto a rooftop or small space! I'm 68 and maybe, if another heart attack doesn't take me anytime soon, maybe the price will eventually hit a point I could afford. Congratulations to the inventors!

I loved the rearmirrors on the frame; he's clearly expecting company 🥰

I'd love to see a clip with no music so that we can get an idea of just how ridiculously loud it is. Literally all of their clips have have super loud music to mask the noise...

This looks amazing, although I'm slightly worried about uncontained rotor failures. Edit: Uncontained rotor failure means the rotor fails and breaks/shatters.

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” ― Leonardo da Vinci Well done Jetson, well done.

It's really thrilling not because of the flying but the blades in front of the face.

Finally! The future of hedge trimming is here.

yeah, I'm sure everyone there trying to enjoy their quiet, Tuscan villa bank holiday are just thrilled, ecstatic even, with this milestone event...

I still remember a dream I had as a kid 30+ years ago. I was flying around the mountains where I grew up in a really small flying craft. In the dream it wasn't clear what was propelling it, but it was otherwise so vivid. This is the closest thing in real-life I've seen thats like what I dreamt about.

A drone that carries a passenger, amazing. You're going to suffer permanent hearing loss with every flight considering how loud that thing must be (and why there is no actual audio in the video).

Those powerlines and that drone, nothing bad can happen there :)

Wow. That would be next level loud. Imagine thousands of them driving around at once.

When batteries can last days instead of hours, these Jetson ONE will be very very popular, even if the cost comes down to $100,000 each. Fantastic technology. I am 78 and would love to fly in one of these.

The Best Model I have seen so Far. Congrats !!

I am watching "soon we will have flying cars!" stuff on the media now for 35 years. Still not saw a single one anywhere ever.

When I was a child 68 years ago, I would frequently sat on a stool and dreamed of driving a flying thing. I think this is it😂🤩.

OK, this is officially the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

Was big pleasure to edit this video for you Tomasz ❤

What's crap is this... I had this idea when I was in 3rd grade, and my teacher told me that it was NOT practical because the batteries would be far to heavy to be able to get off the ground, and an extension cord was stupid! BUT, that was SO long ago, I can't even believe it has taken this long for it to become a reality!!! Kudos to this person for making this a reality! It does my soul good and warms the heart!!! I am an old man now, and I am so proud of mankind for advancing this far, at least!!! Thank You!!!

Fantastic as science fiction comes to life. Just watched the Jet Pack trials in the UK where they're looking at using them for mountain rescue paramedics. This guy went 3,000 feet up the side of a hill in four minutes in wet, cloudy overcast weather conditions unsuited to helicopter flights. Ironman is here!

As an rc CP Heli enthusiast/pilot, I’m stunned and just loving this! Yea, I fly a few drones/quads too, but this is where it’s at!

I can't wait for the day when this technology is available to every mouth breather with a pulse.

Watching the Jetson fly 🪰 made me think in my head “wow, we’re getting very close to flying Cars”

I loved watching the Jetsons when I was a little. THIS takes me back in time (cool!).

"Everyone is a pilot" Yeah, we've all seen how well the average human handles driving in two dimensions. God help us all.

Brawo dla polskiego konstruktora.

Space age is here! How cool is that! I want one!

I just need 92 k and I would love to fly this over our strawberry fields all summer long .. So I keep playing the lotto !! If I win its on !

Bought my first Drone about a year ago and was impressed but having learned its restrictions I can only imagine that this has a lot of technical issues that stop it from being commercially viable, battery time and wind speeds top of the list. Still I wish developers best of luck any push towards more efficient transport deserves praise.

Отважные, любознательные люди! Респект

These are everywhere ! You just happen to be one of the few people to SHARE !

Judging by the disruption from the downdraft, I foresee some extensive “no-fly” zones associated with public use. Can’t wait to try one out - hope I get the chance. I’m 67 now, so they better hurry up!

Of all the designs I've seen, this one I like the most. Beautiful, looks just like a rc quadcopter.

As a child, I imagined flying bikes. I am excited that it will become a reality.

Legendary as simple as that. Respect

I like the fact that this thing is so quiet and inconspicuous. Seriously, who doesn't enjoy the sound of four leaf-blowers all going at full-tilt?

I want one, and I'm afraid of heights! 😲 This is a new chapter in personal aircraft. Yay!!!!! Yeah, the unshielded props are a little unnerving but Worth the Risk !! Thank You , Folks.

Flying "cars" (more like a flying motorcycle in this case) are definitely a fun idea, and there's certain use-cases for them... but by and large, videos like this just prove why flying cars would be totally impractical in typical use cases compared to normal cars and transit. 1) The wind. If you tried taking off in a flying car in an average neighbourhood, you'd be blowing every trash can, lawn ornament, unsecure thing, etc... all around the place. Everything within like at least a 50 foot radius wouldn't be safe if it's isn't bolted down or rooted into the earth. People would have to drive their flying cars to special take-off zones, and only land in special zones as well, then drive the rest of the way. These takeoff/landing would be major pinch-points for traffic. So yeah, even with flying cars, we'd end up with traffic, and have many other limitations on where and when you can fly. 2) The NOISE. These things are frickin' loud. At this size, it sounded like a giant swarm of robotic bees the size of dogs... can you imagine how a flying mini-van would sound? People would be flying frickin' jet engine level noise machines around at the same frequency as cars today? Don't think so. 3) This thing's unstable. I'm sure we can come up with more advanced designs in the future, but as it is... it feels like a stiff updraft from one side would be enough to flip this thing upside down, and then you're totally buggered. Drones lose control all the time because of this. The smaller the aircraft, the less stable it'll be. Airliners are safer because of their size and wingspan, which gives them stability. Helicopters can flip upside down, but still recover. This thing couldn't. And speaking of helicopters.... 4) We've already had helicopters for decades, which are roughly the size of a car/van/truck. If people having "flying cars" was ever going to be a thing, we would have let everybody have helicopters already. But we don't. Because flying is frickin' dangerous and relatively complicated, and people are already bad enough at driving non-flying cars. This could change with computer controlled flying cars... but then you'd still have the other problems I mentioned. And if you're not even gonna be driving your flying car, you might as well not even own it, but just grab a flying taxi when you need one. And if you're just gonna grab a taxi that can't take off in your neighbourhood due to wind and sound bylaws, and just has to drive you to a designated take-off/landing zone... which might be called something like an "airport"... at which point, you'd then start flying and reach another designated airport, which you'd then be driven from, to your destination.... Hmm... sounds familiar, doesn't it? Basically, the idea of "flying cars" is not, was not ever, and will not ever be a practical idea. Flying machines like this might be great for recreation and sports, etc... as well as some professional/industrial type uses I could think of... but not for transportation or use by the general public.

Seeing this never gets old!

From first take off to this, Jetson is really improving very well.

When anti-gravity quiet aircraft is made - then I’ll drop an excitement load.

Not only is it a personal transportation device, but you can do landscaping while traveling!

This is the coolest thing I have seen in my 70 years 😊👍💥👌

These Jetson flight videos are always the first I click in my subscription feed!

Pretty soon, we will have flying officers giving us speeding tickets up in the air!😂

The DREAM of human kind it’s today à reality, amazing, thank you for the woderfull landscape.

The trouble with quadcopters is their general inability to fly with one or more motors broken. Hopefully Jetson was/is able to make it so that if thrust is lost in one corner, the rest automatically adjust to prevent any dangerous changes in attitude. EDIT: It seems some of you don't understand that when a plane or helicopter loses engine power, it can glide to safety. Without any power, airplanes can have a 10:1 glide ratio, and helicopters can have a 3:1 glide ratio. Quadcopters have a glide ratio of 1:1 or worse. In addition, a parachute needs a minimum altitude in order to function properly.

As much as I'm excited by this, this video is terrifying and exhibits all of the problems with this becoming a reality. Trees everywhere, power lines, light poles... and no collision avoidance system. The controlled airspace for personal flying devices need to be more strict than even drones. Imagine enormous pieces of broken drone falling from the sky. It isn't about the pilot, it is about the people on the ground.

Ooh my god, the NOICE. Consider having a whole flock of those noicemakers flying around. It would be like living next the local Harley Davidson fanclub...

I love the Jetsons. As a child i really liked this cartoon series on German televsion from 1970 onwards. In the USA this series has been running since 1962. I always found it very amusing how the Jetsons flew from one skyscraper to another in their little aircraft. Greetings from germany. 🤩😁😮

WoW! Those 8 props sure produce a lot of thrust! Looks like he has great control too. Amazing!

I like the double prop stacking. Redundancy is so important

Finally someone build a machine that not only flies but can trim your trees and hedges at the same time!

WOW!!! a billion times. Regardless of its flaws for now but very very impressive. This is DEFINITELY the start of our flying car.

"Everyone is a pilot" I can see the FAA having a field day with this. ATC's all over the world would quit en masse ahaha

love the fact there are two door mirrors, as if there will be others coming up to overtake it

I am ready for the TWO SEAT VERSION.😂

I am still waiting for the most important video for this seemingly amazing creation. We need to see a single, unbroken, observer pov. Pilot approaches, enters, takes off, short fly around, returns/lands and finally exists vehicle.

Endurance : 10 mins , Purpose : mowing the tree tops and lawn !

Well near 73 now and I want to fly it would be so much fun.

This is the most amazing thing I have seen.. Can't wait for more. Best of luck team.

J’en rêve !!! J’espère que cet avenir est là, proche de nous et que ce type d’engins nous permette une nouvelle liberté et de nouvelles perspectives…. Encore bravo

Even if not currently practical, it is an amazing vision for the future; I wish I was 40 years younger, would maybe see more of these in flight.

I'd imagine the residents of that valley in Tuscany hate the peace and tranquillity and quite welcome the sound of a thousand vuvuzelas.

Amazing! For commercial, maybe needs a type of miniature pathfinder airbag system in case of failure with an auto-deploy mechanism and manual override.

That is too freaking cool!!! I knew as soon as quadcopter drones came out that it wouldn't be long before someone made a GIANT one. AWESOME!!! 😄

I'd sure love to see this traveling over the top of stop and go traffic. Would really make drivers dream.

Yes. The drones finally come of age!!!

That is super sweet. Mini quad chopper.

The battery issue will be fixed soon, but for right now, this would be awesome for building fires and mountain rescues to help people get to safety.

I am drooling over the possibilities and pounding of my heart to fly this. 🥰

in the future everybody got this

This looks sick. A Race in these things would be insane

I can remember growing up in the 60's and 70's and people would talk about having "flying cars" by the year 2000. Well, that never happened...but in 2022...we're closer. That's a cool machine..

Amazing, not some silly jet backpack on your back but an actual flying machine, much respect.

That. Is. AWESOME!

Looks super fun. My personal wish list on something like this would be for an emergency quick parachute dispatch option for rotor failure. I imagine a large bird strike could be pretty scary too.

This guy is definitely very confident of his air transportation vehicle, flying over the hilly, tree covered terrain and power lines as he did.

I like the idea of the roll cage construction. Some shock mitigating design in the seat might be helpful for spinal protection.

This will be a daily nightmare for all the neighbors who have to live with the roar of that thing taking off and landing. If a car was that loud it would be pulled over a towed off.

Whoah!!!... I've not heard of this before,... I've seen jetpacks and thought I'd love a go on those,... but this looks brilliant,... I love it,...

The low level flights you have demonstrated are absolutely incredible. A flight demonstration to 1000 feet AGL or even higher to Showcase a climb right or higher altitude would be amazing! What a great concept!

I worked on an experimental vehicle project for almost five years. I know the challenges very well. After the mechanical stuff worked, the aesthetic part is very cool as well.

I converted my back yard into a helipad for my personal air vehicle. I just finished my personal aerial vehicle course at my local DMV. I passed both the ground school and flight school over the weekend. They just finished installing 5 pads with fast chargers at my job so now I can finally fly to work. I'm so happy not to get caught in traffic anymore. I took a test flight to work yesterday and the app forced me to wait mid flight for about 20 second because it conflicted with another pilot in the area. No big deal... better than waiting 20 minutes on the highway in rush hour because of traffic. Now my wife wants one because she is sick of traffic too. "Imagine"

Looking good.. can’t wait for mine in 2023

An uncontained rotor failure might hurt a little. But very cool to see someone designed this.

Oh hello future, nice to see you!

So this is the bike of next level.

This is awesome. It could use some safety upgrades like a cover from those spinning blades.
