So you have probably heard of the Jetson One:
aerial vehicle, that was a real surprise a couple of years ago. But what’s going on with the Jetson vehicle
now? Today, we want to update you on the information
about this passenger drone, and give some more details about the machine. The drone is still in production, and all
2023 planned chassis are successfully sold out by Jetson Aero. The Swedish company doesn’t reveal all the
information about the buyers. But we can clearly see that most of its clients
are from the US. Also, people from France, Japan, Canada, Sweden,
and even Lichtenstein have already booked their Jetsons. Have you been to Lichtenstein? Where are they going to fly in the country
that you can walk around in 3 hours? So, to book a Jetson One, you will need to
be pretty patient. 48 drones are going to be made and delivered
in 2024, and 45 of them have already been ordered, as of the start of March 2023. By the way, in 2023, the company is planning
to manufacture and deliver, almost 200 Jetson One models. So we believe they will plan new chassis,
as soon as the current batch is booked. When ordering a Jetson One, you will have
to submit an application online, on the official website of the Jetson Aero company. After that, you will have to pay 8 thousand
dollars during the submission of your order. The overall price of the machine is currently
98 thousand dollars. It’s 6 thousand more than it was the previous
year actually. So, let’s just have a quick overview of
the machine. This is the one-person piloted aircraft that
is called the private helicopter, the drone that you sit in, or the real-life Star Wars
Landspeeder, by journalists. The model is piloted with two joysticks, but
we still believe you will need a private pilot license in most countries, to legally use
the Jetson One. One of the biggest problems that people outline
is weight restriction. It’s 210 pounds or 95 kilos. And our subscribers believe that most adult
men in America, will not be able to taste that Jetson flight, due to weight restrictions. We still think it’s a great motivation to
get rid of extra weight! The drone may fly for about 20 minutes at
the speed of 63 miles per hour, or 102 kilometers per hour. It means it can take you to a distance of
about 20 miles before it needs recharging. The service ceiling is 1500 feet, and we can
only imagine what kind of views it can provide you with, unless you are afraid of heights. The cabin is open, and it may be too creepy,
even for those who are not aware now of their phobias. Also, the Jetson One is commonly criticized
for its open propellers. Even if you just watch the test videos, you
will see that those propellers can easily mince anything or anyone around. But adding composite protection to the propellers,
would affect the specs of the machine, and make its weight even heavier, leaving fewer
kilos for the pilot’s body. So, this question of design and safety remains
open. When it comes to safety, the Jetson One, offers
quite a lot. The race-car-inspired safety cell design of
the body, will help during minor issues, while the smart flight computer will assist in avoiding
any kind of collisions. Also, the machine has an emergency ballistic
parachute, that automatically deploys when something goes wrong. As with any modern aerial vehicle, the Jetson
One can safely land and even travel, if one motor fails. The automatic landing makes the end of your
flight pretty simple and enjoyable. This machine is something that will change
the way we see aerial travel. While it won’t affect long travels like
intercity flights, it may change city commuting. It may also be of great help to farmers and
ranch owners. And now we see people really buy these pretty
expensive yet very appealing flying vehicles. So if tomorrow you see your neighbor flying
over your house in such a drone, don’t be too surprised! We still see a lot of disadvantages in such
a vehicle. Most of all, the downsides are connected with
the specs of the Jetson One. But still, it’s a great step forward and
we hope it will make the era of flying vehicles closer for everyone. If you liked this video, give us a like and
