Yes, this is a joke. People WOULD buy them like this, I’m sure. But they would be the kind of people who don’t give a fuck about turning the environment into a screaming loud nightmare. Seeing this flying through the forest doesn’t make me think “wow”, it just makes me think of the fucking stupidity of this idea.
I was also going to say the same thing. Can't beat the sound of a speeder bike from ROTJ but my guess is that it doesn't sound like that that. Nevertheless, this thing is super cool.
Dear Jetson, can we get a video of how it actually sounds while flying? Also, for the love of all that is pure. Design some safety rings around those propellers.
3 things: 1. I would have loved to hear the Jetson fly without the music to experience what it sounds like by itself. 2. The blades need some sort of protective cover and/or a solid ring around them in the event you happen to run into an object like a tree, the ring would at least deflect you away rather than dig the blade in and cause disaster. 3. If not using a protective cover for the blades then at least don't have them at the same level as the pilot, either put them below the craft or above the pilots head in case of a blade failure so the pilot doesn't take any shrapnel. Other than the safety issues this thing is absolutely incredible!
Fan shrouds change the whole dynamic of how the aircraft would fly they also offer engineering issues and aerodynamic issues I hear what you are saying but lets just wait for battery tech to catch up to the vision then that will be more likely.
It definitely needs prop guards with impact sensors so you cant just tilt the blades in to the ground. Like a mandatory level flight mode till a certain altitude.
I'm guessing here but what i think they did was code the avionics computer to only allow a certain amount of tilt at a given altitude and as you go higher it lets you tilt more up to a hard limit that is predetermined to be safe. Much like how the angle of attack limiters work on fixed wing aircraft.
Some of their marketing material shows the vehicle with prop guards attached, so it seems they're aware of this. I think they leave them off in videos because it looks cooler, but in most cases they would indeed be required for safety.
I'm glad I'm alive and get to see things like this become a reality. I just hope that one day I will get to experience something like this for my self. This is incredible!
probably not possible to let untrained people in there. it needs to be fully monitored by AI just giving some limited control to the pilot within a set envelope. Motors also need to be much stronger to react to emergency situation to slow down or change direction quickly.

I'm sure there are many more people like us out there Mark. The things we enjoyed doing and were good at back in the day, augmented by todays tech would have been such fun.

@@marknesselhaus4376 paramotor pilot here, you can fly a trike for sure. No need to wait for this thing. Also with a trike you can fly for hours instead of the 15-20 minute max battery life this thing will have.
Very, very, cool! The one concern I would have: For a "drone-like" vehicle with enough torque to lift a human being, those blades look very exposed: to anyone or anything they happen to come a little too close to. A danger to a passerby being injured by the blades, or a danger to the occupant, if they contact an object which would damage them. As a layman, I don't know how it would affect the aerodynamics, but some kind of safety cage or ring around those blades might prevent some accidents. Well done! Keep innovating!
in this scenario the fragmentarion from the blades is your least concern, you will fall high and quick...nevertheless its a prototype, a polycarbonate transparent windshell will do. Anyway the comercial version must have a Lidar array conected to the flycontroller in order to detect and avoid any obstacle that could break the blades.
There's a lot of things that need solving before vehicles like this are anything more than toys for rich people. Firstly as you say those blades need to be covered, they need to try and reduce the noise as currently these things are extremely loud and sound like race cars, the production costs need to be reduced a lot which can really only be achieved through mass production and lastly and probably most importantly the battery tech. At the moment this thing has a maximum flight time of 20 minutes.
I'm just wondering where these blades go if they hit something and break apart. Seems like a good chance the cockpit could see some shrapnel say in the neck and head region.
Yep, and I’ve seen a video of the back prop on a real heli break off, get caught in the main rotor, then got slung into the cockpit, killing the pilot before he could take off.
I bet everybody will throw some rocks or wood on this freak to crash him. Just imagine this crap flys and your little daughter say i see some strange guy in the forest. Just remember you are alone in forest with this freak....
So cool. The thought of getting into a "bathtub" sized device then lifting off into the air from the wilderness is like a scene from sci-fi or a video game. 👍
@@willwilliamson9580 well, and if that becomes mainstream like scooters are nowadays, the wilderness will not be wilderness anymore, but a loud circus of flying "bathtubs". I actually hate the idea that the calm sky will be spoiled by this ...
Oh, yeah! Exactly what I was thinking! If those, (probably “carbon fiber”), blades hit something solid, (and maybe even not that “solid”), then that “high speed shrapnel” will be a “bloody” nightmare for the pilot!

Since it's electric, the noise is much lower than it would otherwise had been. With proper attention to noise-reduction and the bearings, it could be as noisy as a motorcycle. but I haven't seen any data, so I'm speculating.
@@rocketssss6 Well, to be fair, it very well might be fake. OTOH, admitting that this almost $100k aerial quad only has a battery life of twenty minutes makes it more likely to be true.

This is a great flying machine! Since, this machine is basically a drone model without any wings, of course, I would advise you to attach a parachute to it too so that you can fly higher. This would be good, in case the prop motors failed, you could still land safely!
yes. basick 450mm drones fly about 5 minutes. and if i would try to lift my 3kg cat i would need maybe like a 1500mm copter to fly the same 5 mins and this jetson have invisible batteries carrying a human so it must only fly like 30 sec lol
All i could think about is one knick of a tree branch and those props are gonna impale his ass. No way i would get in that thing without better protection incase of blade failure. Although, I do get it it needs to be as light as possible but if it can't have proper protection its a law suit waiting to happen if he lets anyone else fly it.
That seating position doesn’t look so comfortable, but that definitely doesn’t deter my interest in a personal quadcopter! If we could just get these out for mass consumption and at affordable pricing, but we know That ain’t gonna happen, Cap’n.
If I was younger and or won the lottery, I would be involved in the development and marketing of that and other evolutions of the Jetson. It is the future!!
Makes me wish I were younger so I could live to see the day when personal flight is a reality for all. I always say my motorcycle is the closest I can get to flying without leaving the ground. This thing is the next evolutionary step. Love it.
@@atlas8rides well when the price go down my guess is you'll be able to rent them by the hour. I hope this will be coming in the next 10 years. What worries me is how this is going to work with lot of people flying at the same time. Sky is big, but still...
You should try FPV with carbon miniquads. Not real flying but the perception is out of this world and the fact that you have a real object out there only adds to the realism and fact that you need to be in control. After you master that you'll know how to fly one of these.

Why? They are trying to take away your car; you think they'll let you own your own quadcopter? you'll need to save up an awful lot of Commie Social Credits for a flight in one, let alone private ownership.
@@pierrepucheu Computer-generated imagery (CGI) - Tech technology that is used to let this thing look like it flyies that good. Maybee it is able to fly, but there are some scenes in this video where gci was used for sure. Which brings me to the question. Why use gci when it can fly without it.
Who else saw the Ewok hiding at the right side in the wood? ;] PS: the extra Lawnmower-Mode in the end gives this invention an extra bonus to sell it successfully to ordinary people 👍🏼
It's a real life Star Wars Speeder. Wow. It's kind of incredible. Not sure how safe it is though. It definitely looks very fun. I'm sure later models will be much improved from the early versions.
Learned how to fly FPV late 2014, the movement of this quadcopter reminds me of the early flight controllers that often had a bit of PID bounce to them regardless of how good the tune was. If this project continues to mimc the timeline of PFV technology development we should see some amazing stuff in the next few years. Not that this isn't amazing, it is as amazing as FPV was back then and it will become more and more amazing as firms like this continue to develop the tech.
It's a lousy electric helicopter with a 20 minute flight time and a service ceiling of like 30 feet. It's like the people amazed by billionaires almost going into outer space. We've had stuff like this since the 60s.
I've built my own "quad-copter" and flew it around at the park. This jetson design just makes sense, and it's amazing, although my biggest fear would be clipping a prop and either falling out of the sky because of it, or having prop chunks flying at me at a million miles per hour just before the entire machine falls straight to the ground. Other than that this is a very awesome machine, depending on how long the battery lasts 😆.
Propeller guards (i.e., safety rings) would make it safer and potentially increase lift efficiency (assuming that the weight doesn't outweigh the benefit) and can avoid damage to the propeller or chopping a pedestrian's arm or head off!
Yes, I really can't understand why this isn't using ducted fans. It's just begging for a prop to catch a tree branch, pilot's arm, random person's head when flying so close to the ground even the ground if landing or taking off with a sudden gust to tilt it. Carbon fiber would hardly add significant weight.
It's so fortunate that you chimed in with that brilliant advice. Surely it never even entered the designer's mind. Now that you blessed the world with your helpful suggestion, maybe now this amazing invention can finally be completed and a colossal oversight will be corrected. Any other tips for these struggling engineers and designers? Or you can just lead by example by demonstrating your own amazing flying machine which, no doubt, has all of that oversight ironed out.
Prop or rotor guards usually decrease efficiency in my experience with them on boat props and small drone rotors (Yes I know this isn't a drone). While I agree they are safer and offer protection to the rotors I am unsure if they'd be more efficient overall???
Aw yes nothing more relaxing then having spinning blades near my legs while flying down narrow path in woods where if I clip a tree I could crash and die. Refreshing!
Looks cool and really really dangerous :) Those blades would get me nervous, hit something.. blade breaks and now you got a blade sticking in your chest before you hit the ground.
@@Anythingforfreedom It's a glorified surface effect vehicle. If it offered true flight, as did the Moller 400 of almost 20 years ago, it might be something. But you are literally flying at 40-60mph through a forest logging trail. And you are not making silly George Jetson noises but George Lucas Star Wars Speeder Bike ones. Which just shows you how stupid this concept is. Fly ABOVE the trees, not through them. Now your collision risk goes down. Now your point to point (shortest line) route efficiencies go up. Now, if there is a failure, you have time to deploy a rocket boosted parachute drogue to bring it in on a glide chute. Now, if the rotors are big enough, you can auto rotate, gliding in on forward motion while the rotors slowly spool down and then pulling everything as you PICK YOUR CLEARING. In this mode, if something goes wrong, you are literally at the mercy of reflexes and local left/right flora and topography choices. Which means you are gonna die eating that welded airframe shoved through your sternum or when the thing rolls and snaps your spine. Perhaps the ultimate stupidity of this (and all other, all-electric) systems is that _we do not have the Base Load_ to charge all these electric vehicles. We don't even have the capacitance to go a single day without solar on homes or breeze through a wind turbine. Both of which are supremely vulnerable and costly, in their own right. But if we had pushed Moller technology, we would have gotten 25mpg efficiencies in a 3-4 seat vehicle which COULD honestly fly. And because it could do so at 180mph, you wouldn't instead be measuring your ICE efficiencies by how manu minutes you spent in gridlock, at 2-10mph. That will save huge amounts of fuel burn and pollution while allowing the introduction of motors whose power is beyond any battery based system. If you really want to do this, you also need to completely redesign your cities so that you have green belts where these things can run, full out, without a crash causing massive casualties under the impact footprint. And you need a GPS/autohover/transitional-flight/cruise automation to do ALL the flying because this isn't like driving a car. You either have the intuitive air-sense or you don't. And about 70% of humanity are not intuitive pilots. Lacking the stereoscopy and the balance centers to handle 4D maneuvering. While novices will not be able to learn like it's a DCS simulator because there is no inertial, seat of pants, cue when staring at a screen. So much of what this suggests _is possible_, but you had better have a really good idea of how to implement it because, without micro-fusial cores and repulsorlift technology, we are CENTURIES from Star Wars. Start by halting the mass invasion of our country by literally MILLIONS of low function, high criminality, high TFR, multi-generational welfare parasites. Continue on by cutting the defense budget IN HALF. And use the savings from those two actions to apply serious (50 billion a year) funding to your dreams. But don't think that this is your ticket to becoming a Jedi as you swoosh through the forest in search of Princess Leia. It's got to be bigger, bolder, and more comprehensive than that.
Totally awesome !! Looks and flys like a "speederbike" from Star Wars flying through the forests of Endor !! And @ 53 sec it even sounds like one !! Sweeeeeet !!
@@manns101101 not necesarily. If you fly drones you know that's exactly how they sound, just quieter. So... scale it up, and this is what you have. Not saying definitely, but it's using the same brushless motors we use in our drones, just bigger so definitely possible it's the real sound. But they DEFINITELY don't sound anything like a lawnmower.
The one thing that is paramount when operating machinery, SAFETY. As much as this looks awesome imagine sitting in this surrounded by blades at ridiculous speeds like a large blender. Just give it a second to think of the endless ways you could get chopped up. Shields would be a good idea fellas!!!!!

Imagine walking peacefully in the forest one morning and you hear this loud buzz saw getting louder as it whizzes by you - aww the sounds of nature maybe next you guys could fly through church on Sunday

@@KwaddawK you are spot on. If we never messed with nature. They would not be able to build it. As a retired roofer I like the smell of hot asphalt. It smells like money to me.
A clever person could build a better but similar machine for about a third of the cost. That doesn't include the labor of design and construction though. That's my plan. I think I can build a better machine (longer flight times, less noise) for about $30k.
@@cocochanel9291 if you owned a more expensive drone like say the DJI Mavic 2 Pro you may notice that it doesn’t have prop guards. Why do you think that is?
@@cocochanel9291 if you hit a tree going 63 miles an hour what do you think a bit of metal tubing is going to do besides cause more damage to the vehicle? That’s why it’s designed with a triple redundancy flight monitoring system and LiDAR sensors all over it. To remain in the Ultra Light class where a pilots license is not needed the vehicle needs to be under 250lbs and a bunch of added UNNECESSARY steel tubing would not bode well for this as they are already close enough and are only squeezing 20 minutes of flight time from the lithium that’s on board. But great observation there smart guy. Your obviously a helicopter engineer maybe you should send them your resume.
Pretty skeptical here about their claims for flight time and weight. They say the craft is 190 pounds, and can carry a 210 pound pilot (I presume this would include the parachute, and any other stuff). So, that's 400 pounds (181 kg). A large drone typically uses 200-300 KW per kg. This varies greatly, obviously, mainly with how large and efficient the rotors are. But, with those small rotors (relative to vehicle size), I'm not so sure I'd believe they can go much lower on the KW per kg ratio. So, anyway, if we take it right down the middle of that range at 250 KW / kg, this gives us numbers that align quite well with the website's power output claim 88KW (I'm calculating that they'll need a power consumption around 83KW, which is pretty close to the 88 KW they claim, so I'm guessing that I'm in the right neighborhood on my assumptions). But, here's the rub: it seems they'd need a far heavier battery than they're claiming. They say they're using lithium ion batteries, right? Well, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide is basically the most energy dense form of that, with a maximum of about .22 KWh per kg (battery weight). So, to run for 20 minutes, that means the battery needs to produce about 30 KWh. This means the battery must weigh 136 kg (300 pounds). That's 50% more than the claimed entire weight of the craft itself (190 pounds). I just can't seem to make this math fit. Now, I'll grant anybody, they probably don't need to run at full power all the time, so there will be some energy savings there. But, even to just suspend somebody in the air, you're talking about burning a lot of energy, not too far below the maximum output. The flipside of that is that I'm granting them the most energy dense lithium battery form you can get, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, which is not exactly stable and safe. And, the weights I calculated do not even include any sort of battery protection capsule. So, I suspect the real energy density is even lower than I'm granting them. And, they're claiming that they can operate this craft at an altitude above 1500 feet. I mean, how fast are they saying this thing can climb? If you've only got 20 minutes of flight time, are you really going to go to +1500 feet? Can you get up there fast enough and have enough energy remaining to land the thing? Anyway, I'm making a bunch of assumptions here... the first of which is that I even did the math correctly. One of my degrees is in mathematics, so I'd hope I did it right, but, I'm not exactly immune to making blunders. But, beyond that, I'm also assuming quite a bit about how efficient those propellers could be. But, the interesting thing is that they don't actually spell out the weight of the battery, nor the exact battery type. I wonder if that's by design, so people like me can't actually do the exact math. But, just using my round estimates based on the math here, and my assumptions (whether right or wrong), I'd say the flight time is more like 3 or 4 minutes, not 20 minutes. Would anybody care to chime in and fact-check me, and point out any mistakes I made?
I'm pretty sure we need some fairly insane strides in technology before we have batteries that make these type of craft even remotely viable for your average person. The day those strides are made is the day we will see these become marketable - until then there's obvious reasons why only a select few people get to operate them. Would you really want to pay so much money for such short journeys in your gimmickmobile that is restricted from anywhere that isn't private? I wouldn't personally. But good on those who take baby steps necessary for progress of course.
@@BobGnarley. Well, if people just want to fly around for a while in a personal vehicle, we have paramotors and ultralights. And, those are not limited to just a few minutes. They have the benefit of a wing or para-wing to help keep them aloft, thus burning a tiny fraction of energy of a drone-type vehicle. These flying personal vehicles based on drones don't have that. No wing. No "glide" capability. So, they burn energy like crazy just to stay aloft. And, paramotors or ultralights are a fraction of the cost.
no parachute going to save u from 8 blades around u spinning hundreds mph while falling to your death. The blades will get u and the parachute. Ever see pilots on those small personal planes that been out for decades use parachute and they only have one propeller and literally have plenty of space to jump anywhere. Maybe Ya should ask Kobe Bryan and his kids. Ignorants people in talking parachute when this “toy” only fly about 20ft high when parachutes minimum requires 5000ft at least to open and by the time u carry a hundreds pounds parachute they going to have to build a newer model because this one is too weak to carry anything because it’s a toy not a commuter aircraft to carry your kitchen appliances

Nice and all but the only big problem is the small flight time, of only 15 minutes. Wish something could be done about this. If it could fly for at least 2 hours then it would really start becoming a transportation device.
Best solution: they make the battery packs modular, so that they can be upgraded in the future as power density increases, as well as including a few empty battery pack bays.

It definitely needs prop guards with impact sensors so you cant just tilt the blades in to the ground. Like a mandatory level flight mode till a certain altitude.
I'm guessing here but what i think they did was code the avionics computer to only allow a certain amount of tilt at a given altitude and as you go higher it lets you tilt more up to a hard limit that is predetermined to be safe. Much like how the angle of attack limiters work on fixed wing aircraft.

@@marknesselhaus4376 paramotor pilot here, you can fly a trike for sure. No need to wait for this thing. Also with a trike you can fly for hours instead of the 15-20 minute max battery life this thing will have.
Very, very, cool! The one concern I would have: For a "drone-like" vehicle with enough torque to lift a human being, those blades look very exposed: to anyone or anything they happen to come a little too close to. A danger to a passerby being injured by the blades, or a danger to the occupant, if they contact an object which would damage them. As a layman, I don't know how it would affect the aerodynamics, but some kind of safety cage or ring around those blades might prevent some accidents. Well done! Keep innovating!
There is nothing wrong with the Face Chipper -- it is new dawn of man.
delamination of carbon props comes to mind ..
in this scenario the fragmentarion from the blades is your least concern, you will fall high and quick...nevertheless its a prototype, a polycarbonate transparent windshell will do. Anyway the comercial version must have a Lidar array conected to the flycontroller in order to detect and avoid any obstacle that could break the blades.
Considering these are just prototypes. I'm sure they've already considered that.
There's a lot of things that need solving before vehicles like this are anything more than toys for rich people. Firstly as you say those blades need to be covered, they need to try and reduce the noise as currently these things are extremely loud and sound like race cars, the production costs need to be reduced a lot which can really only be achieved through mass production and lastly and probably most importantly the battery tech. At the moment this thing has a maximum flight time of 20 minutes.
Why not protected blades? Or ducted? Seems like a big single point of failure.
Yeah im wondering the same. Maybe the efficiency goes down or it gets to heavy?
Yup they should do something about it.
Is a prototype

This is a great flying machine! Since, this machine is basically a drone model without any wings, of course, I would advise you to attach a parachute to it too so that you can fly higher. This would be good, in case the prop motors failed, you could still land safely!
yes. basick 450mm drones fly about 5 minutes. and if i would try to lift my 3kg cat i would need maybe like a 1500mm copter to fly the same 5 mins and this jetson have invisible batteries carrying a human so it must only fly like 30 sec lol

Propeller guards (i.e., safety rings) would make it safer and potentially increase lift efficiency (assuming that the weight doesn't outweigh the benefit) and can avoid damage to the propeller or chopping a pedestrian's arm or head off!
Yes, I really can't understand why this isn't using ducted fans. It's just begging for a prop to catch a tree branch, pilot's arm, random person's head when flying so close to the ground even the ground if landing or taking off with a sudden gust to tilt it. Carbon fiber would hardly add significant weight.
It's so fortunate that you chimed in with that brilliant advice. Surely it never even entered the designer's mind. Now that you blessed the world with your helpful suggestion, maybe now this amazing invention can finally be completed and a colossal oversight will be corrected. Any other tips for these struggling engineers and designers? Or you can just lead by example by demonstrating your own amazing flying machine which, no doubt, has all of that oversight ironed out.
That's what I don't like about it. Those blades look dangerous to birds.
Prop or rotor guards usually decrease efficiency in my experience with them on boat props and small drone rotors (Yes I know this isn't a drone). While I agree they are safer and offer protection to the rotors I am unsure if they'd be more efficient overall???
@@neonshoji And here I was thinking it was a production model, not a promo using the prototype, .lol.

@@Anythingforfreedom
It's a glorified surface effect vehicle. If it offered true flight, as did the Moller 400 of almost 20 years ago, it might be something. But you are literally flying at 40-60mph through a forest logging trail. And you are not making silly George Jetson noises but George Lucas Star Wars Speeder Bike ones.
Which just shows you how stupid this concept is.
Fly ABOVE the trees, not through them. Now your collision risk goes down. Now your point to point (shortest line) route efficiencies go up. Now, if there is a failure, you have time to deploy a rocket boosted parachute drogue to bring it in on a glide chute. Now, if the rotors are big enough, you can auto rotate, gliding in on forward motion while the rotors slowly spool down and then pulling everything as you PICK YOUR CLEARING.
In this mode, if something goes wrong, you are literally at the mercy of reflexes and local left/right flora and topography choices. Which means you are gonna die eating that welded airframe shoved through your sternum or when the thing rolls and snaps your spine.
Perhaps the ultimate stupidity of this (and all other, all-electric) systems is that _we do not have the Base Load_ to charge all these electric vehicles. We don't even have the capacitance to go a single day without solar on homes or breeze through a wind turbine. Both of which are supremely vulnerable and costly, in their own right.
But if we had pushed Moller technology, we would have gotten 25mpg efficiencies in a 3-4 seat vehicle which COULD honestly fly. And because it could do so at 180mph, you wouldn't instead be measuring your ICE efficiencies by how manu minutes you spent in gridlock, at 2-10mph. That will save huge amounts of fuel burn and pollution while allowing the introduction of motors whose power is beyond any battery based system.
If you really want to do this, you also need to completely redesign your cities so that you have green belts where these things can run, full out, without a crash causing massive casualties under the impact footprint. And you need a GPS/autohover/transitional-flight/cruise automation to do ALL the flying because this isn't like driving a car.
You either have the intuitive air-sense or you don't. And about 70% of humanity are not intuitive pilots. Lacking the stereoscopy and the balance centers to handle 4D maneuvering. While novices will not be able to learn like it's a DCS simulator because there is no inertial, seat of pants, cue when staring at a screen.
So much of what this suggests _is possible_, but you had better have a really good idea of how to implement it because, without micro-fusial cores and repulsorlift technology, we are CENTURIES from Star Wars.
Start by halting the mass invasion of our country by literally MILLIONS of low function, high criminality, high TFR, multi-generational welfare parasites. Continue on by cutting the defense budget IN HALF. And use the savings from those two actions to apply serious (50 billion a year) funding to your dreams.
But don't think that this is your ticket to becoming a Jedi as you swoosh through the forest in search of Princess Leia. It's got to be bigger, bolder, and more comprehensive than that.

отличная идея вездехода! и на колёсах экономия! ))
Pretty skeptical here about their claims for flight time and weight. They say the craft is 190 pounds, and can carry a 210 pound pilot (I presume this would include the parachute, and any other stuff). So, that's 400 pounds (181 kg). A large drone typically uses 200-300 KW per kg. This varies greatly, obviously, mainly with how large and efficient the rotors are. But, with those small rotors (relative to vehicle size), I'm not so sure I'd believe they can go much lower on the KW per kg ratio. So, anyway, if we take it right down the middle of that range at 250 KW / kg, this gives us numbers that align quite well with the website's power output claim 88KW (I'm calculating that they'll need a power consumption around 83KW, which is pretty close to the 88 KW they claim, so I'm guessing that I'm in the right neighborhood on my assumptions).
But, here's the rub: it seems they'd need a far heavier battery than they're claiming. They say they're using lithium ion batteries, right? Well, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide is basically the most energy dense form of that, with a maximum of about .22 KWh per kg (battery weight). So, to run for 20 minutes, that means the battery needs to produce about 30 KWh. This means the battery must weigh 136 kg (300 pounds). That's 50% more than the claimed entire weight of the craft itself (190 pounds). I just can't seem to make this math fit.
Now, I'll grant anybody, they probably don't need to run at full power all the time, so there will be some energy savings there. But, even to just suspend somebody in the air, you're talking about burning a lot of energy, not too far below the maximum output. The flipside of that is that I'm granting them the most energy dense lithium battery form you can get, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, which is not exactly stable and safe. And, the weights I calculated do not even include any sort of battery protection capsule. So, I suspect the real energy density is even lower than I'm granting them.
And, they're claiming that they can operate this craft at an altitude above 1500 feet. I mean, how fast are they saying this thing can climb? If you've only got 20 minutes of flight time, are you really going to go to +1500 feet? Can you get up there fast enough and have enough energy remaining to land the thing?
Anyway, I'm making a bunch of assumptions here... the first of which is that I even did the math correctly. One of my degrees is in mathematics, so I'd hope I did it right, but, I'm not exactly immune to making blunders. But, beyond that, I'm also assuming quite a bit about how efficient those propellers could be. But, the interesting thing is that they don't actually spell out the weight of the battery, nor the exact battery type. I wonder if that's by design, so people like me can't actually do the exact math. But, just using my round estimates based on the math here, and my assumptions (whether right or wrong), I'd say the flight time is more like 3 or 4 minutes, not 20 minutes. Would anybody care to chime in and fact-check me, and point out any mistakes I made?
I'm pretty sure we need some fairly insane strides in technology before we have batteries that make these type of craft even remotely viable for your average person. The day those strides are made is the day we will see these become marketable - until then there's obvious reasons why only a select few people get to operate them. Would you really want to pay so much money for such short journeys in your gimmickmobile that is restricted from anywhere that isn't private? I wouldn't personally. But good on those who take baby steps necessary for progress of course.

Well, if people just want to fly around for a while in a personal vehicle, we have paramotors and ultralights. And, those are not limited to just a few minutes. They have the benefit of a wing or para-wing to help keep them aloft, thus burning a tiny fraction of energy of a drone-type vehicle. These flying personal vehicles based on drones don't have that. No wing. No "glide" capability. So, they burn energy like crazy just to stay aloft. And, paramotors or ultralights are a fraction of the cost.
no parachute going to save u from 8 blades around u spinning hundreds mph while falling to your death. The blades will get u and the parachute. Ever see pilots on those small personal planes that been out for decades use parachute and they only have one propeller and literally have plenty of space to jump anywhere. Maybe Ya should ask Kobe Bryan and his kids. Ignorants people in talking parachute when this “toy” only fly about 20ft high when parachutes minimum requires 5000ft at least to open and by the time u carry a hundreds pounds parachute they going to have to build a newer model because this one is too weak to carry anything because it’s a toy not a commuter aircraft to carry your kitchen appliances
Parachute. Wtf
@@docholladay7638
They say on their website: "Ballistic parachute with rapid deployment time." They don't elaborate.
Brooo can't wait till we can race these things on a track or something imagine the speed of development and innovations!
Formula Drones
Nascar has been planing racing drones w/pilot since early 2000s and I think a race is scheduled for 2024.
Imagine one of the blades broke when you hit something and it stuck in your neck.
2drsdan will likely be closed cockpit lmao
Sounds so damn dangerous
Jetson, you are legends ! This is so awesome, really. Keep up the good work, this is just the beginning ! 🤙
Fantasy !!!
Fully designed and built by a Polish engineer in Sweden. Kudos! Great collab between Poland and Sweden, greetings from Australia! I'll get one to chase some kangaroos.

The Outback rancher would be a perfect application of this tech. ☮️💙🙏
@@scottslotterbeck3796 really??
@@charlielynes I can imagine flying these beasts alongside brissy coastline;) I think it is slightly more comfy than that french jet pack that crossed la manche

That almost instant take off is insane... Why are we not seeing more of the capabilities though? Ok, it can fly straight... I wanna see how this can bank..climb..maneuver.
thats what im sayin
why? its a transport vehicle, not a fighter jet
@@JetSkiSuper7 do you really think he built that thing with the only ability to flight straight? It's a quadrocopter, of course it can maneuver
The future of travel, I want one no more sitting in traffic 😊🐝🦋
Cant waite to see more content of this. Great work on the design. Really unique.
Like how they always show these videos with music cranked to 200% so you can't hear how freaking loud this thing must be.
You just edit the sound out completely and replace with music, no need to adjust volume.
I like how fast the lift-off is once you start it up. Great work!
Return of the jedi and Johnny Cage's fight with scorpion immediately comes to mind in some parts😊
Magnifique🙏🎬🔥🍃
This is exactly what we need to avoid traffic congestion on our roads.
Not worth the noise pollution.
@@ThatOpalGuy Wear ear plugs
@@coal_edxts Absolutely!
Nice and all but the only big problem is the small flight time, of only 15 minutes. Wish something could be done about this. If it could fly for at least 2 hours then it would really start becoming a transportation device.
For now there is nothing that power dense other than jet fuel, and by the time you add that, the weight and size increases.
That is like telling the Wright brothers to "don't bother"
Best solution: they make the battery packs modular, so that they can be upgraded in the future as power density increases, as well as including a few empty battery pack bays.
That's called an airplane 😂
@@MHTutorials3D lots of people told the Wright Brothers to stop, that it was stupid, it can't be done, people are not meant to fly, to not bother. We are where we are today because they proved the haters to be wrong.
looks as reliable as a flying coffin 😢
Impressive.
Terrifying but impressive.
