In every video they obfuscate the sound, probably because you could work out that the off-the-shelf motors and propellers are absolutely maxed out, and are only borderline capable of maneuvering with weight of a person onboard
The Jetson ONE is the most exciting aircraft I've ever seen! I've been a pilot for over 40 years and an Airline Pilot for more than 30 years; if I could fly only one more aircraft before I die, it would be this.
Unless you have flown a Harrier or F/A-18E, F-16, A-10 or SR-71 you are setting your bucket list pretty low. But to each their own. My bet is this: If there was an A-10 fully fueled on the ramp and this multirotor on the ramp and you were cleared through and into a MOA, low level route or gun range outside of Tuscon(Davis Mothan AFB), my bet is, unless one flew attack/CAS fighter-bombers, almost every swinging dick that still has some lead in their pencil would jump into the Warthog. Now maybe you have flown fast-movers or the like and this may be a bucket list deal.
They are cool as hell. I just don't see them going anywhere until technology can provide a light weight battery. It's kind of the down side of EV cars. The battery adds about 1000 lbs to the weight. I have an EV so I'm familiar with the batteries.

I salute to the great team and company for making this Jetson ONE . a truly a marvelous personal flying vehicle. Keep up the great work and wish to hear good news on your next product.
It would be nice to hear the sound of engines and propellers. I would love to try flying this machine. I wish you much happiness and success in your work👏👏👏
So like right around the same time they say the first plane? What's your point? Batteries store much less energy per lb than gasoline and weight is one of the most important aspects of flight.
As I am a Mechanical Design Engineer as well as pilot of 3 types of aircraft, you have an excellent design as far as the video reflects. I would love to see it in person. Please improve the pilot safety with the orientation of the blades. I am truly impressed so far. Bravo!
I am no mechanical design engineer but i would suggest some kind of cover/ protection for the props. Also in my eyes at least 6 of them in case one fails to still fly safely.
I remember back when I was in school in the seventies and eighties people were talking about flying cars by the year 2000 , I think it is about time someone is finally making a dream a reality.
Flying cars have been around since 1947. But back in the 1960s, my aeronautical engineer dad explained to me why they will never be practical. He's still right. This thing will never will be anything more than a toy. It'll never be in the air for more than 20 minutes before it has to re-charge.
Great idea at this point from my perspective there is only one thing that is missing and that is a deployable parachute like the ones Put on ultralight aircraft in the event of a catastrophic failure.
This is the first practical "flying car" i've seen in my lifetime. I can see me using something like this to go to a friend's house for a visit - from my backyard to their backyard. Wonderful job.
Sadly, government bureaucracy and regulations will TIE THIS UP that it will never see the light of day. Hell, they are already trying to uber-control the drones. They'd have a hey-day with this.
@@GeoffKidder-kt6mx it's a paraglider not a parachute, but yeah it should also have a reserve parachute in case something goes wrong with the wing, not everyone can afford paramotors
People don’t respect each other on the road. They definitely don’t deserve to be in the AIR. Side swiping, brake checking, shooting, trying to cause accidents on purpose, holding up traffic on purpose??? Nah, let the devils stay where they BELONG
People can hardly drive on the road much less flying these things around. The fatality rate would skyrocket! They'd have to implement some sort of safety device so that if you were approaching ANY object while in the air, the craft would automatically stay at least 5 feet from it. For example, if you tried your hardest to fly into a tree, the terrain warning system would not allow you to do so. If manufacturers like Boeing wanted to create something like this, they could do wonders with it. It would cost $1M or more though....
Flight time 60minutes? I’d rather say 6minutes... Governments despite forcing all this ECO electric BS are making almost impossible for people to even use electric scooters!!! And you are talking that this will change the world? Never going to happen! It will be a toy for millionaires who will want to add this to their collection after a private jet and helicopter... Normal people and middle class should stay at home and shouldn’t even go out nor have a car - that’s the goal for today’s world...
As a skier this could be a game changer for backcountry skiing. Fly to the top of the mountain, ski down while the craft is flying autonomously to where you took off.
How would this handle one of the motors failing in flight? Honestly curious what the procedure would be to land relatively safely when stuff goes wrong!
“Please keep hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times unless waving to to chick photographing you.” Even knowing where those props are exactly I wouldn’t risk that one. I like my hands attached the way that they are.
I can see your aspect for safety, but that would impede the lift needed for flight by restricting airflow. The same reason there are no safety cages around helicopter blades. Unless it was a ring around the outer portion, such as a kort nozzle around a boat prop.
very nice project. did you consider replacement of half of the battery weight (i.e. 30kg) with fuel tank (i.e. 20kg) and turbine electric generator (i.e. 10kg)? or scale change to two seater in similar configuration?
The good news is that the door has now been opened.. going forward, competition will ultimately result in performance improvements, and lower cost.. win/win!
certo, soprattutto se per qualsiasi motivo l'elica ti affetta una parte del corpo, a chi guida o ad un'altra persona che non c'entra niente. Magari il collo .. prova a pensare un attimo e a sentire il dolore e poi tutto il sangue che esce e tu che muori .. Allora penserai, si ecco il futuro che è arrivato !
Its a great toy that I'd definitely fly. The problem is that companies like this think they are trying to solve an urban flying transport system problem. Thats misguided because product liability, airspace constraints, tricky weather conditions and the fundamental problem of battery energy density. Batteries will never suddenly get 10x capacity and flying with rotors is very inefficient if you have a wing its 3x more efficient but even then its not viable. So I'd concentrate on making it an extreme sport toy first and then go from there.
@@MrWizard209 Dude can i have some of that crack you are smoking? A racing drone without a pilot have flight time of about 2-3 min. to simulate you onboard a jetson you can Put a thick bony stake of beef and an inc of poo on top of it and your flight time is 30 sec This jetson have only clips of it hovering nearly static and they are clipped every 5 secs for a reason.
I think that such systems woul be awesome as public transport along coastal areas. Imagine taking a aircraft taxi like this along the coast in california. That would be fucking awesome. It would also be great for tourism/sightseeing, again, in coastal areas.
I would never be able to afford that, but I've been watching for 2 years. If you ever need a test pilot in the US I would be gracious enough to do it simply because I believe in your technology and I know that you got a great product. Surpassing everybody in Japan and Dubai. If you ever make it the states I would love an opportunity to fly it. I've flown every mini quad for the past 5 years that I can get my hand on I've got four iterations of the Holy Stone your product looks amazing. I know it's a pipe dream but if you get to the states I would love to fly it.
Look at helicopters or propeller planes. I think there's not much room to decrease noise without decreasing also the flow rate. The physical limits of fans/ propellers/ pumps are already pretty well researched. Propeller planes or drones are using their propeller designs for good reason.
And another "i wish i was rich" videos. Looks damn cool, although it will be reserved for very few people, and rich too. People can barely drive a car, this isn't just going to be at your local vehicle shop anytime soon. But i can see a lot of potential for it, if you think about more remote areas, mountains, forest etc... Keep it up! Hope you get to where you want to get to with these !
I love the idea of this so much and I almost jumped at the opportunity to own one. However, twenty minutes of flight time, 1 hour charge time, pilot can’t weigh over 210lbs (which means I’m out) and only a top speed of 63mph at a price tag of $90k plus…can’t justify spending that.
@@paultruesdale7680 yes absolutely, I’m sure they’ll eventually double the flight time. Sadly even I double my current gym time, I still won’t be able to get below 210. I’m 6-2, 231lbs and lean. Maybe they’ll design a husky size.
Looks so cool! I notice however that when it comes in for landing, at 2:06, you first add a "hope-you're-not-epileptic"-strobe and then you cut away the actual touchdown. Still got some work to do on that? :)
If there's one thing I would say that is needed, if only for the general public's peace-of-mind, it is light-weight (perforated?) propeller guards of some kind. They would protect against accidental damage to the propellers on landing as well as add an obvious safety margin for the pilot. I'd love to fly this one day soon!
i see those blade protectors are still not there, going for the dramatic "waiting for one of those blades to break and see what happens" effect from the crowd.
When I see a video of one of these at more than treetop height, then I'll take it seriously. As it stands right now, it's in the same boat as the Moller Sky Car, and the Terrafugia, gimmicks that'll never see mass production!.
One part of me says, "this is the coolest thing ever!!'. Another side of me says, "wingless, rudderless, 8 uncontained whirring blades of death, what could possibly go wrong?"
@@peteg1696 Helicopters can still safely land even with a total loss of power, while this (I think?) can't. But I would still gladly risk my life to fly one of those.

Except if the frame is made out of cardboard, the bones will be broken before the current frame is destroyed. I cannot imagine how this could improved noticeably. I agree that it needs propeller guards.
adding guards will significantly reduce performance. and bumping into things with prop guards as if it is a toy drone is not okay anyway. best to focus on avoiding that possibility, rather than making training wheels for it. With that thought process, we would only have boogie boards, not surf boards, and training wheels on all motorcycles. absurd.
@@kgm5868 Fact: there’s never been a manned-drone video uploaded to TH-cam where the comment section isn’t cluttered with clowns saying the rotors should have safety guards. The fact is that every airplane ever built with a propeller has the same danger. Dopes who would get near one when it’s turning have to be held away (at gunpoint if necessary) at all times and aviation has been like that for at least 120 years.
A protection ring is missing around the propellers, not only because of the surrounding objects that would get stuck, but also because of the better use of the direction of the jet of air that pushes. Everything else is beautiful.
Impressive. Please add shrouds around the props. That would provide some protect in case of collision and if properly shaped, should provide some ducted fan effect for a tiny bit of additional lift.
That sure was some creative editing right at the moment of landing. You're going to have to be transparent about the mechanics involved if you want the public to trust you.
Landing and taking off should be a single button action. Once the vehicle is below 100’ and in the general area pressing a “LAND” button should land it automatically. The technology certainly exists. There’s no need to add human error into the process. I don’t see how this wouldn’t be easily achievable
@@savedfaves Honestly, you see how hard it is for people to drive cars, there's no way people are going to be able to fly cars in three dimensions. Autopilot is the only way flying cars will be mainstream.
do you see them on a 4 wheeler? or a regular drone? not really.. when you are dealing with things like this, or other recreational vehicles. you are dealing with extremes.. push any of these vehicles past their limit and you can get hurt.. if the blades scare you maybe a simple net like on a nascar window would satisfy you... or better yet.. dont get in or around one if safety is your #1 concern.. because machines break.. and people get hurt all the time.. even on something as simple as a skate board..
Finally a VTOL to park next to the car. Helicopters always have these parking problems because of the oversized main rotor. But this cool manned drone here is very compact agile and fast! Awesome. I think this will be the future of flying and the classic helicopter design will be a thing of the past in the oncoming 10-20 years.
Okay, cool. Just a few questions: how long is the flight time? I already know it cost more than a car, so what is the price? Any licenses required? How much can it lift (pounds)? All positive...
Just keep developing. If I had the money I would get one. It's a desirable product and the best version of the flying cart concept I have seen so far. 👌
I love the concept, and the apparent flight stability and control. However, I know it will add weight, but jeez, your sitting next 8 whirling blades. Did you guys think it might be worthwhile to shroud those guillotine's your sitting next to??? It might even generate more lift if you shroud the blades, and create a ducted fan.
@@ITWUT A typical aircraft has vertical swinging props, that in most cases are not sitting a few inches from your cockpit or passenger compartment, as is illustrated by this really cool air vehicle. The safety issues related the very close proximity of fast spinning blades, without some type of blade off containment shroud is asking for trouble. I worked in high velocity projectile containment with GE Engines at the University of Dayton. The velocity of turbine fan blades breaking off from usually bird strikes is roughly 1100 to 1400 feet per second, or about the speed of a 9mm or .40 cal pistol round. If that vehicle were my project ,I would incorporate ultra light weight carbon/kevlar/PU shrouds around the blades. Blade off caused aircraft deaths are not discussed with news outlets, and are usually just typified as " engine failure". I want one these though.
Yep, turbines are shrouded. Props are not. I totally agree that a blade departure is a negative event, and that the pilot occupies ~20% of the possible departure pathway. As illustrated above the pilot is sitting in the cockpit and wearing a protective helmet, further reducing direct exposure to what, 5%? And I'd guess both of are capable of protecting the pilot from an ejected carbon prop blade, which is not anywhere near the energy of a turbine blade, but still dramatic surely. Loss of control would my primary concern and I'd love to see how the control code handles that. As it is, these short, limited flights make me think that they might be right on the edge performance wise, or they'd be showing it.. I say they rushed to get out front, and if they can take advantage of the sales to drive engineering then they did a good thing -because I can assure you that these are fixing to start flowing out of peoples garages. Big., strong, outrunners and and ESC's are relatively cheap and reliable and these guys are demonstrating that it can be done. Folks are gonna run with that. Lemme add that I'm not intending to be negative at all, I love this thing and thing that it's one of those evolutionary steps, right up there with what Musk is doing down in Texas.. Great time to be alive!
Interesting to see how the FAA, CAA etc react to these aircraft. Can't see them becoming mainstream any time soon. Maybe one for future generations....but a minefield for legislation.
@@bv3bv334 I fly experimental aircraft like this all the Time. I follow FAA regulations and it's never a problem. The FAA is not about keeping people from experimenting with new Aircraft of any kind they fully support all of this. Dudes a clown thats never dealt with the FAA in his life.
This would be amazing for large ranches so they could fly fences and look for needed repairs or checking on herds and water supply... I wonder the range on a single charge?
I would be surprised if it has more than a 15-20 minute range. I gyroplane is probably a more practical solution for ranchers with current technologies.

@@harrisonofthenorth I'm guessing people didn't see the first car either the first time they saw one.
Fun fact, the only two cars that existed in the entire State of Kansas, crashed into each other.😂
So like right around the same time they say the first plane? What's your point? Batteries store much less energy per lb than gasoline and weight is one of the most important aspects of flight.
It's a man sized drone. Not exactly revolutionary. Just larger scale.
It is not a car
As I am a Mechanical Design Engineer as well as pilot of 3 types of aircraft, you have an excellent design as far as the video reflects. I would love to see it in person. Please improve the pilot safety with the orientation of the blades. I am truly impressed so far. Bravo!
I am no mechanical design engineer but i would suggest some kind of cover/ protection for the props. Also in my eyes at least 6 of them in case one fails to still fly safely.
As an aircraft engineering manager and a pilot with SEP rating I would like to concur.

These will really benefit from vortex propeller innovation.
I remember back when I was in school in the seventies and eighties people were talking about flying cars by the year 2000 , I think it is about time someone is finally making a dream a reality.
Flying cars have been around since 1947.
But back in the 1960s, my aeronautical engineer dad explained to me why they will never be practical.
He's still right.
This thing will never will be anything more than a toy.
It'll never be in the air for more than 20 minutes before it has to re-charge.
Great idea at this point from my perspective there is only one thing that is missing and that is a deployable parachute like the ones Put on ultralight aircraft in the event of a catastrophic failure.
From their website; safety item #5, "Ballistic parachute with rapid deployment time".
At the heights flown here a parachute would most likely not deploy.
Airbag system with parachute.
@@apostlepaul5655 Its all weight.
@@robotsonmars1989 You are right, I would fly it how it is. A little Cessna doesn't even have roll cage.
This is the first practical "flying car" i've seen in my lifetime. I can see me using something like this to go to a friend's house for a visit - from my backyard to their backyard. Wonderful job.
Cars have wheels that can drive on roads. This just flys so it’s more like a private plane.
Sadly, government bureaucracy and regulations will TIE THIS UP that it will never see the light of day. Hell, they are already trying to uber-control the drones. They'd have a hey-day with this.
@@HappyHarryHardon more like a big loud manned drone
Why not just buy a paramotor? Theyre $5k an run on gas, plus its a parachute so if the motors die you dont as well Hahah
@@GeoffKidder-kt6mx it's a paraglider not a parachute, but yeah it should also have a reserve parachute in case something goes wrong with the wing, not everyone can afford paramotors
I’m in the us, would I need a license to fly one or is it like the paramotors and don’t need any license?
The FAA is going to come out down on this like 10 tons of bricks.
If a drone the size of a football needs a license in today's world I will assume that this will certainly need one.
@EVOVIISWE If it stays that way after these become commercially available I will be very surprised. I hope I’m wrong though.

Thank you for making the dreams I had as child for the future real. Flying car's are real.
People don’t respect each other on the road. They definitely don’t deserve to be in the AIR. Side swiping, brake checking, shooting, trying to cause accidents on purpose, holding up traffic on purpose??? Nah, let the devils stay where they BELONG
People can hardly drive on the road much less flying these things around. The fatality rate would skyrocket! They'd have to implement some sort of safety device so that if you were approaching ANY object while in the air, the craft would automatically stay at least 5 feet from it. For example, if you tried your hardest to fly into a tree, the terrain warning system would not allow you to do so. If manufacturers like Boeing wanted to create something like this, they could do wonders with it. It would cost $1M or more though....
I love it.... Fully behind this adventure. When FT is 60 minutes and the props are guarded the world will change . Can´t wait !
Agreed, but don't hold your breath. It's gonna be a while.
Flight time 60minutes? I’d rather say 6minutes... Governments despite forcing all this ECO electric BS are making almost impossible for people to even use electric scooters!!! And you are talking that this will change the world? Never going to happen! It will be a toy for millionaires who will want to add this to their collection after a private jet and helicopter... Normal people and middle class should stay at home and shouldn’t even go out nor have a car - that’s the goal for today’s world...

How would this handle one of the motors failing in flight? Honestly curious what the procedure would be to land relatively safely when stuff goes wrong!

Very cool. Just wondering why in all the videos about the Jetson, they seem to be afraid to fly it higher than about 10 - 20 feet. Hmm.
“Please keep hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times unless waving to to chick photographing you.” Even knowing where those props are exactly I wouldn’t risk that one. I like my hands attached the way that they are.

Just give her the nod as you cruise by.
They show down then his hand comes out
lol
They make hand helmets, really not

Some venturi style surrounds for propellers could serve double duty. For safety and efficiency in lift and thrust. My opinion.
Was thinking same thing.
Yes, I bet we’ll see this soon
the added weight for the the lift they create isnt worth the additional work

@@paulwicklund5044 sure mate🤣 Billy bob invent mankind
Can we get a high altitude video please?
lol not even unmanned are they willing to try.
Excellent craft but it definitely needs a cage around each of those propeller sections.
I can see your aspect for safety, but that would impede the lift needed for flight by restricting airflow. The same reason there are no safety cages around helicopter blades. Unless it was a ring around the outer portion, such as a kort nozzle around a boat prop.
very nice project. did you consider replacement of half of the battery weight (i.e. 30kg) with fuel tank (i.e. 20kg) and turbine electric generator (i.e. 10kg)? or scale change to two seater in similar configuration?
Im kinda wanting for DJI to just adapt their drone skills to a 1 person aircraft 😃
It's already in their pipelines
As soon as it can stay in flight for an hour you'll have my money!
Exactly! Once the range is improved I will definitely order one.
@@coreyhardwick4660 they should add solid state batteries to have quicker charge times and longer battery life. Hopefully they are looking into it.

Its a great toy that I'd definitely fly. The problem is that companies like this think they are trying to solve an urban flying transport system problem. Thats misguided because product liability, airspace constraints, tricky weather conditions and the fundamental problem of battery energy density. Batteries will never suddenly get 10x capacity and flying with rotors is very inefficient if you have a wing its 3x more efficient but even then its not viable. So I'd concentrate on making it an extreme sport toy first and then go from there.
The amount of misinformation in your post is pretty large.
@@MrWizard209 You have a pretty large statement yourself but I don't see any facts. Care to prove him wrong?

A racing drone without a pilot have flight time of about 2-3 min.
to simulate you onboard a jetson you can
Put a thick bony stake of beef and an inc of poo on top of it and your flight time is 30 sec
This jetson have only clips of it hovering nearly static and they are clipped every 5 secs for a reason.
I think that such systems woul be awesome as public transport along coastal areas. Imagine taking a aircraft taxi like this along the coast in california. That would be fucking awesome. It would also be great for tourism/sightseeing, again, in coastal areas.
@@joryferrell7244 dude it can fly for max 10 min
I would never be able to afford that, but I've been watching for 2 years. If you ever need a test pilot in the US I would be gracious enough to do it simply because I believe in your technology and I know that you got a great product. Surpassing everybody in Japan and Dubai. If you ever make it the states I would love an opportunity to fly it. I've flown every mini quad for the past 5 years that I can get my hand on I've got four iterations of the Holy Stone your product looks amazing. I know it's a pipe dream but if you get to the states I would love to fly it.
Pipe dream yep.
This is awesome. I do wonder what the limits are to reducing the noise level. And also, as watts/Kg continues to rise, how will range be improved.
Look at helicopters or propeller planes. I think there's not much room to decrease noise without decreasing also the flow rate. The physical limits of fans/ propellers/ pumps are already pretty well researched. Propeller planes or drones are using their propeller designs for good reason.
Displacing the air is what creates the noise.
Muito legal gostei muito eu tô torcendo para q der tudo certo no projeto 🇧🇷
What is the "fail safe" backup if one or more propellers is knocked out ? By say a bird or an unseen tree limb ?
To fall
It might be feeling so amazing 😌 to hover above ground occasionally

@@VASILICH-01 I see your point, but it is absolutely not the same at all. You don't have the same control and agility as this has.

Its not that expensive. Please look up the price before making assumptions.
@@f900ex5 around 90k us $. Yeah not many people have that kind of money aside for this. My point :)
I love the idea of this so much and I almost jumped at the opportunity to own one. However, twenty minutes of flight time, 1 hour charge time, pilot can’t weigh over 210lbs (which means I’m out) and only a top speed of 63mph at a price tag of $90k plus…can’t justify spending that.
Only 63??? Jesus dude…
Batteries are going to get better, maybe a quick change battery design instead.
Time to hit the gym!
@@paultruesdale7680 yes absolutely, I’m sure they’ll eventually double the flight time. Sadly even I double my current gym time, I still won’t be able to get below 210. I’m 6-2, 231lbs and lean. Maybe they’ll design a husky size.
63 miles per hour= about 100km hour
For the moment good for short trips.
Drive a car at 100km and it's
Reasonably fast...
The market will have used ones but how much to replace the battery?
Looks so cool!
I notice however that when it comes in for landing, at 2:06, you first add a "hope-you're-not-epileptic"-strobe and then you cut away the actual touchdown.
Still got some work to do on that? :)
If there's one thing I would say that is needed, if only for the general public's peace-of-mind, it is light-weight (perforated?) propeller guards of some kind. They would protect against accidental damage to the propellers on landing as well as add an obvious safety margin for the pilot. I'd love to fly this one day soon!
Looks great guys, steady improving!... keep them coming!
i see those blade protectors are still not there, going for the dramatic "waiting for one of those blades to break and see what happens" effect from the crowd.
Same principle of the toy drones just bigger to handle the weight. ❤️❤️
That's it in a nutshell, just a bigger toy. Battery technology has a long way to go before these things become real world practical.

I hope the cockpit has more protection and they install propeller guards because I'll hate to be sliced in half in the event something bad happens.
if you look closely, the protection is there already.
@@tonualt2683 If you look closely, you'll see I mention more protection...
Except if the frame is made out of cardboard, the bones will be broken before the current frame is destroyed. I cannot imagine how this could improved noticeably.
I agree that it needs propeller guards.
Вас не разрежет пополам ,можно не беспокоится,просто проткнет на сквозь.
adding guards will significantly reduce performance. and bumping into things with prop guards as if it is a toy drone is not okay anyway. best to focus on avoiding that possibility, rather than making training wheels for it. With that thought process, we would only have boogie boards, not surf boards, and training wheels on all motorcycles. absurd.
I kinda like it, trips from my CA house to my house at the river in AZ would be a whole new adventure.
what happens if a bird hits one of the propellers. Would it still be able to function with 3 fans
No, the bird would be completely destroyed. It would never fly again.
@@yestfmf hehe 😆
@EVOVIISWE Thanks 👍
Just can't get over those spinning carbon-fiber blades inches from your head... when the pilot waved I was like "don't cut your hand off boi!"
Yeah i feel like they should be encapsulated somehow
@@kgm5868
Fact: there’s never been a manned-drone video uploaded to TH-cam where the comment section isn’t cluttered with clowns saying the rotors should have safety guards.
The fact is that every airplane ever built with a propeller has the same danger. Dopes who would get near one when it’s turning have to be held away (at gunpoint if necessary) at all times and aviation has been like that for at least 120 years.
Amazing work, a beautiful piece of craftsmanship mixed with a young boys dream.
A protection ring is missing around the propellers, not only because of the surrounding objects that would get stuck, but also because of the better use of the direction of the jet of air that pushes.
Everything else is beautiful.
"everything else" = "that girl next to the vehicle"
I wanna hear what ot really sounds like
Impressive.
Please add shrouds around the props.
That would provide some protect in case of collision and if properly shaped, should provide some ducted fan effect for a tiny bit of additional lift.
That sure was some creative editing right at the moment of landing. You're going to have to be transparent about the mechanics involved if you want the public to trust you.
It was a rough landing 🤣. Everybody likes to brag about butter landings.
also if you were a real god damn mechanic you could reverse engineer that thing
Landing and taking off should be a single button action. Once the vehicle is below 100’ and in the general area pressing a “LAND” button should land it automatically. The technology certainly exists. There’s no need to add human error into the process. I don’t see how this wouldn’t be easily achievable
@@savedfaves Auto-pilot adds cost to the machine and isn't cheap. 🤭
@@savedfaves Honestly, you see how hard it is for people to drive cars, there's no way people are going to be able to fly cars in three dimensions. Autopilot is the only way flying cars will be mainstream.
I want to see the safety features in action
Yes some crash test footage please. Then I will buy one.
the parachute? lol everything is lies.
I fly toy versions of this and have done some crash testing, I would NOT want to be in the middle of that thing in any sort of crash.
You already saw them....none.
do you see them on a 4 wheeler? or a regular drone? not really.. when you are dealing with things like this, or other recreational vehicles. you are dealing with extremes.. push any of these vehicles past their limit and you can get hurt.. if the blades scare you maybe a simple net like on a nascar window would satisfy you... or better yet.. dont get in or around one if safety is your #1 concern.. because machines break.. and people get hurt all the time.. even on something as simple as a skate board..
The carbon propeller blades at neck level are an excellent idea to shorten the pain after the inevitable crash.
I thought just the same! The probability that your head will still be attached to your body after an accident seems low.
Finally a VTOL to park next to the car. Helicopters always have these parking problems because of the oversized main rotor. But this cool manned drone here is very compact agile and fast! Awesome. I think this will be the future of flying and the classic helicopter design will be a thing of the past in the oncoming 10-20 years.
You clearly have no knowledge of propeller and rotor blade efficiency and the energy density of liquid fuels versus batteries.
There needs to be one made with standard pump petrol for fuel. This will assure long range, quick fuel up time, and minimal down time.
Awesome I can see a bunch of celebrities buying these things. It is the future that’s for sure.
Okay, cool. Just a few questions: how long is the flight time? I already know it cost more than a car, so what is the price? Any licenses required? How much can it lift (pounds)?
All positive...
As they say, if you have ask the price... You don't have enough.
Flight time is 20 minutes. Price is $92,000. You require the same licence that you would to fly a Microlight sports craft I believe
@@hanc37 i would ask the price if it was a penny. Value over perceived value.

I'd like to see the pilot actually getting in and out of the thing, and flying it at more than 20 feet off the ground.
I would like to hear what it sounds like too. I imagine it’s very loud.
at least a pilots equivalent weight of sandbags and a max duration unmanned flight. it would be 1.5 minutes so they don't.
@Russell Phelan The website says it can continue to fly (or safely land perhaps!) with one motor failure.
I love the concept, and the apparent flight stability and control.
However, I know it will add weight, but jeez, your sitting next 8 whirling blades.
Did you guys think it might be worthwhile to shroud those guillotine's your sitting next to???
It might even generate more lift if you shroud the blades, and create a ducted fan.
My thoughts exactly.
I don't know of any propeller driven aircraft with shrouded props
My first thought also.
@@ITWUT A typical aircraft has vertical swinging props, that in most cases are not sitting a few inches from your cockpit or passenger compartment, as is illustrated by this really cool air vehicle.
The safety issues related the very close proximity of fast spinning blades, without some type of blade off containment shroud is asking for trouble.
I worked in high velocity projectile containment with GE Engines at the University of Dayton.
The velocity of turbine fan blades breaking off from usually bird strikes is roughly 1100 to 1400 feet per second, or
about the speed of a 9mm or .40 cal pistol round.
If that vehicle were my project ,I would incorporate ultra light weight carbon/kevlar/PU shrouds around the blades.
Blade off caused aircraft deaths are not discussed with news outlets, and are usually just typified as " engine failure".
I want one these though.
Yep, turbines are shrouded. Props are not. I totally agree that a blade departure is a negative event, and that the pilot occupies ~20% of the possible departure pathway. As illustrated above the pilot is sitting in the cockpit and wearing a protective helmet, further reducing direct exposure to what, 5%? And I'd guess both of are capable of protecting the pilot from an ejected carbon prop blade, which is not anywhere near the energy of a turbine blade, but still dramatic surely.
Loss of control would my primary concern and I'd love to see how the control code handles that. As it is, these short, limited flights make me think that they might be right on the edge performance wise, or they'd be showing it.. I say they rushed to get out front, and if they can take advantage of the sales to drive engineering then they did a good thing -because I can assure you that these are fixing to start flowing out of peoples garages. Big., strong, outrunners and and ESC's are relatively cheap and reliable and these guys are demonstrating that it can be done.
Folks are gonna run with that. Lemme add that I'm not intending to be negative at all, I love this thing and thing that it's one of those evolutionary steps, right up there with what Musk is doing down in Texas.. Great time to be alive!
My Son is a pilot and flies S&R for the Civil Air Patrol. I showed him this video, he may have to go out to find one of those things some day.
