Personal flying electric VTOL copter aircraft testing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- We have been quite busy lately carrying out plenty of flight testing of Jetson® ONE production prototype. Here you can see some forward flight, tight turns and a general demonstration of awesome VTOL capabilities with 50kg payload. We will be progressively adding more ballast each flight(up to maximum 110kg).
Based on testing we are expecting up to 25 minutes of flight(plus 20% reserve) for pilots on the lighter weight scale end. keep in mind not all of the protective shielding and fairings have been installed yet.
You can already place an order thus helping us bring this compact electric flying machine to the market quicker and accelerating large scale production.

I'm seriously impressed with the pilots invisibility cloak. I wish you guys would do some UA-cam videos on how that works. It's crazy awesome!
They had to quasi phase him slightly into another dimension to reduce weight.
@@wickedprotos1937 I think the tech used here is based on the same technology used in the Philadelphia experiment.
It's like the opposite of Wonder Woman.
@@TheVigilante2000 No wonder man ?
i think the title should be "to be manned" electric Jetson copter
If you fly a little lower it can double as a lawnmower.
It already sounds like a colony of yard blowers. I'd be all for it if it wasn't making such godawful noise.
@@AndyFromBeaverton imagine hearing this at 6am when your trying to sleep in 😂😂😂😂
...Aaaand immediately the authorities thought 'That looks like fun!... how can we ban it?'
"This looks like fun, but how can we extort money from everyone who uses it"?
-The IRS
profit before people they would steal lit
You ain't jokin'. That's the first thing I thought of. Either that or how fast can we tax the living shit outta owning/flying one of these things?
@@coreythomas6576 That's exactly why you should raise absolute Hades with your Congress Critter(s) when The Man gives such ridiculous talk. They take their orders from Congress/Treasury.
The USA as an example. You can build and fly anything as long as it's under a specific weight.
"never fly in an aircraft with the gliding characteristics of a piano."
every modern fighter plane.
rocket powered parachute system as for GA planes. Extra 27kg and generally dont work close to the ground. So, great concept and safety case...
You mean like a combustible-filled balloon?
@@martinhoran9529 hydrogen balloons are actually quite safe with modern technology but the stigma still remains from the Hindenburg. Isnt that crazy?
У тебя есть негативный опыт?
WHEN THEY SAY MANNED; WHERE IS THE DUDE INSIDE FLYING THIS.
I could swear I saw someone. Isn't his seat kind of a tub, reclined like an F-16's?
human testing not yet allowed i guess...
@@KutWrite there was nobody on that flight... They've not yet solved the safety issues
@@oczhaal: OK, thanks.
@@oczhaal They will never solve the safety issue. The multirotor design is inherently dangerous.
I'd tool around in it. It would be noisy as hell in the seat. Need great ear protection.
I said, "YOU'LL NEED GREAT EAR PROTECTION!!!"
SAY WHAT?!?
"Keep An Eye On This Company. Big Things Have Small Beginnings..."
No
Wow, they invented a giant drone, but it doesn't have the capacity to take anything on board.
Thats true .i should invest with them
@@animaltube7043 uhmmm
To state the obvious, where is the man in the "Manned electric .... flight testing" ?
Yes, flight testing. We will put the pilot in the cockpit once the safety features have been tested.
@@Jetsonaero clickbait sucks ass, it's just a copter in xxxxxl..
@@Jetsonaero And what exactly are those "safety features"? More specifically, what are you going to do in case of a rotor (or more than one rotor) failure? Or is that the test pilot's problem (and the customers')?
@@getsideways7257 please refer to specifications on our website. We us propulsion redundancy - you can still land safely without 1 propeller(or in some cases even 2)
@@Jetsonaero What takes out a rotor in one corner might as well take out the opposing rotor in the same location. I suppose it doesn't hover very well on three points? Also, what happens in the case of power failure? The ballistics parachute? What if the height is around 10 to 20 meters?
I'd say this is insanity.
Edit: after all, this is not a new idea. If there really was a way to make this safe enough (as in bringing the whole thing down after the power was cut), we'd have "flying cars" decades ago. People fly planes and helicopters for a reason, even if they are "unwieldy".
It's nice to see someone ACTUALLY rly fly one of these instead of just piddling around at 3 ft off the ground... Oh nm there's no one in it
They flew one manned a few years ago.
Imagine the implications for hedge trimming and sweeping patio decks.
So this was an un-manned test of the Jetson One prototype.....your video title is misleading.
"misleading" it was a lie
Can't you see the white helmet he or she is tuk right in the seat
@@Queue3612 watch it again see the white helmet
@@philpek6341 no. there is no one in there. i can very clearly see at multiple times the seat is empty.
See some smart asses make crítics as if they were also building one of these.... thats exactly how ignorant envy works... . I wish I had the knowledge, time and resources to develop one of these.. Keep on!! congrats!!!
you only need time and resources. the flight controls for one of these things are easy enough to find online with PCB schematics and the software to boot. Thats basically the whole gist of it.
@@ClaviculaNotoria
I think that is the trade secret part, plugging together off the shelf electric motors, frame and battery should be the easy part...eVTOL is more disruptive than Tesla cars!
What is there to envy? The code to run these type of craft is open source. Get a grip.
@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 the fun part is that the 'secret' is open source.
@@ClaviculaNotoria But you need to test the final product in edge cases with weather challenges (turbulence, wind, rain, freezing, icing) to certify it with live cargo...and set operating limitations like all aircraft...
if you add a different sensor or a backup control hardware then retesting, retesting...then recertify even the the production process not only the prototype design...
in germany you would n`t get a permission to fly because the rotors could kill birds.
Yes, it also scares the hell out of small children
The rotors could kill YOU... when at least one of them stops midair. Or what, did you think this overfed drone is immune to that, only planes and choppers have failures?
Its flight testing why are yall so disappointed. If its so easy go design your own and tell us how it went
super cool👍👍👍👍
I just wish it was so fucking loud... holly cow. I'm a bartender. image me, coming home from work at 3 to 5 am and waking up the entire neighborhood with my super crazy loud drone ship landing or taking off every day that I work.
Can't wait to have one someday!
Mike Corbett, without seeing it take off or land?
@@okgo8315 There are videos of the first prototype taking off and landing, and I said, "someday", not next week. LOL
Read the description,, they are taking orders already so pre order one up for yourself,, would be so cool , but absolutely should still only be sold to people that hold a valid pilots licence ,, just like RC ,, if you don’t know how it works or the basics of flight you should NOT be anywhere near something that flies ,, 99 % of people can’t even drive a vehicle properly, let alone this .
@@TMB5BER Haha! I flew one of the first ram air parachute ultralights years before I even had a drivers license. I'm still waiting to see the development on this before I sink any money down. Still waiting on my Cybertruck pre-order from Tesla.
I bet your neighbors can't wait either. Think about it folks, you really want one of these coming in to park next door at 2am?
Pretty cool CONCEPT for sure! Where are you based?
Happy to hear you like it! Office in Sweden and workshop in Poland
I will throw my bank account at this!... ME WANTIE!
Yes I need one of those where can I buy Lml
Agreed. I will pay for half and we can evenly split it.
Compared to some of the other contraptions I've seen, this one actually looks safe. Very nice.
cool design, but I wouldn't get up in that thing.
@@jansa940 Lol, neither would I.
@@yannickg6904 Safe... while nobody's riding it ;)
Good thing there are people not scared like you guys
What is the scary of the Jetson one?
Hell yeah! I’ve said to myself for years now, if they can make a phanatom 3 DJI drone work as good as it does, idk why they can’t more or less just build one a little larger in scale. That fits a person inside of it.
Looks like that’s about what someone has finally done!
Lol...its like a overgrown toy drone flying around with ease.
For low level flight whack a big deployable airbag underneath it for "safety" and get these toys on the market.
Unmanned. This is currently a drone flight.
CANT you see the pilot?
@@bobbythompson3544 no
The world has been crying out for this and it's bound to become as successful as the Rotodyne.
Good to see that there are partial rotor guards in this prototype. Other manned drones have rotating props that are completely out in the open to chomp off an arm or foot like a Veg-O-Magic! Nice work Jetson! It will be very interesting to see what you come up with.
I thought the same, but on the new promotional video they've just released, the guards have been removed and the rotors are exposed... on the production version. Retrogressive step me thinks. Makes no sense in any regard. Weight addition is minimal, relatively speaking.
Best of Luck, keep testing. Its like any experimental aircraft, the risk is implied. Why dont you naysayers just ground every home built and kit built airplane...shesh. "Lighten up Francis"
It is the software control logic is the key coupled with the right sensors..."building" one is the easy part...soon we can buy them in kit-format I hope...
Once I get one, I will find Sasquatch. He cannot escape us with this.
Once he hears it, he would already been gone😜
I'm going to find Elvis when I get mine!
@@Jules_73 I heard he is on a gold space ship and visited some dudes in Hawaii. Keep us posted. Cheers
@@drgopta2180 I'm sure it's encrusted with rhinestones as well!
We can't even operate machinery on 2d surfaces without killing each other, this is going to be entertaining.
@Kalergi is trash by the use of my pronouns, I was just generalizing based on statistical information. There are a lot of great individual drivers I'm sure, but as a whole, we're not ready for private air vehicles
I don't care anymore, I can not take more soul destroying traffic. They don't develop the road network and they tax the shit out of us anyway so we might as well start looking at these.
@@abvmoose87
This decade is about the eVTOL revolution...
I'm just thinking out loud.
It looks good, but the frame is not yet completely optimal.
The outer frame is a good idea, but a lot of stiffeners can be saved if it is completely enclosed and the cockpit is connected with only 4 pairs of rods, which also have engines. So structurally it would look like a bicycle wheel, which we know is a pretty good structure.
I would use carbon composite where the casing and support structure are the same, but I understand that it is easier to develop with aluminum.
I wish you good luck! I hope we can travel with such machines, not for long.
If you actually get someone to ride in the thing, have them fly over water, at least.
I think this is logical to be built, because quadcopter is so stable and easy to control, just like the rc ones..unlike the jetpack, winged jet pack, or flying motorcycle this looks safer and more feasible as a transport..just need a good power source and maybe whoop around the propeller so it can have more concentrated wind pushed down..
We now know where the invisible man works.
Should of took it public got in a police chase and got away at night with led lights on .then released this footage later down the road
The lift created with such small diameter fan blades and its stability is just amazing.
i wouldnt mind daily flying that to work
The future will be flying cars
Looks great, one wonders about the range on such a thing though.
Probably just have the remote in the pilots hands
The only thing I see that might be a battery is the size of a shoe box. Not going to last long hauling a human
It'll take you all the way to the scene of the crash
@@p99guy I think that's the battery pack 😃
Only one? Which one? Do you have their details? You seem pretty sure of this but I wonder also so that's at least two.
Nice work! Looks really competetive with the other approaches out there.
I do worry about the propellers beeing able to direclty slice the pilot apart when there is a problem with a bird or a broken prop.. But I guess you have other problems then...
What is the minimum height your ballistic parachute will work? The most dangerous parts of the flight will be whenever you are low to the ground..
A idea : could it be possible that it could keep flying with one motor lost? Lets say we have the L and R rotating ones. Now when a L breaks you could spin up all the R motors a bit more and throttle down the opposite side of the broken Motor. That would mean there is more load on the R spinning Motors while basically the two L motors throttle down enough so they have the same thrust as the one working L motor at full thrust? That would add a ton of redundancy if that worked!:)
Thanks! Yes, it still flies and lands safely with one rotor out. Specially developed ballistic parachute already works from 10 meters while in hover.
The 'man' needs to be inside controlling it for it to be considered manned.
Computer controls it...the man part will be just about pointing the cursor where to land and what descent/approach profile to chose in accordance with obstacles...
How to buy a stock in ur company ?
Please contact info(at)jetsonaero.com
I would definitely will buy one
so would Kobe Bryant.
All fun until a damn Stork flies into a propeller 😂. Kidding aside this really is a fantastic invention. Keep up the good work 🙂👍
Now put it in acro mode and do some flips ;)
We are going to do it eventually
That's very nice. But if just of one of those motors or props fail..it's game over for the pilot. I used to fly giant RC back in the day and i know props can fail too. That kind of thing should have some kind of emergency parachute system, though i know it would add weight. Another thing is of course if you just stay on your back yard low level flying figure eight, then it's less dangerous but great machine anyway.
This is AWESOME!!!!!! Please send me one for beta testing, really, please.
Sketchy as heck...but that's probably what they said about early helicopters. Better have ultra-reliable mechanisms because the probability isn't pretty for an 8 (craft in video) vs. 2 (i.e. typical helicopter) rotors, if one failure equals a catastrophic failure. It's gonna take time, so bless the early innovators for they are the makers of dreams.
This one looks like the first really viable aircraft of its type that I have seen. The only question I have is the duration of the batteries. Make this a two place the reasonable duration and easy charge situation, put some type of enclosure on it and I think you have a winner. I would at least be interested in purchasing a kit or the plans.
Happy to hear you like it. We are working hard to increase the flight time.
@@Jetsonaero
What is the duration now?it looks really stable as well as maneuverable and that is something that I haven't seen in these hovercrafts. Doesn't have to have any baggage are as far as I'm concerned. Just use it for fun personal transportation. Also, I'm warning at what altitudes you have flown it at so far and if there will be room for the venerable ballistic shoot for the just in case but you hope it never happens type of situation.. I'd appreciate you keeping me updated on this or give me any other information you may have on it. I've been a licensed aviator for over 36 years and I've owned several airplanes including the one I have now so I'm not just tired so to speak.

The tech involved to make this marketable for long distance just ain't there yet. But we gotta start somewhere.
The problem is battery weight. Its highly unlikely that battery energy density will get high enough to make this practical, before it becomes obsolete.
60 grand is out of my budget for sure. Neat concept though. Thanks for posting this.
Ahh, more clickbait BS I see! Clearly people that are capable of this level of engineering can distinguish between 'manned' and 'unmanned' (remote) operation.
Keep crying.
“Manned” ... you keep using that word ... I don’t think you know what it means.
that word you keep using.... I do not think it means what you think it means.
Hell yeah!!! Make one with lite weight pontoons on it so you can land at the springs and drink some beer!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
I like your thinking
@@Jetsonaero 😂😂😂😂 Subscribed!
Why so much negativity in the comments. I guess thats how you know this is a good idea! Great ideas are always mocked at first!

You know why we don't have flying cars? Women drivers.
Sorry but that does not look like the Jetson speeder in the cartoon. You also need Astro and Elroy to be there as well!
WOOWWWWWW, I can't wait to see that thing with a shrink-wrapped skin.
Fantastic
This is definitely a WINNING DESIGN!!!
Until you get a flat tire , it needs more rotors .
@@Odin33356 There's no tires?
@@Zwettekop it has 8 so its all good.

Can you call Moller and talk about bringing the M400 back from the dead? LOL
I bet the "guys" in the Tic-Tac vehicle are watching this and laughing.
The Tic-Tac "guys" might be a few centuries, millennia or millions of years ahead of us, so they might look sympathetically upon us as we look sympathetically on apes.
@@quantumac yep they probably look at our "technology" as we look at chimps using sticks to get bugs out of tree knotholes.
Każdemu pewnie marzy się posiadanie takiego pojazdu, ale nawet mając odpowiednie fundusze trzeba sobie uświadomić, że niestety istnieje wielka bariera dla elektrycznej aeromobilności w postaci ograniczających wolność osobistą przepisów uchwalanych w różnych parlamentach. Biorąc pod uwagę ostatnią aktywność polskiego sejmu w sprawie dronów, elektrycznych hulajnóg czy nowelizacji przepisów ruchu drogowego, to raczej nie można liczyć na rychłe pojawienie się w większej liczbie pojazdów tego rodzaju w powszechnym użytkowaniu przez statystycznego Kowalskiego.
Pilot is camera-shy and he musta left this bathtub.
Wow! If you cannot find a pilot please pm me 😁
Pretty Impressive Actually...
Cool .... but I'll stick to my Rat Rods so I can coast to a stop on failure.
Amazing vehicle. Looks nice. Great job!
Looks fantastic! Now all you need to do is make it a 4 seater / 450kg capacity (namely 4 person + vacation luggages), give it 600km range, max speed 300km/h and put canopy on top ... all this for a price of less than 90k EUR and I am buying it!
Definitely a cool design. Thanks for posting
I wonder if anybody driving by was get freaked out
Absolutely Beautiful!!!
Can you imagine the noise with thousands of these up in the sky all at once? I get angry just hearing a dude blow leaves around outside my window. I would probably kill myself if I had to listen to 1,000 Jetsons passing overhead.
I was thinking exactly the same. Let’s face it, this is just a modified helicopter.
I'll be imoressed when it's manned
Haters: it's says manned but this one isn't.
Rest of us: yep they have a cockpit and plan on putting a man in it, unlike drones which don't have seating or a place for a pilot. Ya, you'd take one if it were available
IKR! People are morons on the internet.

Nice. You’re just missing the “Man” in “Manned”.
its a test flight of an aircraft that can hold a pilot. Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp for some people here?
yes someone can fly inside it, but it still needs to be tested so the pilot will not die if it fails lol
@@SwiftDuckFPV the title is misleading
@@SwiftDuckFPV Derp. That makes this an unmanned flight. Why is it such a difficult concept to grasp?

Thanks for showing worlds upcoming future...god bless you...love from Mumbai India..😊
Looks good. I hope the airframe is hollow and has all the circuits inside it. Also, with exchangeable parts. That would be neat! :D

Gol-dern them new-fangled flyin' thingies! Who needs 'em, anyhow? Why back in my day... !
Looks & sounds like a human sized Drone
Free societies breed innovation like this. Enjoy it while we can.
Love the design. Just want a lot more flight time(2 hours would be great).
@Stephen Ferree gonna be years or even decades before batteries have the sort of energy density required to fly a drone of that scale with a payload capacity of anything more than 80kg (a light pilot) for more than an hour or 2. battery technology is on a plateau atm.
Keep up the great work , some Karen will say its too noisy
Interesting, I see a lot of negative comments regarding safety, I can't help thinking helicopters have one rotor super complicated motors and no reserve parachute and they've gained widespread acceptance. I do wonder what the training would be and if it would be legal to fly it any time soon in this risk averse world.
Helicopters can glide by auto rotation. For this craft a ballistic parachute would be an absolute must.
@@bren42069 I know but not if they lose that rotor. The biggest thing really is it only has 15min flight time.
Cool, but too noisy to ever catch on. This is a fundamental problem with these new machines.
