This impressive climb rate of the Jetson ONE will make your flying experience that much exciting, even with a pilot weighing up to 210lbs (95kg).
To compare, this climb rate is double that of a typical light helicopter and surpasses the speed of the ultra-fast elevator in Hong Kong's Two International Finance Center skyscraper!
In this video the ONE climbs a swift 300ft (92m) in less than 20 seconds.

The fact you guys wouldn't even put a pilot in the seat for this tells everyone exactly what they need to know 🤣
Man these things would be great if you could haul 200lbs for more than 15 mins. One day battery tech will get there.
I want one. Placing shrouds around the props would quiet the machine a little and perhaps enhance safety.
I’m sure it does and I know they’re being cautious, but the reality is it would be safer with a little more altitude. Blades are on his plane thus if he hits the ground they’ll take him out.
Looking at these new adaptable personal flying drones, seems like there should be fenders or guards on the inside of the blades, unless it creates too much drag, even so..should B some protection 🤔
amazing but I wouldn't trust it.one cut of the motors can't see this autorotate for a landing.more like a brick falling from height.
What are the prices for one of these I have asked quite a few times now and still no response so does anyone have an idea at all????

Yes, I heard there are lots of flying restrictions with the Jetson. As it is hard to get any details on my end. I do know urban areas is off limits as well as many other areas. I was hoping it was like an ICON A5 (tiny two-seater plane with floats and retractable landing gear) that you can fly anywhere a typical small plane can fly, but I guess not. Which also doesn't require a pilots license, just a sports license.
Since that post, I found a few others that say 20 minutes flight time at a max speed of 63 MPH. That is only 20 miles per charge. What a huge difference. I guess they shouldn't have reporters reporting about these things without any experience.
If a rotor or engine goes out on this thing wtf do you do? I fly drones and all I know to do is crash. I don’t ever want to be in a failing quadcopter. Especially something like this frame, those blades are going straight into your face if you collide with anything. There is a reason helicopters have not been replaced with quadcopter pusher designs, it’s a horrible idea.
I would like to know the size these brushless motors are. Are these commercially available? i.e., like the U series motors from TMOTOR?
**EDIT** I wonder if the TMOTOR P80 III series would work for this purpose? I just looked up large outrunners, and if I read correctly, supposedly has 17kg thrust per motor with CF 32x10.5 props...
I am sure these are probably their own design, but I am still curious of the Stator size.
