That relatable moment when you fly back from work to your private mountain pool cabin with built-in landing pad.
🤣🤣🤣
if I was this guy's neighbour I'd be pissed
Ahahahhaa
Wait. You don’t have a mountain home with a pool and a built in landing pad?
And realise you’ve left your cigs at the office.
"Everyone is a pilot". Considering how bad some people are at driving cars, I certainly do not want everyone to fly this. Jokes aside I really like this big drone of yours.
Was thinking the same thing. Most people can barely drive in a safe manner. I wouldn't want some yahoo with more money than brain cells to get hold of something like this. Law enforcement and first responders, absolutely. If this hit the open market, airports would have way bigger problems than the occasional idiot with a DJI Mavic flying in controlled airspace.
As a pilot, I wouldn't want some of the people that went through flight school being pilots. Thankfully, most that I had concerns about gave up.
auto drive?
Yea honestly this will never work for mass market unless automated
Its brilliant, exciting and a new way to kill myself!
So I am confined to a wheelchair. There are so many things I love that I can no longer do, due to limited wheelchair access. I am looking at this thing and seeing a future where people like me can go anywhere we want again without all the road blocks. I truly hope this becomes a thing to the point that it becomes affordable. Please keep doing what you're doing and if you ever need a dude in a wheelchair to test it I volunteer as tribute!!!!
Don't get discouraged. There are billions of people out there in third world which are not handicapped but still living miserable life than you.
Whoa, thanks Mr America, such kind words of encouragement. Sure wish I was rather crippled in the States than living in my third world country. Lol.
@@mr.america9806 is this for real? Like are you some kind of "special" or were you actually serious with that ignorant ass statement? I find it pretty ironic that you go by Mr. America considering it was my service to America that put me in this wheelchair. So yeah thanks for that my guy..... Maybe for your next trick you could advocate for child rape or maybe torture a puppy to death. Seems like that would be right up your alley.
No discourage. But, go to air school and get some license first before piloting that thing okay
Don't get discouraged. You can wait till prosthetic legs becomes affordable :>
This is the flying car we've all been waiting for in the year 2000. And yes, it has arrived. Bravo.
This is not a flying car. It is a personal aircraft. A flying car would be able to drive on the road as well as fly. This is revolutionary for being electric and (supposedly) easier to fly than a helicopter. But it is still a personal VTOL aircraft, not a car. This cannot do anything a helicopter could not do. Still very cool looking. Also, with a flight time of 20 minutes and a top speed of 102 km/hr, it's got a maximum range somewhere around 20 miles on a charge. If you live more than 10 miles from work you won't be commuting in this without a charging station at work. And even with a charging station at work, you're out of luck if your commute is more than 20 miles. Again, very cool, but very limited as well.
@@danielschechter8130 I'm sure this thing will be WAY easier to fly than a helicopter. It will be like flying your average consumer drone. Also I know at least one thing this vehicle can do which a helicopter can't: flying that close to the trees, power lines and other objects
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor I have been in a helicopter flying just over treetop level. I don't know what makes you think a helicopter can't do that. As for FAA rules, I don't know what the rules are for helicopters vs. the Jetson. I don't even know if that's permitted yet for consumer use. You're probably right that it's easier to fly than a helicopter. But if people are flying it without more than 5 minutes' training, there will be fatal accidents. People are people, and without the extensive training that pilots get, there will be crashes. And there's no way they'll allow it to be flown low over occupied homes. It may be small enough to land on a suburban lawn, but it won't be allowed. You'll still have to keep it at a heliport.
Looks unstable to fly with a strong breeze or crosswind, like it'll be easily flipped over, and crashed. Loss of power means it drops like a thrown rock, no autorotation to counteract a fraction of the force of falling. We already have too many bad drivers on the road. Imagine if they have to think in 4 dimensions (3D and time). Because they aren't constrained to the roads which usually limit their actions, they'll be lots of accidents if the drivers aren't thoroughly trained and certified to fly this vehicle. Even with autopilot flying, someone needs to be able to fly it in the event of an emergency.
@@danielschechter8130 more like evolutionary
This is revolutionary, imagine how much time I can save by taking off right from under the bridge near my cardboard box, to my shift at McDonald's 5 miles away without being stuck in pedestrian traffic, then flying to the Amazon fulfillment center 20 miles away for the night shift, and at last back to my bridge with some delicious ground pigeon meat prepared by my Jetson.
Yeah no problem until you get hit by a flock of birds xD Or didnt notice that your low on Fuell/Power. Or the wind blows you into a building. Needs a cockpit / and built in parashute. Nice concept , but still a lot of problems to solve.
The pigeon had a disease and you died. They can bury you by the bridge.
haha, you win
Too bad the range is 20 miles... so you'd be stuck after reaching that fulfilment center.
Sorry, but you might not have to fly to your amazon fulfillment job once these drones replace all the workers and delivery drivers.
I love how this video shows so many hazards that an average commuter should be flying nowhere near.
ya I loved how I puckered up as he descended to fly under those power lines, great experience.
My goodness, agreed. This is not the way to get the public to purchase or endorse this vehicle. I can't wait for the day when these types of vehicles are commonplace but not if this is how people are taught to fly them.
I love how they had to edit so much to try and get a smooth landing!
does the average commuter own a $100,000 car?
lets talk about the fact that it is a low flying craft and would be illegal to fly over houses for safety, then there is the fact that it only just a giant over sized quad copter and the supreme court has ruled that if the police use a quad copter to fly over your property it's considered a invasion of your privacy, so you can bet your ass that they would consider this thing the same as well. Third just try to fly this thing into a city with out filing a flight plan and see what happens to you if you like federal jails be my guest. Fourth back to low flying you better know where every power line and telephone line is on your flight path or your dead once you hit one. Up here to get your pilot licence for a single engine fixed wing air craft you have to do a simulated engine failure in flight. What happens is as your flying the engine is turned off in flight and you have to glide for a set distance then you fire the engine back on. this thing if one motor fails for what ever reason your now a rock. and lastly it's only going to take one or two yahoos flying into power lines or crashing and dying before the government steps in. It's a nice gimmick but thats all it is and probably will ever be, its in the same vein as the flying cars ( and yes there is some out there google it ) nice in theory but poor in real world practicality
Beautiful. I know people in the comments will say how this is only for the rich, but so were cars 100 years ago and tech has greatly improved since then.
How beautiful. I've been thinking and wanting this for a couple of years and this is the first time I've observed someone actually doing it. I love you family. Thank you.
the only thing I could think of the whole time was "has this guy never seen what happens to a drone when it hits a tree??" but I do love the idea of zipping around between places in one of these things. maybe in the far future we'll all have little zippers like this one in the garage. of course by then we'll have super advanced AI that keeps us from hitting trees
All dude needs to do is watch me flying a quad copter. Dang trees!
He was way too low for my comfort. Perhaps it was over concern about engine failure and if the craft goes down he is low enough to survive the fall, maybe?
I guess you also have seen what happens to a car when you drive into another one... still we drive past others cars with 100 km/h or more. ;-) Same thing.. just in 3D :-D
It has lidar and a ton of sensors. It self corrects. Plus those props are way bigger than a small quad.
Exactly why I don't see these tings litter the sky anytime soon. FAA will require at least a Private Pilot's License.
Impressive and beautiful that you've built your dream. Whatever people think of it, the achievement is inspiring.
They should of used the music from Welcome to Eden
And the dubaties are still waiting for the taxi drone...
I so wish I had one of these I've watched every single video about it I am curious about the controls ?
its a scam
@@Blox117 Blox. You're a scam. You don't even exist!
I think maybe they should add a barrier or some protection to prevent the blade coming into contact with anything or anyone.... Awesome machine 👍
Same idea i had too :)
Imagine trying to show off to your family and a toddler gets decapitated. I can see that happening very easily
Ducted props would increase drag but would solve that problem

Man. I had dreams of inventing and flying my own personal craft as a little kid. Those were great dreams. The closest I ever came was when I got into hang-gliding. But this flying machine looks a lot more like the one I flew while asleep as a child. The technology didn’t exist in the 60’s but I somehow knew it could be possible some day. Bravo man!
Have you seen micro copters?
Most of us will have to settle for paramotors. Having my own landing pad is not in my forseeable future!
Yup same here and i still cant afford one.
@SierraLima, Don’t say, “Umm…” as if you’re informing me of something I don’t know, kid. I never knew a single person who had a helicopter. Too expensive and way too many rules. I invented and built my first hang glider when I was 16 years old. I crashed it, sprained both my legs and saved up for a real hang glider. It was about a serious need to fly with no money to do it. I eventually did fly my own glider up and down the coast. Finally achieved a childhood dream. Sorry if that sounds stupid to you.
@@Woodstock271 - you said the technology didn't exist in the 60s. He pointed out - politely - that it did exist. You then got stroppy and told him not to tell you things you already know. If you knew helicopters existed in the 60s then why say they didn't. You're an idiot.
Very impressive, skillfully maneuvered throughout the valley. Near approach at the end, seems like he's very comfortable cutting it so close to the treetops before landing. Very impressive, I'd like to get one!
I never saw that in my dream… That was absolutely incredible❤️❤️
I'm watching your videos and my tears down from my eyes ... This is my childhood dream ❤️❤️❤️
Can I participate in your project ??? I have a good safety solution for this aircraft
No need to dream, just use some video editing software to stich each 1 minute flight together into a 60 hour flight. Ha-Ha By the way, the skinnier you are the further is flies with the magic of video editing. ;D ;D Yet another rich folk's toy.... peasants like us can only watch. lol
That was beautiful. Personally, I'm getting tired of the videos where the vehicle just hovers around the field and then lands. It's satisfying to see you actually make an honest-to-god trip with it. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Is it really honest? Pay attention to how they cut the video, and the strange paths they choose to fly over terrain - not saying the thing doesn't fly, but they're obviously not honest about its limitations
@@IncognitoVideosInc I would guess under a 2 minute flight time.
@@IncognitoVideosInc The limitations can't be overcome? Notice it's Jetson 1 not Jetson done....
@@quickdrawmcgraw4394 Not sure where you read 'limitations can't be overcome' because I neither said nor believe that :) What I said was "obviously [they're] not honest about its limitations". You should read a little more carefully
@@IncognitoVideosInc ok negative Nancy
I could immediately tell this was not the first flight. Flying much too low for my taste (powerlines, tree tops), but if you are very familiar with your flight path (and it's remote) then you can push the limits a bit more. Probably the best example flight of EVTOL I've seen. I'm afraid I'd have to much fun on the commute and wind up missing work more often than not 😀
Amazing technology. I see myself in the pilot seat.
there's an old story about interviewing for a truck driver position. each was asked how close he could get to a cliff's edge without driving off. the last guy who responded that he'd stay as far away from the cliff as possible ended up being the only one who got the job.
Fit a third set of lift motors over the center of gravity but make them directional so that you get the lift and then when you're at you're desired altitude flip them up to 90⁰ forward for more speed.
It is not built optimally for performance flying, but for being simple
I applaud your engineering and achievement. This video is also inspirational. But where in the world would anyone be allowed to fly a manned aircraft below tree line, underneath powerlines? edit: Did a little research into my own and following comments. Jetson One in the US would be classified as an ultralight in the US (EU as well). I am not sure how the lack of 5 gallon or smaller fuel tank factors into the FAA Part 103 FARs (I guess technically zero is smaller than 5 so...). To pilot this in US, therefore, does not require any kind of pilot certificate. As some have pointed out, flying close to trees and below powerlines in class G airspace (uncontrolled, sparsely populated, etc.) is not prohibited. The FARs focus on risk to OTHER'S person and property. Countries in the EU (Sweden being one) have similar rules (with exceptions). Therefore, it seems that away from any people or property, this flight is not necessarily busting regs like I thought at first blush.
I think I've had nightmares of flying a helicopter at low altitude near power lines in the past as this made be very nervous too!
I think it's for safety. Sounds silly but seriously: low altitude means less possibility of injuries in case of any malfunctions. With increasing amount of flight hours and test data, the confidence will rise as well and therefore the flying altitude. It needs time to build up this confidence and make sure everything is tested as good as possible.
@@Jogibaer_universe I think that might be true with this, but it's the opposite philosophy when it comes to traditional aircraft. In that case, altitude is your friend.
@@Jogibaer_universe Also, it's not flying in other plane/helicopter flightpaths. And since he doesn't seem to have any 2 way radio, an airport tower can't contact him to alert him of approaching aircraft.
@@JoeR203 I don’t think you could fly it were I live due to the military base out here probably get in deep trouble maybe it be fine in the mountains near me cause I’ve seen paramotors over there
These seem cool when you are the only one with a flying machine, but I just realized how annoying it would be if everyone was commuting over my house on these things... Can you imagine if one in 20 New Yorkers could afford one of these?
As long as you put it that way, I wish that one in twenty New Yorkers WOULD fly one. Within a year, it'll help solve New York's problem....
@@demef758 crippling inefficient government?
Presumably, in NY, there would be some kind of restrictions if/when these times come. Countless FAA restrictions such as permissible air space travel, maximum height during flight, and then the endless state and city restrictions (licensing and training requirements, fees, taxes, authorized hours of flight, etc.) to follow… No doubt a great idea to minimize congestion and open the door to the future, simplifying life for the everyday commuter. But factor in the way people drive (and crash) now -on the ground- and it would only be matter of time before people start falling from the sky…
@@demef758 Great so people would not only crash on the road but also crash in appartements. I can't wait to drive this thing back home from the bar !
Would rather New York just fall into the ocean. Oh and get them out of Florida as well.

Yes, there is a lot to recommend cheap reliable safe drone type craft for commuting to work or to get to the shops etc. I think such craft should have their rotors mounted higher than the one in this video to aid stability, and the propellers should be inside shroud's to make them much safer.!!!😀💕

this will never hit anything beyond the tiniest of scale productions for a lot of obvious reasons.
People can't even drive automobiles without crashing, could you imagine the chaos of a major city with hundreds of these bumble bees flying around? Air Rage would become a thing, and instead of street racing with modified cars, could you imagine! I absolutely love it! I would love to see some performance flying in this thing, how fast can it go, how high, how hard can it bank a high speed turn, etc. Very cool and hope to see it continue development!
Aircraft and helicopters crash much less than cars. With a bit of automation and training this thing could be very safe.
Как в фильме Пятый Элемент.
@@Republic3D only because for the vast majority of the time in built up areas they are in controlled airspace and have their movement controlled by someone else watching transponders and maintaining separation. Now increase the number of aircraft and reduce the experience of the pilots and you'll see an increase in the number of collisions.

Absolutely beautiful thanks! ✌️PT
Oh God I LOVE it!! Will hopefully be buying one in a couple years!

I saw a version of this at an Aerotech facility I work for on occasion that seemed sooo awesome. Its still in development and trial phases, but they are making a good number of them
I noticed they cut every time he flew near the power lines. A couple questions - 1 - What about obstacle avoidance of such dangerous hazards as power lines. 2 - Will there be a rotor protection?
I recommend reviewing the links below the video.. namely their homepage that addresses these points specifically, and immediately. surface level research.. just glance in their direction. :)
@@steveslater7885 There is literally none of the info you mentioned on their website
I'm not sure about your first question, but rotor protection? How am I supposed to cut down little Timmy if the rotors are covered? That kid keeps taking my kids' lunch money.

I hope they eventually become cheaper, I would love to own 1.
Once the flight time becomes longer, I'd be willing to buy one Hopefully they'll be cheaper at that point, just gotta wait for R&D
Who cares?
The problem is the limitations of modern battery technology, I guess
@@ELFMEDIA I've been saying that for a few years now Hasn't been any leaps in that tech for awhile
@@richarddevaottien7724 i think you're commenting on the wrong video. This is every kids dream come true.
As an airplane pilot this is super cool but also I was a little nervous the entire time watching it fly so close to trees. Someone who isn’t as skilled as this pilot could easily misjudge a turn or climb rate and find themselves hitting a tree flying that low.
Thought the same
Also, if they are not flying following approved right of ways, they could find themselves shot at over someone's property.
@@sackumkhan5973 good point. When flying that low, what is considering trespassing??
what if there was a standard minimum and maximum height for these things while traveling that could be overpowered if necessary
@@RomanMines64 as far as I know that’s how it is with the typical drones these days. There is a maximum altitude and then different areas will also have different laws governing the airspace. I imagine if this takes off and goes public there would end up being a website or app that lets you plan a route that didn’t bust airspace or break any laws. In drones it’s usually self-enforced but if someone sees you busting rules and reports it the FAA investigates

@@sonacphotos ? It is flying higher than the trees in the video. If you fall from that distance, you can get very seriously injured or die. Also powerlines might be a problem.

@@sonacphotos I'm happy for anyone to fly, once they acquire a pilot's license. I just don't want the chick who backed into me in a carpark flying around, surrounded by rotor blades.
My Uncle literally fell from the height of six feet last week and shattered his T12 vertebra. Very luckily he was not paralyzed. Also I really doubt that machine is going to be able to auto rotate like a helicopter. Most likely if you have a rotor failure you are going to dive towards that side directly into the ground. And as was explained in another post, there is zero impact protection offered by this machine. His feet are inches from the front of the unit. I think you misjudge the fragility of the human body. Once again, lots of fun but lots of risk. And I would absolutely try it:)

Dreams come true.....unbelievable
Things never said after flying a Jetson; “love the legroom in this!”
I don't think the pilots would care as much about cupholders and shyte as you do...
What a pioneer...i'm so happy to see this happening in my lifetime...
I would love to have one this is the only air craft that i no that looks 10 times better than any thing that they have coming out or is out .... Yours is the real deal and is real cool great job ....Hope to get one in the future ....
I've looked at sourcing materials to design and make something like this since 2015. I know there are a ton of people here joking about the cost and how "unrelatable it is". But you can fly this in nearly any areas outside of heavily populated areas in the US under FAR guidlines. And being under 100k knowing how much sourcing components will cost you is damn impressive.
im thinking about making one as well, starting next year, maybe we can work together?
A buddy of mine owns a Cirrus aircraft that actually has a parachute. I wonder is incorporating a chute into a craft like this would be feasible? If this thing goes down like a DJI, it would suck having issues at 1,500 feet. Very cool video and concept though!
Check their website, ballistic parachute is listed as a feature!
The other craft also has a chute.... Opener's Black Fly... theirs flies higher, faster and longer.... also much more expensive,
Travis, do you trust anything you see on that website? Do you see anywhere on this thing that has a parachute? And, how long do you believe this thing can really fly? I calculate 2-4 minutes, based on the battery, the weight, and the efficiency of those kinds of rotors. Someone in the comments said he called the company, and that they told him it's 3 minutes with an adult male pilot. Personally, I don't trust anything I see on that website. The math doesn't add up. And, again, where in the world is this parachute they say it has? With a craft like this, you'd want a parachute up on top. You don't want a parachute underneath, needing to deploy it through those spinning rotors. Yet, do you see a large parachute on top? Could you even get the thing to an altitude for a parachute to even work, before running out of battery charge?
@@rockethead7 Maybe you should just order one and find out? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah, importantly, you need to be at an altitude where you have sufficient time for: determining you are in an unrecoverable situation, deciding to use the emergency parachute, firing it off, having the canopy deploy fully to take the weight of the craft, and to slow to a descent rate that would be survivable. And you could've dropped 1000 feet in that time. So there will be a general altitude you'd need to be at or above for a BPS to save your ass, and I'm not sure this thing would normally be travelling at said altitude...
Very impressive! Still think the blades should be enclosed in a protective housing of some sort while in operation. Having them exposed like that while they're rotating at high speed just doesn't seem safe to me.

I am not an expert, but i feel there is common characteristic to all flying devices how much energy does it need: 1. per time of being in air. 2. per distance of traveling straight line. 3. per distance of random direction traveling. I think that planes are optimized to use minimum energy for straight line travel. their energy and impulse is accumulated in forward speed. it is gradually wasted by drag (horizontal by incoming air, and vertical (by wings to support weight), and engines just need to refill that waste). In this device i do not see any energy accumulation, nor using vertical air resistance to reduce force needed to support weight. it is (its engines are, without any help) supporting all of its weight all the time, as soon as engines are not running it falls down at full speed. most of its energy is used on weight supporting. it looks like that this device is more energy inefficient in straight line, compared to airplane. Its advantage is to easily change its direction. there could be an option of extending wings. when you are about to fly long distance, you are able, if you want, to extend wings in air, to make you ultra efficient flying machine. as soon as long travel is over, for parking and for flying around single area, you are able to close wings. extension of wings could be fine grained, gradual, controlled automatically by ai, to make you ultra efficient.
helicopters dont have wings ,but im thinking about what hapens if you lose power? an airplane glides ,a hellicopter can autorotate but this ? =D
@Geo Gruia I think you are right. Helicopters and gyrocopter, also like planes, have energy accumulated, but in main rotor. this device has energy accumulated in its rotors, also, but it is negligible due to small radius and low rotor weight.
@@geog26 some helicopters have wings
Lmao, adding extending wings to copters..... LMAOOOOOOOO, i can't even, this is what happens when teenagers start discussing like they're experienced engineers
@@Narcan885 Sir the video clearly shows a manned drone, not a helicopter. Smh i think you've had enough tonight i'm cutting you off
At 63 and 69 years of age. We hope to see this genisis for human freedom in our remaining life time. Yes we would buy and operate.
Beautiful flight, thanks for video 👍👍👍
I imagine this could be implemented in search and rescue. The open cockpit low elevation view. Easily deployable and maneuverable in rugged terrain. The possibilities seem endless for the future of this remarkable vehicle.
it has to be very specific area of search because I'd imagine the range on this (or flight duration for that matter) to be very limited.
this thing fly for 3/4 minutes.
Range increase greatly if you skip the pilot .
@@CHMichael If you skip having to be rescued as well then this thing is truly remarkable
There are these things called 'helicopters' that are already used for search and rescue
What a fantastic thing. Richard Pearce and the Wright Bros would be proud of you guys. The multiple motor design and the means of controlling/piloting the machine is genius. I'm going to buy one somehow. I'll see you anon.
I really like you saying you'll buy one somehow vs the "I'll never be able to afford this" comments... Keep at it, work hard. I really hope it works out for you.
i hope you're not my neigbhour with this loud ass machine.
Wilber Wright: Yeah, yeah, kool thingy, boss... Now lemme get this straight... inside these little black rectangles... everyone has the whole world?!? 🤯
Crazy fun for 15 minutes.
it is my dream to fly on one of these things! I love flying and I picture myself flying in that thing all the time!
Hobby drones are going to be everywhere. Not all will have RID. Good luck.
What a fantastic engineering achievement, the guys at Jetson got the design spot on , watching these videos shows what is possible, well done Jetson 👍👍
LOL
That's my childhood dream right there! Amazing machine.
Mine was fun but a gyrocopter back in the 70s but this really look cool thank you for sharing
Looks awesome for about 5 months out of the year.
You should probably considr some shock mounted landing gear btw, its really easy to damage your back with a solid landing gear so something to consider for the commercial release
You could also put smaller system into the seat suitable for pilot weight without adding heavy landing gear suited for entire Jetson weight.
@@menotyou1234 That would compromise internal space, and it could also feel a bit weird well flying. Shocks can actually be very light weight, so i dont think it would add a lot of weight as landing gear.
they can't have any more weight. it already can't fly long that's why they have to always edit so heavily.
@@flazederg6800 it's already too heavy thats why they don't really show it flying without editing. it can't stay up long at all id guess 4 minutes max
Air shocks from the rear of a modern full suspension MTB would work, but you have to remember that these things are built as light as possible. Any extra chassis or weight is a killer for range/battery life. Needless to say, this type of transportation is not really going to work efficiently until someone cracks the power storage to weight conundrum. Lightweight, small, high capacity batteries just don't exist yet. Whoever invents them will be a billionaire overnight.
Dzięki :) Tomek, pokazujesz ,że warto mieć marzenia i je realizować:)
I can’t wait to be able to afford one one of these a 100 years from now.
I love jetson and theirs drone.
Perfect - thanks for sharing and congrats 👍 ! This would make the flying around the hills I ride my bike to work so much more beautiful!
Not if the sky is filled with them.
@@DextraVisual not currently feasible with the price...
In my teenage years, when I was just about to fall asleep, I often felt (or wanted to feel) like my bed was floating in the air and it went wherever I wanted it to go. It was always low altitude flight above the trees and scene was a bit hazy as I would be half asleep at that point. It was so relaxing. This video is the closest I have ever been to that feeling.
Iqtadar Haiider…….what were you smoking?
@@timothycollins1968 😂 I was expecting someone to say that. Those were Lucid dreams.
Ha ha, I had dreams. I could fly and my control of the flight path was via my outstretched arms I would twist my wrist to alter lift, just as I did as a child in a car with my arms out of the window. Sighhhh happier and simpler days.
@@Marie579 same here
It was my pillow that flew me around. I would wake up to a very squished pillow.
Soundtrack - perfectly fits for video. Freedom.
This is insane!!😍
this is insane !!! cant wait for the future
I can only think how the next jetson one generation would look like this is awesome keep it up! It’s getting better and better while the time goes by!
We started out with horses which men have been doing for many centuries. Then cars came along and that has only been recent for nearly two centuries. Imagine in the next century or two, everybody would be able to afford flying cars as the next form of transportation! We went from horses to cars, and now we are at the birth of flying cars!
incredible!
Sorry for the f word, but this is fucking amazing!!! To see nature contrasted with this glimpse of the future blows me away. So great. Also Jetson is absolutely the one I’m buying. Hands down. Take my order now. I have the money.
Brilliant. Keep up the great work. Soon many of us will be commuting like this. You're one of just a few who are exactly on the right track.
Current aviation laws wouldn't allow mass commuting like this. Controlling a vehicle on a 3d axis is completely different to driving a car. You would need helicopter and aviation law training before even setting foot in one.
@@AndysEastCoastAdventures Not true. Microlight license
Dream on.
I'm seeing a new sport being born at this exact moment. Manned drone races!
lettssss gooooo
That will never happen, if you know drone racing you know that midairs are more common. That would be more than fatal here
@@Klatuu82 Yeah I can't imagine the amount of deadly mid-air collision that would happen if they started racing these.
Alauda and other companies are trying to, I haven't heard any progress recently though
I made such prototype in 2013 with a hundred cc engine and cable and pullies mechanism I drove four rotors each on consist of 3 blades but it was bit heavy and Jetson did it with optimum level .
That was a quick day at work
I’m excited for the future of this. You know there’s going to be races and performance acrobatics. These people would take the same risks as NASCAR, F1 drivers, and airplane racing pilots do. It’s just a matter of time.
yes, more on the safety/emergency features
Now this is pod racing.
45 second races.
Sponsored by Gatorade and RedBull they’ve the wings the plants crave
Cops and military will get it first!
Must be an amazing feeling !👏👌👍
a drone for people! this is so awesome!!
Your freedom is a breath of fresh air.
