(5,727 posts)A startup from Sweden has developed a personal flying vehicle that it says 'anyone can fly' called the Jetson One, and it is available for £66,000 ($92,000).
The all electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft was launched this month, three years after the firm released a 'proof of concept' prototype in 2018.
'Our mission is to make flight available to everyone. The Jetson one is an electric helicopter that you can own and fly. We intend to make everyone a pilot,' said Jetson co-founder Peter Ternstrom.
The single-seat 'built at home' kit-copter can zoom along at 63mph thanks to its lightweight aluminium and carbon fibre frame and 118 horesepower engine.

--------------------
Max speed is 63mph and can fly 15 minutes on a charge, so max range will be 15 miles.

(5,727 posts)The funny thing is, I've become so jaded and skeptical when I see videos like this, that I really thought it was computer generated. I had to look to a couple of different sources to confirm it was real.
