Possibly from cave times human dream to fly like a bird. And since the days of airplanes, on a personal aircraft. Now this dream has become a reality.
Of course, private jets have been around for a long time, but they have to land at the airport. Flying cars allow you to take off from the garden of your home and land in the parking lot of your work.. This is what Tomasz Patan, founder of Jetson Aero and inventor Jetson ONE, the world’s first commercial eVTOL.
In this video you can see the first ever real ride from home to work in a flying car. We recommend that you see it in its entirety because it is spectacular:
As we see Tomasz Patan takes off in his Jetson ONE from his garden., and goes to work flying at a height of 5 or 10 meters. At some points in the middle of the video, he reaches a very high speed, close to 100 km/h. This is not a recreational vehicle.
In a few minutes, the CEO of Jetson Aero lands on a small helipad located in the car park of the company’s offices. Travel time has been reduced by 88% compared to traveling by car. And not polluting.
Tomasz Patan’s “flying car” is actually eVOTL, vertical takeoff electric aircraft. Basically, a drone that fits a person. It measures just 2.8 x 2.4 x 1 meter and the rotors can be folded down to take up even less space. So will fit in any garage.
It is equipped with 8 rotors distributed over 4 arms, which provide 88 kW of power, which allows a speed of 102 km/h. The flight ceiling is about 500 meters.but the standard height, as we have seen, is about 8 or 10 meters.
This is eVTOL, which is already on sale for around 100,000 euros.. 174 units have already been sold, all production until 2023, except for 3 that are still free.
And though it’s true what we saw in the video first real commute from home to work in eVTOLthere are a few things to keep in mind.
First place to fly the Jetson ONE, you need to get a pilot’s license. at the moment you can fly only in uninhabited areas, so both your home and workplace should be in isolated areas. D Jetson ONE has a power reserve of about 20 minutes.so the work must be there.
But if you fulfill these conditions and you have 100,000 euros in the bank, an old dream of mankind has come true: drive to work in your own flying car. What will happen next?
