Jetson ONE - Experiencing The Freedom of Flying

Any chance of seeing an unedited 15-20 min flight video w/ or w/o commentary. A POV video of Preflight checks > Boarding > Take off > Flying Around > Landing, would be great to see. These trailers are cool and all but what is it actually like to fly around in this thing.

Look up the Moulson Flying Car.......

The basic idea with the consumer version is that you get in, fasten your seatbelt, and tap a destination on the nav screen......That's it.....You can send you kids off to school in these things....by themselves. Is that scheme just around the corner? No, probably not. But the technology is pretty much off the shelf at this point.....And, if Elon Musk is right in his predictions (and he usually is) there are battery's coming in the near future that operate with many times the energy densities presently available.

I drew a similar design sometime back in 2014-2016. I'm glad someone else thought of up-scaling the proven proof of concept of quad-copter drones, and adding the double prop feature for increased thrust and stability. I would suggest some R&D into a light weight aerodynamic prop housing system, connected to the chassis that serves as protection for the props around the edges, as well a grate that would protect the top and bottoms. It would serve to convey safety for the operator and anything or anyone around the vehicle. Great Job!

[@Gnerko123]

I made a similar design out of legos 20 years ago as a kid lol. The idea isn’t that unique, the execution is very much so.

[@Wrublos212]

More thrust of counter rotating blades? Yes. More stability? I'm not so sure. Second propeller works with disrupted flow of upper prop causing inefficient work and vibrations. Even by the sound you can tell it's not the best solution. But it's save space, giving more thrust ( not twice as much, there is some loss with that configuration). Hexcopter would not be so compact and weight of another engine mounts, arms could overcome benefits of having engines separate. 8 engines is also nice failsafe, but helicopters and planes looks more safe as they both can glide/autorotate and land without propulsion. In here you falling like a rock. Fun project tho :) Have a nice day, guys

You should look into paramotors. They are the same concept, but actually currently have a worldwide community of flyers. Plus, they are much more affordable compared to something like this. You are even able to fly above the clouds with them. The big difference is, you need a parachute wing to help lift and glide you through the air.

Also since its got 8 motors, it should be pretty snappy (88kW isn't crazy performance, but it should have a good enough rotational mass that its inertia change should twist the whole airframe reasonably well). Now are you going to run 1200 degrees per second yaw rates? No it probably won't run over 3 rotations per second, but I also feel you're going to sit there vomiting as you spin and some of that vomit's going to "hit the fan" as they say splashing everyone below and probably yourself too. I think the limit is going to be when your brain gets fuzzy and you think upside down is rightside up (happens to a lot of pilots, not even stunt pilots), but if they have an auto level switch activate on a 5 second timer I'd love to fly to 5k feet altitude and just see how much I could take without passing out on one of these. Sure a centrifuge or something on the ground spinning would be safer, but I think it would be cool amusement park ride with this as the level 10 aggressive flight option at the end of flying around a park if they can automate it safely after lots of tests.

it would be a different aircraft. what you are describing would be a hybrid of sorts that would also fulfil its requirements better with a hybrid drivetrain. however, complexity and weight would increase drastically. this here is designed to do exactly what you are seeing. any modifications would make the concept drift out of its designed target.

[@SugarSugar75]

@@richierich.1982 Maybe you know. I’m just curious. As a drone pilot, if I can take off and climb to 10 feet, I can also do another 10 feet on top of that. I’m not talking about commercial airline altitude, but could it land on a roof of a tall building? Maybe it’s just for safety reasons that they don’t have it doing anything more than skimming the surface. Is that your take?

[@BoomerKeith1]

The listed flight ceiling is 1,500 feet AGL, and that may be because of current limitations (in the US) that restricts flight above a certain threshold without being an actual airplane (I don't know what the flight restrictions are, so maybe someone that does can chime in). The current battery provides 20 minutes flight time on a charge.

[@tung1206]

I wonder if you could apply auto correct to the rotors if they can feedback the air pressure underneath. With cameras, when the pilot twist the control to turn left/right, we may be able to get the craft to auto level itself after the turn while maintaining the same position relative to objects around it. It's similar to how Tesla cameras determine distance and movements of other cars. This can takes a lot of training off the pilot.

It would be nice to have the "flight app", like Dji. I have several drones with auto take off, landing, return to home functions which basically take the pilot out of the equation (pilot override also available) for all the rough stuff and focus on pilot safety. the app should also take your weight into consideration for these maneuvers.

Would you consider any shock mitigation in the seat to reduce spinal injury in a hard landing or flat landing from power failure during hover.

[@richardmiddleton7770]

I was thinking maybe a giant air bag that deployed underneath. Although it looks to have dual motors at each corner and I assume it can still fly if one went down or even one from each corner. I presume they all have their own controller so it would have to be an entire power system failure which would be unlikely. At higher altitudes it could have a parachute to slow the decent if it lost all power.

[@daszieher]

@@richardmiddleton7770 the (valid) points you raise, unfortunately do not address the risk of spinal injury, they just reduce the probability of it happening. Two entirely different things. Often the crumple structure(s) can be integrated into the frame, thus not necessarily making the vehicle heavier. Certain mitigation of this very obvious risk would actually be nice to have.

Its about the same cost as a pickup truck (except electric instead of fuel, no insurance required, nor tags or traffic cameras at red lights) As for training, in most parts of the world this qualifies as an ultralight, so essentially no license requirement (kind of like a bicycle or motorized bicycles, except probably a lower death per mile rate considering how insane car drivers are wanting to kill anything on 2 wheels. By the way, in the US motorcycles have over a 33x higher death rate than cars per mile, so its not like having a license makes you "safe", no you're just as dead either way). The cost barrier on this will prevent most idiots from just hopping on, sure there are rich idiots, but when you spend that much and know you're likely to die if you're stupid, well that alone usually gets them to pay a little for training (like paramotors, those are actually quite safe but still people often buy a "package deal" which includes training from the seller because its kind of a good idea, not required but very few just shout YOLO! as they jump off a cliff with one for the first time).
