Jetson ONE - Range and Endurance Flight Test - How Far Can You Fly?

What is the Jetson ONE flight time? What is the range?
These are the two most asked questions we get.
Earlier this spring we performed a series of endurance tests of the Jetson ONE. Flight was done out of ground effect at 730ft Mean Sea Level.
With a best cruise speed of 60km/h (37mph) we covered a total distance of 17.74km (11.02 miles).
The flight test was performed at Foligno regional airport (LIAF).
Jetson is on a mission to define the future of air mobility and transportation.

How high can it far or does it always fly in ground effect? How many engines can fail and still stay in the air? How many engines can fail on the same side and still fly? What was the distance of one lap? How many KM or miles do you estimate it flew? Have you considered a ballistic parachute recovery system or is that too much weight? Can you charge it at a TESLA Charger? Does it have a feature where the pilot can push a button and it will do a RTB and hover? Do you have weight and balance numbers; MTOW, useful load, empty weight, max weight of pilot? Where is all the data for the Jetson. I have a ton of questions I guess.

With the current battery tech (even new tech 10-20 years down the road), it will never reach 1 hour flight times. Right now, it would be 7 miles out before needing to turn around.

I genuinely find even these pretty and fun inventions we make to be a step towards a dystopian future, but I have to say, that the scifi nerd in me LOVES it. And if you ever get to something like 30mile range, it would be immensely practical (at least in an ideal scenario in which you can fly anywhere without complication or additional flying vehicles)

[@darknes7800]

It can travel about 1 mile per minute, top speed. If this test was run at top speed, it means the thing has about 18 miles of range....assuming you have recharge capabilities at your landing site. Or 7 miles of range, before having to return to the hanger for a recharge. J1 will never be part of minor or mass transportation, due to its limited range based on its limited ability to carry its own batter pack. The entire EV market is in decline due to those limitations and the publics desire for quick and efficient refueling (ie ICE vehicles). Bottom line, its a toy.

[@mi1stormilst]

Simply awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@rbarlow]

I suspect flying in ground effect like this greatly improves the range. Fly it above about 100 ft above ground level to show its real range not flying over a flat surface in ground effect. Still an impressive and fun looking machine.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

@@rbarlow it's not in ground effect. Ground effect ends at twice the diameter of a rotor blade. These rotor blades are about 3-4 feet in diameter and they're mounted 3-4 feet off the ground so it's barely in ground effect at a hover. Ground effect also disappears as you increase speed and you get ETL which is what gives you the most performance increase. Performance above 16-24 knots will be equal 5 feet off the ground vs 100 feet off the ground. This is not impressive, it's a novelty dangerous hover craft

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

@@620ironwolf ground effect has nothing to do with feet above the ground... It's relative to the diameter of the rotor disk. The diameter of these rotor blades make it so it barely has ground effect at a 3 foot hover, if at all. ETL is what will increase the performance which is not effected by altitude and has to do with velocity. Ground effect, even in a machine and height above the ground capable of taking advantage of it disappears as you gain forward airspeed. Ground effect is also greatly decreased over grass or water or any soft moveable surface like sand.

I want one. One thing i would say is while flying low seems fast..... its also the most dangerous way. if something happens you have less than a second before you hit the ground at speed. if you climb to 300+ meters and install a whole craft parachute. it would be far safer. I fly paramotor and the danger zone is anything less than about 150 meters. you simply dont have time to react and for a cute to slow you down.

The concept itself and the length of flight time

[@merbeinrobotics1489]

Amazing! I don't think I'd be the first person to think there could be a big market for a pilotless version for agriculture eg the DJIT50.

Please contact Amprius Technologies and make prototpy with their batteries of the future.... Your vehicle has a small battery and they have a small production.... therefore, I think your collaboration will be an excellent show case of technologies that will change the future

The lawn below was mowed by this machine. Outstanding!

It looks awesome even if just for joy riding.......commuting is still not there........thinking of buying one.

So.. if people should one day get into these machines and trust them to not fall out of the sky, wouldn't it be a good idea to provide some useful data if you already decide to take the testing footage to KZbin? I think that someone who buys this is not only going to be a user of a big toy but also a pilot and likely an enthousiast with an interest for everything that is going on with the machine. Providing data or even showing the dashboard would do two things: Raising interest and credibility in the machines capabilities and also building trust by giving the viewer the feeling of dealing with an honest company instead of one that has to hide something. Showing us that it can go 11 miles in level flight is a good thing in its own right, but you could also state that the usable flight time as a fun machine which it seems to be marketed as is a third of these 18 minutes and thirty seconds on a good day. Don't get me wrong because I would love it if you are successful with this project but watching your videos gets me this tingle of why I can't see some actual live machine data every time. Stating limitations of your product and why they are there is easily the best way to gain trust of a lot of potential buyers and also avoiding mis-use and accidents when the first rich kid tries to go 15 miles to the nearest mountain top and losing it half way up. Enough rambling, do what you want with this.

I like the black fly!

[@PracticalTacticalFedeli]

This is something I would love more than anything but will never be able afford 😢

Looks like it's in ground effect to me. Would be interesting to see what kind of drop in runtime there is actually flying.

[@kaposfured]

thank you for great video. good job! iam aeroplane modeller. 18minuts is enough for me;) i want to buy, for every day go to work;)

[@HolaACchillin]

I fly drones, this is pretty impressive considering size/weight and transporting a person I think I want to build one 🤔

[@Woc1919]

And as far as the noise is concerned, we are most likely decades away from being able to address this issue

[@chromatic91]

Only way to get sound "down" with propellers would be increasing their size to lower the frequency enough, but wont do much, jet is also insanely loud... reactionless drive violates laws of physics so honestly i dont even see how we could get a quiet one unless we managed to copy a hummingbird, LOL

[@Woc1919]

@@chromatic91 I agree, unfortunately we are going to need a completely different technology to make personal flying machines practical , it would have to be a technology that almost seems alien like!

It's for fun, imagine flying over a lake with that.

[@kevindowd31021]

I see a great potential for recovery and rescue. I wonder how much the range would be extended if it was hybrid.
