Company owner completes ‘first ever’ commute in £68k space-age flying car
A company owner has completed the ‘first ever’ commute in a £68k space-age flying car.
Tomasz Patan, co-founder of Swedish firm Jetson, piloted the Jetson ONE vehicle from his Italian home to a company building in Tuscany. The firm say the journey was reduced by 88%.
Jetson say the trip to the Santa Maria a Monte facility is a “momentous occasion for the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) sector.”
The aircraft is powered by eight electric motors, has a flight time of 20 minutes, and can reach a top speed of 102kph (63mph).
It is constructed of a race car inspired lightweight aluminium space frame and Carbon-Kevlar composite body.
Running on a high discharge lithium-ion battery, the vehicle can carry a pilot’s weight of 210 pounds (100kg).
San Sunner, Jetson Head of Communications, explains: “On 21 May, after months of rigorous testing, the Jetson team completed the first-ever eVTOL commute.
“The team waited in anticipation for the Jetson ONE arrival at the Santa Maria a Monte facility in Tuscany.”
Tomasz Patan, co-founder and CTO, said: “Our long-term goal is to democratise flight. We firmly believe the 'eVTOL' is the future for mass transportation. We are committed to making this a reality."
“The Jetson is built like a formula one car for the sky and incredibly fun to fly. Most importantly, the Flight Stabilisation System we developed makes flight super easy. We can make anyone a pilot in less than five minutes.” Said Peter Ternstrom, co-founder and President.
Jetson say their prototype "proof of concept" was finished in the spring of 2018, and have since been working on a “consumer-friendly” version.
They add: “The entire 2022 production is sold out, but we are accepting orders for 2023 delivery.”
