this thing is bad ass. i want one.



expensive af lol, but under $100k is better than costing millions. i think it can only go for 20 minutes, and top speed is like 65mph, but still... crazy to think where we will be with personal aircrafts in 20 years.

I need to open me a kickstarter so you guys can buy me one.

Some years ago we looked sci-fi movies and thought: "One day in the far future it will be possible." Now we are here.

A lot of techbros are going to die in this thing lmao. Looks super fun though.

Great until you end up like Vic Morrow.

People can't even drive regular cars safely and you expect them to drive this thing without both killing themselves and others?

Hard pass + I'm against it.

and they announced it on the day George Jetson was conceived in the HB lore (100% serious)

Doesn't it go any higher? I was constantly waiting for the guy to pull up and soar above the treeline. If this is all it's nothing but a glorified lawn mower!

The Jetson One only accommodates people weighing less than 210 pounds. I'm out.

that's cool, don't get me wrong, and i love the forest path... but these things just won't really capture my imagination until they have repulser lifts and hover... and since that is, i assume, a physical impossibility, yeah... fluh

 

[GeekyDad]

It is cool, the ridiculously overly triumphant music notwithstanding. But with all this new technology, honestly, it's not the tech that frightens me, it's the inevitable lack of restrictions and oversight from regulators due to the money backing these techs that make it to market that frighten me.

The 20min flight time is shit. If I'm going to drop a six figure sum then I want a least a few hours of flight time. 2 hours at the bare minimum.

Cool. I can't think of many uses though. In crowded areas doubt these will ever be legal.
