Jetson has delivered its first Jetson ONE to customer Palmer Luckey, who took his first flight using the aircraft’s fly-by-wire controls.
This marks an important milestone—the start of Jetson’s global rollout and a major step forward in personal aviation.
The Jetson ONE was delivered to a facility in Carlsbad, California, where Jetson’s Founder and CTO, Tomasz Patan, and CEO, Stephan D’haene, joined in person for the unboxing and pre-flight checks.
Palmer Luckey, an experienced pilot and aviation enthusiast, completed his ground training in under 50 minutes before taking control for his first low-altitude flights—a record that highlights his strong grasp of advanced technology.
Good luck! I suspect that these aircraft are only for individuals who are experienced pilots. If it’s not licensed by the FAA and ordinary citizens are allowed to use it. There will be a lot of air to air collisions and small craters in the ground. The reason being…even if “ordinary” people were able to get through ground training while looking at their smart phone they would continue to stare at the phone while flying the same as when they are driving. Probably a few will be sold but not enough to stay in business.
