Jetson ONE Primed to Deliver

Jetson AB, a Stockholm, Sweden-based eVTOL developer, has begun accepting a limited number of orders for the Jetson ONE, a single-seat eVTOL featuring a rigid aluminum frame and eight electric motors. The company was founded in 2017 in Poznan, Poland, and began flying its “Speeder” prototype in January 2018 (see Electric VTOL News, March/April 2019). Jetson completed the first Jetson ONE prototype in 2020. It was officially unveiled on Oct. 21, 2021, at which point it began accepting a limited number of orders for delivery in 2022 and 2023. The 200-lb (90-kg) Jetson ONE is being sold for $136,000 and, as of December 2021, customers had reserved all but three of the available aircraft. “The Jetson ONE is an electric helicopter that you can own and fly,” Jetson co-founder Peter Ternström said in a statement. “We intend to make everyone a pilot.”
