Ummm, yeah. $148,000 is affordable. And I’m thinking the FAA will be very interested in how and where it’s flown. But hold on to your hats depositors, this company is going belly up after one or two are produced, if it lasts that long.

Aren't a few of you still waiting for those Merwin & Hulbert repros that somebody was taking deposits on about 10 or 15 years ago?

5 gallons of fuel can run an inverter generator for a while, and electric motors make sense. It's classed as an ultralight and needs no license to operate.

 

Even if it never takes off ( see what I did there) it's one heck of proof of concept hybrid aircraft

Not a hybrid. Uses High Discharge Li-Ion battery(s) with a published flight time of about 20 min and a range of 11 miles. Real world flight time is likely closer to 15 min.

 

Does state that you can buy extra batteries that can be swapped so you are not waiting for the installed batteries to recharge.

A novel concept - like this one.  Wonder what the future holds?

Sorry got it crossed with this one

At $150K for the Jetson One, I'll have to stick with the Flintstone One....

 

 

[Eyesa Horg]

Me too!

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

$148,000.00 for 20 minutes's flying time?

 

Hey, if that's what you want to spill your fortune over, be my guest.  I can drive my 8 year old Impala for the rest of my life for that and still have enough for a funeral fit for royalty.

All ain't as hoped....

Jim Bede was a real huckster. Many people got separated from their money on this and other ventures.

I guess I am going to have to stick with motorcycles. I can’t afford that price. At least not until I win the big one.

Uh huh. To my knowledge they haven’t yet built one that flies. They better get cracking.

Do you have  a date when that will happen?

At least he's made more progress than Moller and his Sky Car. He's been working on it since the 80s.

It’ll probably be the day after I am dead and someone rifling through my wallet will find the winning ticket.

Everyone should have a hobby, but why did you choose pessimism?  ;D
