It is a single-seater drone with vertical take-off and landing , whose production phases are already quite advanced: 400 have been sold, with deliveries starting at the end of the year.
Jetson One was presented in the Capital during the Air Mobility Show, the advanced air mobility and electric aviation show at the Fiera di Roma, within the international ZeroEmission Mediterranean fair. For now it is described as a sports vehicle, therefore designed for recreational use , between airfields and small private airports. In reality, the prospects for the future are broader . Being particularly easy to drive , its use is being studied in various fields, such as urban mobility (as a flying taxi) or agriculture, as an irrigator , or even as a means of transporting blood and organs .
Expected delivery, as of today, is not possible before 2026 as the entire production of 2024 and 2025 is sold out.
