Jetson was founded by Peter Ternström and Tomasz Patan in October 2017 originally as Jetson Aero with its headquarters Poland, then moving to Sweden. The original name of the Jetson Prototype was the Jetson Aero Speeder but this name was dropped. The company's goal is to make safe personal electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft available to purchase by anyone. The company is currently based in Palo Alto, California, USA.

The Jetson prototype, their proof of concept, was developed during the autumn of 2017 and was finished in the spring of 2018. The original name of the prototype was the Speeder. The first successful flight was in January 2018. The first crewed flight was on the 28th of February 2018 in Tuscany, Italy and with further crewed flights in Poznan, Poland. Now that the prototype has been made and test flown, the company is moving forward to create a consumer friendly eVTOL model. The fuselage is an H configuration with the propellers and electric motors on each corner of the aircraft. One electric motor failing would not end in a catastrophic event.

Jetson One passenger eVTOL production model multicopter aircraft
The Jetson One is a one passenger eVTOL production model multicopter aircraft. To fly the aircraft, the pilot uses a four axis joystick, uses flight computers, has a radar sensor driven auto landing system, has hands free hovering capability and the aircraft has emergency safety systems. The cockpit is an open cockpit with roll bars, the pilot wears a full-face helmet and uses safety harnesses. Multiple production aircraft have been and flight tested including air racing, formation flying and practicing emergency rescue operations.

While the cruise speed is unknown, the maximum speed of the aircraft is 102 km/h (63 mph). The flight time of the multicopter is approximately 20 minutes. The maximum altitude for the aircraft is 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL). The aircraft has eight stacked propellers, has eight electric motors and is powered by battery packs. The empty weight of the aircraft with batteries is 115 kg (253 lb), has a maximum payload weight of 95 kg (210 lb) and has a maximum takeoff weight of 210 kg (463 lb). The airframe is made of aluminum space metal. The aircraft lands on the bottom of the airframe.

From the Jetson's website

  • It has a race car inspired spaceframe safety cell design
  • The aircraft can fly safely with the loss of one motor
  • It has a redundant battery propulsion system
  • In case of an inflight emergency, there is a ballistic parachute with rapid deployment time
  • It is an easy aircraft to fly
  • It is the first affordable eVTOL on the market
  • There is no pilot’s license required in the United States
  • You can learn to fly the multicopter aircraft in less than five minutes
  • It is fun to fly

Sales Price
As of September 2025, the Jetson website shows the selling price for the production model is $128,000.00 USD (plus taxes and other fees) and the company is sold out for both 2025 and 2026. In addition, the estimated delivery dates for these orders is in 2027. (All the information in this paragraph is from the company's website as of September 2025 and is subject to change at anytime.)

  • Cruise speed: Unknown
  • Maximum speed: 102 km/h (63 mph)
  • Flight time (approximately): 20 minutes
  • Maximum altitude: 1,500 feet agl (above ground level)
  • Empty weight: 55 kg (121 lb)
  • Empty weight with batteries: 115 kg (253 lb)
  • Maximum payload weight: 95 kg (210 lb)
  • Maximum takeoff weight: 210 kg (463 lb)

  • Width of aircraft when propellers are folded: 980 mm (3.22 ft)
  • Cockpit: Open cockpit with roll bars
  • Landing gear: Fixed skid landing gear (lands on the bottom of its airframe)
  • Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) uses multiple propellers or electric ducted fans, each powered by electric motors, to increase safety through redundancy. If one or more components fail, the remaining ones can still ensure a safe landing. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft providing safety through redundancy. Having multiple redundant systems on any aircraft decreases having any single point of failure. There is also a whole aircraft emergency ballistic parachute in case of an unexpected inflight emergency. The aircraft has no moving surfaces or tilting parts when transitioning from vertical to forward flight and the reverse which increases safety by reducing complexity.
