Described as a “formula one racing car for the sky,” the Jetson One is an electric-powered VTOL sky toy that can hover, bank, and reach speeds of up to 63 mph. The company’s latest video will leave you wanting it more than ever.

Last October, we highlighted the aerial moves of a personal electric single-passenger drone that certainly got our attention. The Jetson One is an electric vertical take-off-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicle that sits in a sweet spot between commercial air taxis and outrageous flying cars.

Now the company is back, marking the release of its first production-line vehicle with the following 10-minute-long video that shows just how fun the One is to steer through the sky.

Modeled after the crash cage in racing cars, the open-air One is extremely compact. It’s also extraordinarily easy to pilot, thanks to its fly-by-wire system that lets the operator control eight different motors with a single joystick. Thanks to construction using aluminum and carbon fiber, the rig is pretty light, weighing just about 190 lb (86 kg). It can travel for up to 20 minutes on a single charge and it is admirably nimble, able to hover, bank, and even go in reverse while zooming through the sky.

“It also seems pretty safe” I guess if you consider a high speed motorcycle “very safe”, then yeah. Uh-huh… Does look like fun, though.

Need a pilot license to fly? take off and land at airports, or anywhere?

Looks noisy. What is the dB volume? And good luck if a rotor disintegrates for any reason.

Why don’t they use ducted propellers?

US $128,000 for something that you can’t fly other than in an open field is the height of stidity. Yeah it’s cool, and I would love to give it a go, but you can’t fly it unless you have access to a big open field. I can see tourism/adventure business but for 99.9% it’s a pricey folly.
