Damn I Want One (Jetson Personal Aircraft)
- Thread starter Wildman
- Start date
I had the same kind of thought.....Plus $92k to fly for roughly 20 minutes (assuming I'm below 210 lbs). Seems a little absurd to me.
I'm the right size at 5'6" and 162lbs. I think I should get one, or two.
You get one (or two) and TJ Fest 2024 is going to be INSANE!
Cheap for an airplane... Brand New, anyway.
It would be awesome in Moab (if you could get away with it). I'd love to fly up over the Sandflats Recreation Area and down the Colorado River through the canyon. Loan it out to folks

I'd prefer to get one of JOe Biden's invisible jetpacks:
accurate. But I think they could be made much less expensively if quantities were scaled up to more than 50 per year so the development cost could be spread out.
You can get an old single engine Cessna for a lot less, but there's storage at a landing strip, and a million other expenses with a small plane.
So maybe 90K for a flying machine that you can take anywhere, and store at home isn't such a bad deal.
I thought about an ultralight years ago, but you still need a short landing strip, and there are lots of do's and don'ts with them now a days. And I don't think they're as compact or as fast.

Have a friend who's seriously in the market for one of these, about $350k last I talked to him. He currently rents them to have fun.
OP
Yes @ a base price of $92k it's not for everyone. But if you can afford it I'm sure you'd be having a blast playing with it.
OP
I definitely would. But yeah, definitely can't afford.
OP
I liked it until I saw its absolutely stupid-high $92,000 price for an oversized drone. I can buy a good real airplane for less than that.
Yeah, I think the drone has a very specific recreational use. Certainly not for travel like an airplane. For me it would be like a Razr on steroids, a fun toy, but nothing more. Certainly for the wealthy.

This is like everything else. It's time will come. For those of us old enough, remember when they talked about self driving and electric cars in the 70s? A lot of people laughed and said, "not in my lifetime!". And, here we are!
