The Jetson One personal eVTOL has taken to the skies in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The Jetson One flight happened at the UP.Summit, an annual event that aims to explore the future of transportation.
Hailed as a ‘Formula One race car for the sky’, the Jetson One is a super cool personal flying machine.
And the team just showed exactly what it could do when it got in the air.

The Jetson One eVTOL doesn’t require a pilot’s license
The electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) industry is really taking off, pardon the pun.
In recent years, we’ve seen a slew of cool new ideas and concepts, like the Hexa human drone or the futuristic S4 air-taxi from Joby Aviation.
But one of the most distinctive, and popular, eVTOLs is the Jetson One.
Made from lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber, it’s powered by eight powerful motors driving eight propellers.
It’s smaller than some of the other eVTOLs out there, and only has room for one passenger.
It has a top speed of 63mph and a flight time of around 20 minutes.
Although it takes to the skies, you don’t need a pilot’s license to fly the eVTOL, and anyone can be taught how to safely use it with only minimal training.
The company was founded in Poland but have since relocated to the US, where its been showing off exactly what the neat little flying machine can do.
Back in May, Jetson put on the world’s first eVTOL race, and more recently the Jetson One appeared at the 2025 UP.Summit in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The eVTOL took off, zipped around on a solo flight, and then safely came back down to the ground in front of 20,000 spectators.
Pre-orders for the Jetson One have flown in
The Jetson One is branded ‘the first affordable eVTOL on the market’ by its creators.
But if you’re wondering exactly how affordable that is, the price is currently listed at $128,000, but is set to go up to $148,000 after November 3, 2005.
To pre-order, you’ll need to hand over an $8,000 deposit and be prepared for a bit of a wait as the company says its entire production is sold out until 2028.
Jetson CEO Stephan D’haene recently confirmed to Robb Report that it has received more than 520 pre-orders for the Jetson One.
