$92,000 for a kit though definitely on the high end of things. So much cooler than a go-cart
sounds like something we should DIY at the space
@michaelb You want to help with the motor drivers?
Iâll do the welds as long as Iâm not the first test pilot.
Ringing endorsement.
It should be noted that it is a swedish AC and might not yet be certified by the FAA. On top of that $92k price tag you will most likely require a pilots license, which is another chunk of change.
Details, nothing but details⌠Bring it on!
Actually⌠itâs less than 1320lbs and flys under 120 knots, so it would fall under ultralight aircraft which requires no license or certificates to Pilot.
For a reference source that lists the specific regulation and links to it.
Oooo, I want one real bad. Have to factor in the price of all the drugs Iâll need to buy to get under the pilot weight limitâŚ
I think youâre thinking of a light sport aircraft, which you still need a pilots license, just not a physical.
It is classified and being sold as an ultra-light aircraft.
From the Observer article:
Makes sense how itâs classed as an ultralight. Kind of surprised that the regs havenât been updated to deal with battery-powered aircraft but I suppose the effective flight time remains sufficiently low that theyâre not worried about endurance of electric aircraft.
Sure! Now whereâs the moneyâŚ
You donât understand, you get to fly! Youâll get so much exposure up there.
Iâll volunteer to be test pilot. Wanted something like this since I was a kid.

âDear Jetson, Please send me one Jetson One aircraft so I can use it in my IG and TikTok where I have over 1 follower. The exposure you will get from my influence will more than cover the cost of the aircraft. Also itâs my kidâs birthday (and they have cancer) and I already promised them a ride.â
