2021 Jetson One in flight

• ... that the Jetson One is a personal eVTOL aircraft that does not require a pilot license? Source: These 5 eVTOLs Let You Take to the Skies Without a Pilot’s License and legal to fly the Jetson ONE in the US without a license or any real training at all, because it’s classified as an ultralight aircraft. and The vehicle is an electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft that will cost $98,000 and won’t require a pilot’s license to fly
  • ALT1: ... that the Jetson One aircraft can reach an altitude of 1,500 ft (460 m) at speeds of 63 mph (101 km/h) and the operator does not need a pilot license? Source: 63mph and soar up to an altitude of 1,500 feet.

  • Comment: There may be another hook in there but I did not want to cross a line regarding promotional. Also the image is a screen-grab from a YouTube video that was licensed for Creative commons- the image is not essential for understanding the hook.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: On hold for the above issues.The hook isn't a showstopper but wanted to see what @Lightburst: thought. Since its classed as an ultralight, not requiring a pilots license is something that's shared with all other ultralights in the US. The most unique aspect is ultimately the dronelike electric vtol aspects. For the sake of interest, you could lean into the description as a flying car since I don't know if eVTOL is a phrase most people will be aware of. You could highlight the parachute system which remains pretty unique in the aircraft world, mostly coming from aircraft using the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System which is relatively small. Happy with everything. Original hook or one of the three ALT's below all look good. Will leave the selection of the hook to the queuer Seddon ^talk 23:28, 17 December 2023 (UTC) Seddon ^talk 20:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@Seddon: I see - I was studying the reason for the commons deletion since I obtained the image from a creative commons licensed video. I see now that you located a video source which was apparently copied in order to create the video. Regarding the hook, since this is a design which differs from a conventional ultralight I thought it was interesting. I will explore another hook,

• ALT2: ... that the Jetson One aircraft has eight drone-like engines, can reach an altitude of 1,500 ft (460 m), and it can travel 63 mph (101 km/h)?

• ALT3: ... that the Jetson One aircraft is an eVTOL that is equipped with a rapid-deploying ballistic parachute?

• ALT4: ... that Forbes magazine said of the Jetson One aircraft, "Flying Cars Are Here"?

Out of these I think I like ALT4 best, what do you think? Lightburst (talk) 22:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@Lightburst: I think I have a preference for ALT 3 or ALT4 but the original or ALT2 2 would suffice. Will leave that decision to the queuer. All looks good! Thanks! Almost jealous I didn't get to write this myself. Seddon ^talk 23:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
