As Malaysia’s talk about flying vehicles remains stagnant, another company in Europe has put their new flying vehicle on sale. Named the Jetson One, the company hopes that the flying vehicle will become the first choice of transport in a decade.
Costing USD 92,000 (~RM 387,000), the Jetson One is founded by a Swedish-based eVTOL startup Jetson. Since its launch, the founders reportedly received overwhelming responses from buyers and investors.

The company claims the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle is very simple pilot, owners will be able to learn the ropes of manoeuvring the vehicle in just five minutes.
Though the vehicle is capable of speeds of 102 km/h, the current battery pack only allows for 20 minutes of flying.
According to EVTOL.com, Jetson founders are not looking to solve the mobility issues the world is facing, they merely aim to show the people how profoundly fun and exciting it is to fly. They hope that they can make everybody a pilot in the future.
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
