![]() Now Patan with his business partner Peter Ternström are working on their offer and production. It could also be used to transport sensitive cargos such as blood or transplant organs. From extreme sports and racing, search and rescue missions to a patrol vehicle for the police, border guards and armed forces. The possible uses for the car are numerous. ![]() “Never in history has access to flight been so easy.” “The Jetson Aero company, established at the end of 2017, set itself the goal of creating an available to all, easy to pilot, electric-powered and, above all, safe air go-kart”, Patan explained. What makes the Speeder different is the purpose its designers have in mind. We did not try to invent the Holy Grail of the future of transport - it is only the first step on the long and winding road to it,” said Patan. “The Jetson Speeder is an extremely sophisticated ‘toy’ or gadget, similar to a water scooter or quad. To make it even safer, the Speeder is equipped with a ballistic parachute, anti-collision sensors and all systems are backed-up. The vehicle is designed to be easy to control thanks to the automatic stabilizing systems and GPS-based sensors. The ready to use Speeder will weigh only 80 kilograms. The Speeder is built on an aluminum frame, which in the future should be replaced by carbon composite for enhanced durability and lightness. Test flights have already taken place and the first Speeder should go on sale later this year. The final version of Speeder will let the pilot experience 20 minutes of flight.” “The flight time of the prototype is a maximum of 15 minutes. “The motors can generate a load carrying force twice the weight of the vehicle together with the pilot and accelerate it to 120 kmh,” he added. Tomasz Patan, the man behind the Speeder’s technical design and construction, told TFN: “Speeder is a prototype of an electric single-person flying vehicle. ![]() Their imagined flying saucer-like cars take the shape of aerodynamic capsules with rotors attached or, in case of Jetson Aero’s model, eight powerful electric motors with lithium batteries, similar to those used by Tesla. What the 1960s Hana-Barbera’s cartoon ‘The Jetsons’ envisioned as an undefined future is becoming reality. With giants such as Boeing and Airbus unveiling their own versions of a flying car and a PAL-V from Holland supposed to hit the shops this year, Poles are putting their own spin on the application and construction of flying cars. Polish company Jetson Aero successfully completed the test flights of their personal air vehicle (PAV) prototype called the Speeder, opening the way to commercial production of a flying car. The Speeder is designed more to be a toy rather than have practical applications, although it could be used by the police or to deliver sensitive cargoes.
