“Anduril Founder Receives First-Ever Delivery of Jetson ONE Personal Flying Vehicle”

Jet­son, a lead­ing per­son­al avi­a­tion com­pa­ny, has deliv­ered its first-ever deliv­ery of the Jet­son ONE to renowned entre­pre­neur and defence-tech inno­va­tor, Palmer Luck­ey, Founder of Ocu­lus and Anduril Indus­tries, reports a press release. 

The release says, “This his­toric mile­stone marks the begin­ning of Jetson’s glob­al roll­out and a bold leap for­ward in per­son­al avi­a­tion. The Jet­son ONE unit was deliv­ered to a facil­i­ty in Carls­bad, Cal­i­for­nia, where com­pa­ny Founder and CTO, Tomasz Patan and CEO Stephan D’haene, assist­ed in per­son with the unbox­ing and pre-flight checks.” 

Luck­ey, an expe­ri­enced avi­a­tor, had already com­plet­ed the ground train­ing, which took as lit­tle as 50 min­utes pri­or to tak­ing the con­trols for his first low-alti­tude flights. This is a time record, demon­strat­ing a unique under­stand­ing of advanced tech­nolo­gies.

Stephan D’haene, CEO of Jet­son, remarked, “This deliv­ery is more than a mile­stone — it’s a state­ment. Launch­ing our first Jet­son ONE with Palmer Luck­ey, a vision­ary who has reshaped both con­sumer and defence tech­nol­o­gy, sets the tone for what Jet­son rep­re­sents: inno­va­tion, free­dom, and the future of mobil­i­ty.”

The flight train­ing was con­clud­ed with the han­dover of the Jet­son ‘pilot-wings’, an exclu­sive endorse­ment for pilots.

Tomasz Patan, Founder and CTO of Jet­son, com­ment­ed, “Orig­i­nal­ly sched­uled for ear­ly 2023, the deliv­ery took a bit longer than antic­i­pat­ed. We were very trans­par­ent through­out the process and Palmer appre­ci­at­ed the updates.”

The release con­tin­ues, “With addi­tion­al deliv­er­ies planned across the U.S and Europe, Jet­son is accel­er­at­ing toward a future where fly­ing is as acces­si­ble as dri­ving. The com­pa­ny plans to con­tin­ue expand­ing its U.S pres­ence with addi­tion­al deliv­er­ies and train­ing ses­sions sched­uled in the com­ing months.

On offer is the Jet­son ONE Founders Edi­tion, lim­it­ed to just 100 units world­wide and based on the top-of-the-line two-tone white and car­bon con­fig­u­ra­tion. 

The fly­ing craft includes pre­mi­um fea­tures such as front and rear LED light­ing, leather uphol­stery, snap-lock remov­able bat­ter­ies with built-in gauges, and an expand­ed instru­ment clus­ter with a Founders Edi­tion wel­come screen.

This spe­cial edi­tion is fur­ther dis­tin­guished by exclu­sive design ele­ments, includ­ing a red swoosh line on the front fair­ings, a num­bered plaque on the car­bon head­rest and a brand­ed indoor cov­er.

Addi­tion­al acces­sories include a car­bon dol­ly for ground trans­porta­tion, extra bat­tery charg­ers with smart charg­ing log­ic, stur­dy bat­tery box trol­leys, and a trans­port kit with bat­tery rail pro­tec­tors, all tai­lored to enhance the own­er­ship expe­ri­ence.

Found­ed in 2017, the com­pa­ny moved from Poland to Italy in 2022 where pro­duc­tion has begun. Jet­son has attract­ed over 515 cus­tomers with the first units being deliv­ered this year. Cur­rent­ly the com­pa­ny is set­ting up its new HQ and expand­ing oper­a­tions, includ­ing pilot train­ing in Cal­i­for­nia, USA.
