And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Jetson One: A personal flying vehicle just for having fun - I want one.
20 minutes flight-time? I wonder what the weight of the tesla cells is, and if swapping out for a two-stroke and tank would work. Now 'that' I'd seriously buy! (Now what armaments to fit - questions, questions)
Match that up with a nuclear isotope electrical generator and then maybe you've got something.
ReplyDelete92,000. Nope. Would be fun but at that price I would rent it.

ReplyDeleteI would want rugged fans, for both greater thrust, and increased safety, so no one walks into the props.
ReplyDeleteStupid autocorrect. Ducted, not rugged!
ReplyDeleteThose small fans need to accelerate the small mass of air to a high speed to get enough thrust, which is very costly in energy usage.
ReplyDelete$92K? Yeah, no.
ReplyDeleteJetson trivia: George was 40 in 2062, meaning he was born this year.

ReplyDeleteGeorge Jetson was 40 in 2062, do the math. . .
ReplyDeleteKind of a bitch when you fly out over the canyon at 19 minutes, just as the "Battery Low" buzzer goes off.
ReplyDeleteI'd also hate to see a single engine failure pretty much anywhere but parked.
And let's remember what happened to those jetbike riders in the referenced flick.
