According to the British "Mirror" reported on February 7, the world's first single-person flying car "Jason One" was launched in October last year, priced at 68,000 pounds (about 585,000 yuan), the speed can reach 101 kilometers per hour, it has an all-electric engine, controlled by the joystick, and the driver does not need a pilot's license. According to developer Peter Ternstrom, an order is currently received every 15 minutes on average.
Peter and Tomasz Patan began making flying car frames in 2017, and later they also developed sensors, backup motors and speed limiters to ensure flight safety. Jason One weighs 86 kilograms, recharges its batteries for about 2 hours, can fly for 20 minutes, does not require a runway for takeoff and landing, and its construction ensures a safe landing.
Peter said: "The first time I drove it, it felt great. It doesn't vibrate and doesn't look like a helicopter or an airplane at all. But at present, "Jason One" can not fly in the city, can only fly on open land. ”
Peter's next plan is to build a two-seater flying car by 2026 and hopes that by 2050, 50% of wheeled vehicles will fly in the air. At that point the city will become greener and the demand for parking spaces and roads will be reduced. Peter said: "We want to make cities more livable, and public transport needs to change. This is just the beginning, by the end of the century we want a four-seat flying car on the market that will replace the average family car. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
