“I’m proud to be a part of the Jetson family and support the company’s mission to democratize flight, opening the skies to all. Personal aircraft ideal for short point-to-point flights will soon be a reality”, said will.i.am, tech entrepreneur and consultant to automotive companies. will.i.am has designed and manufactured custom cars with futuristic features working with Mercedes-Benz, DeLorean and more.

‘Our mission at Jetson is to democratize flight and make the skies available to everyone. The $15M seed round clearly demonstrates that investors do understand our unique value proposition. We approach urban air mobility by developing and bringing to market eVTOL aircraft within existing legislative frameworks. This may be the biggest opportunity in aviation since the Wright brothers took flight. Today, there is an existing market that is a profitable business for a single seat recreational aircraft. We are planning to start initial shipments next year and will evaluate future funding opportunities to accelerate our growth.”, said Stephan D'haene, Jetson CEO.

The demand for the Jetson ONE has been phenomenal, supporting the company's vision to ‘make everyone a pilot’. The company has currently sold over 300 units, with a down payment of $8,000 to reserve your Jetson ONE. As of today, Jetson holds more than 48,000,000 views on its YouTube channel and many more across the web.

Jetson is currently operating a beautiful R&D and production facility in Arezzo, Tuscany. The Jetson HQ’s private airfield south of Florence combines an industrial facility and an 800-meter airstrip perfect for daily flight testing. The airfield is also the home to a customer experience center, and future pilot school.

Jetson is looking to expand its operation in the US market and is evaluating several locations for its future US headquarter.

“Jetson is on a mission to redefine the future of air mobility and transportation. We are enabling new and exciting ways of travel which will solve many problems, ultimately making our cities a much better place to live. I think the US market is a great opportunity for Jetson", said Tomasz Patan, co-founder and CTO who will be making the first US flights in October.
