Santa Margarita, California — September, 2025 – Jetson, the pioneering personal aviation company, has announced its first-ever global delivery, with the Jetson ONE handed over in the United States to entrepreneur and defence-tech innovator Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus and Anduril Industries.
The Jetson ONE unit was delivered to a facility in Carlsbad, California, where Jetson Founder and CTO Tomasz Patan and CEO Stephan D’haene were on hand to oversee the unboxing and pre-flight checks. Luckey, an experienced aviator, completed ground training in under 50 minutes before taking the controls for his first low-altitude flights.
“This delivery is more than a milestone—it’s a statement,” said Stephan D’haene. “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.”
Patan added: “I still remember the early days when Palmer reached out to us and said he wanted to become a Jetson ONE owner. Originally scheduled for early 2023, the delivery took longer than expected, but Palmer valued our transparency. He often told us, ‘Take your time and do it right.’”
The handover was marked with the presentation of Jetson ‘pilot-wings,’ a distinctive endorsement for Jetson ONE pilots.
The Founders Edition of the Jetson ONE is limited to just 100 units worldwide and features premium design elements such as two-tone white and carbon finish, exclusive front fairing detailing, a numbered plaque, and branded indoor cover. It is equipped with LED lighting, leather upholstery, snap-lock removable batteries with gauges, and an expanded instrument cluster. Ownership is further enhanced with accessories including a carbon dolly, battery chargers, trolleys, and a dedicated transport kit.
Jetson began in Poland, where Patan developed the first prototype in 2017, before relocating to Italy in 2022 for production. With over 515 customers, the company is now expanding its presence in the United States, setting up headquarters and pilot training operations in California.
The Jetson ONE is an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for recreational use, offering a combination of safety, simplicity, and advanced technology. With additional deliveries planned across the U.S. and Europe, Jetson is moving towards a future where flying could become as accessible as driving.
