The skies over California witnessed a watershed moment for personal aviation: Jetson completed the inaugural delivery of its Jetson ONE electric aircraft to Palmer Luckey, tech entrepreneur and founder of Oculus and Anduril Industries. This international debut marks the beginning of the company’s global rollout.

The first unit in the United States was received in Carlsbad, California. During the process, Tomasz Patan, Jetson’s founder and chief technology officer, and Stephan D’haene, chief executive officer, personally oversaw the unpacking and pre-flight safety testing.
