AAM (Urban Air Traffic) has proved to be one of the hot research fields of many emerging companies, so there are also various eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) manufacturers. If Jetson One in Sweden can be said to be the most popular personal electric plane at present, there are several other electric planes moving towards this goal.

Although people are still controversial about flying cars at present, when it comes to personal eVTOL, public opinion seems to be less harsh. These eVTOL manufacturers do not claim to produce flying cars in the future, but promote them as private versions of electric planes. If you can have a small plane that can take off and land at any time, it will certainly make your commute more convenient. The flagship model Air One launched by Israel's eVTOL manufacturer Air is a product that hopes to bring pressure to Jetson One.

This year has been a fruitful year for Air. It brought its full-scale prototype of eVTOL to several events and exhibitions in the United States, including the Detroit Auto Show. Not long ago, Air One confirmed its ability to put into use by completing a complete forward flight for the first time. The test was carried out at full load and the weight reached 2425 pounds (1100 kilograms).

In the event held on December 18th, Air One successfully accelerated from hovering to the normal cruising speed of 100 mph (161 km/h). This speed also makes it considered as an important milestone in obtaining complete FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) certification.

This two-seat aircraft is preparing for its launch in the US market, which is why the manufacturer plans to transfer most of its business and research and development to the US. As it continues to cooperate with the FAA, it will become easier and more convenient to conduct future flight tests here. Air One has a range of 110 miles (177 kilometers) and a top speed of 155 miles per hour (250 kilometers per hour). Its main attraction is that it is a private jet, which can be parked in an ordinary garage or even towed by a trailer.

Air believes that by 2024, privately owned eVTOL will be allowed to fly officially. Considering that both Air One and Jetson One can already be booked, this idea seems to be quite feasible. It is understood that the attractive price of this two-seat eVTOL brought by the Israeli company is 150,000 US dollars (about 1,045,600 yuan), which also makes its first batch of 260 initial versions have been snapped up.
