This comment makes me wonder if something like this could be supplemented with human power to extend its flight range.

- mkl 5y agoNot enough to be useful, I think. The Jetson One has a maximum power output of 88kW, and a very fit human (e.g. elite sprint cyclist) can briefly reach up to 2.5kW (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8282832/#:~:text=Maximum%20power%20values%20as%20high,track%20sprint%20cyclists%20%5B39%5D https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8282832/#:~:tex....).
- nradov 5y agoElite cyclists can only hit 2.5kW for a few seconds. Sustained output for about 20 minutes will only be in the 0.4kW range, and regular people can't even do half of that.
