Comment: There may be another hook in there but I did not want to cross a line regarding promotional. Also the image is a screen-grab from a YouTube video that was licensed for Creative commons- the image is not essential for understanding the hook.
Overall: On hold for the above issues.The hook isn't a showstopper but wanted to see what @Lightburst: thought. Since its classed as an ultralight, not requiring a pilots license is something that's shared with all other ultralights in the US. The most unique aspect is ultimately the dronelike electric vtol aspects. For the sake of interest, you could lean into the description as a flying car since I don't know if eVTOL is a phrase most people will be aware of. You could highlight the parachute system which remains pretty unique in the aircraft world, mostly coming from aircraft using the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System which is relatively small. Happy with everything. Original hook or one of the three ALT's below all look good. Will leave the selection of the hook to the queuer Seddontalk 23:28, 17 December 2023 (UTC) Seddontalk20:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Seddon: I see - I was studying the reason for the commons deletion since I obtained the image from a creative commons licensed video. I see now that you located a video source which was apparently copied in order to create the video. Regarding the hook, since this is a design which differs from a conventional ultralight I thought it was interesting. I will explore another hook,
ALT2: ... that the Jetson One aircraft has eight drone-like engines, can reach an altitude of 1,500 ft (460 m), and it can travel 63 mph (101 km/h)?
ALT3: ... that the Jetson One aircraft is an eVTOL that is equipped with a rapid-deploying ballistic parachute?
ALT4: ... that Forbes magazine said of the Jetson One aircraft, "Flying Cars Are Here"?
@Lightburst: I think I have a preference for ALT 3 or ALT4 but the original or ALT2 2 would suffice. Will leave that decision to the queuer. All looks good! Thanks! Almost jealous I didn't get to write this myself. Seddontalk23:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
