Company
JetPack Aviation
Flying motorcycles
We build the smallest, fastest heavy lift optionally piloted VTOL aircraft. Our product replaces rotor systems with safety-minded design that works in cities. It can carry cargo or passengers within and between urban areas, for example flying from downtown LA to San Diego in 20 minutes.
We live and work in Los Angeles. Post-YC, the company will remain based in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is where our team is, where we have test sites, and where there is real demand for fast urban air transport. Staying here keeps us close to our market and manufacturing.
