Jetson ONE Personal Electric Aircraft Wows Crowds at NASA’s MAX POWER Expo
The future of personal flight was on vivid display at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, as the Jetson ONE—a single-person electric aircraft developed by Swedish startup Jetson—performed live flight demonstrations at NASA’s inaugural MAX POWER aerospace expo and air show, held November 7–8, 2026.
With its multiple-propeller design, the Jetson ONE can take off vertically without a runway. At the UP.Summit gathering, part of the larger MAX POWER festival, it wowed crowds by maneuvering through the air and hovering in place, giving spectators an up-close look at the technology.
Held in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the event also featured the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Apollo and Artemis astronauts, NASA’s experimental X-59 aircraft, and Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
An iconic photograph captured the Jetson ONE hovering beside the towering upper stage of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket—a striking juxtaposition of personal-scale electric flight and next-generation orbital launch hardware. The image was selected as Space.com’s Space Photo of the Day for November 9, 2026.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman described MAX POWER as “America’s newest and most exciting aerospace technology expo and airshow.” The event showcased how personal electric aviation is moving from concept toward reality, signaling an exciting new era for general aviation enthusiasts worldwide.
