MOC - Personal Drone

[Sarles]

This is an update to the 60145 - Buggy set. I was looking to get more of a personal drone design, similar to the Jetson One.

I'm not sure about the landing gear at the moment.

I swapped out the props for a smaller diameter one to look a bit more realistic. What do you think?

Looks quite nice. I just wonder where and if we will see these personal drones / Urban air mobility, or whatever fancy name they come up with, in real life. There are just protypes now. And then see if LEGO also makes them appear in the CITY theme.

The Jetson One that this is loosely based on is actually in production right now with sold-out pre-orders for the next few years. They are pretty much rich men's toys because of the six-figure price tag, but they are still pretty cool. I imagine more will come on line, much like boat and jet ski manufacturers.
