The company Jetson Aero conducted actual rescue tests in mountainous areas together with the Polish GOPR(Górskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe) team, establishing a test for its eVTOL Jetson ONE aircraft in real emergency locations.

This chosen stage was Mount Lubań in Poland, with an altitude of 1,211 meters above sea level. Amid gusty winds of up to 16 m/s, the Jetson ONE reached the summit in less than 4 minutes.
The performance confirms its viability as a first response vehicle in emergency situations in difficult terrain. Operational stability under adverse weather conditions was one of the most important points for rescuers.
During the maneuvers, Jetson pilots simulated multiple relief missions, demonstrating the utility of eVTOL for delivering supplies, conducting quick inspections and assessing inaccessible areas prior to the arrival of a full team.
Such real-world experience consolidates the Jetson ONE’s role as an efficient tool for assistance missions in remote locations. In addition, its potential use could improve the way relief operations are executed, especially in mountainous regions where reaction time is critical.
Jetson Aero has announced that it is evaluating new adaptations specifically for rescue missions. These could include improvements in autonomy, emergency communication systems and light payload capabilities.
