With new battery tech being developed is it really still just completely out of the realm of possibility to create an electric passenger drone, especially when some electric vehicles have ranges of 500+ miles? I have been very intrigued by Jetson creating their single person drone, but i’m just so curious when we will see a passenger drone, and even better, one that has more than 20 minutes of flight time. Is the current battery tech just still too heavy?
Also, are there any options to make them more practical, Hydrogen fuel for example?

Its defined and engineering challenge. However there are drones that can carry 50 kg for like 2 hours. Building an electric helicopter is within the realm of possibility.
There are issues though.
Safety and legal issues. Who can pilot it? Would you need to be a pilot? You’d probably need some kind of license to fly that thing like with regular drones. You are going to be flying about 100 kg. If you something goes wrong you can die, you can hit someone and they might die.
