The first models of the Doroni H1-X could start being delivered to customers in 2025, provided development continues by the company as planned
Doroni Aerospace’s new EVTOL
Doroni Aerospace, located in Miami, Florida, is scheduled to flight test its flagship H1-X model later this year. The company is confident of meeting the requirements for U.S. Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) certification by 2025.
The H1-X represents the evolution of its predecessor, the H1 flying car, both designed for vertical take-off and landing ( eVTOL ) and with all-electric operation. In addition, it integrates four lifting and propulsion fans, each powered by pairs of counter-rotating coaxial motors.
“To optimize the aerodynamics, we completely redesigned the fuselage,” says Doron Merdinger, CEO of Doroni Aerospace . This design effort not only seeks to maximize the H1-X’s speed and range but also to ensure its compatibility with conventional parking spaces, such as a traditional two-car garage.
FAA Certification
The focus of the H1-X is to obtain FAA certification as an ultralight aircraft, which would allow it to operate in urban environments. Although certification of eVTOLs is still under development, Doroni Aerospace is actively collaborating with the FAA to define certification standards, paving the way for a new era in personal and collective transportation.
The H1-X design incorporates semi-autonomous functionalities and an intuitive joystick control system, which greatly facilitates flight operation. Although it will require a specific license, a traditional pilot’s license will not be necessary, demonstrating the accessibility and ease of use, intended for the average user.
Lightweight design and equipment for the Doroni H1-X
The eVTOL is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including anti-collision sensors, barometer, LIDAR, and optical flow cameras, the H1-X ensures a safe and environmentally aware flight experience. In addition, it has redundant fan systems and a ballistic parachute to maximize safety in all phases of flight.
Although, the H1-X is not technically a “flying car” in the conventional sense, its ability to travel from point A to point B, and its optimized design for takeoff and landing, highlight it as an innovative aerial personal transportation solution.
With plans to market six units by 2025 and production to increase significantly. Doroni Aerospace continues to invest in development and production, while making history in urban air mobility.
