Doroni’s H1X should help you beat traffic with a 120 mph top speed.
This Electric Flying Car Could Take You to Work Next Year—and Then Fit in Your Garage’s two-seat H1X is currently a full working prototype, with the Miami-based start-up saying it will move into flight testing this year. The first units could reach clients by 2025, if R&D, production, and FAA certification matches Doroni’s schedule., which is still being tested but increasingly on the back burner as the new model moves closer to completion.
But that’s largely where the similarities end. “We redesigned the entire airframe for improved aerodynamics,” CEO Doron Merdinger tells. “We felt we had to come up with a design that maximized speed and range, while also fitting in a two-car garage.”The H1X is aiming for FAA certification as an ultralight aircraft, so it will be able to fly in urban areas.
The H1X will be controlled by joystick and semi-autonomous for easier flying. It will require some sort of license, says Merdinger, though not a conventional pilot’s license. “Some of new electric aircraft require 20 hours of flight, but we believe this vehicle won’t even need that since it’s pretty simple to control,” he says.The H1X is designed with anti-collision sensors, barometer, LIDAR, and optic-flow cameras for situational position and safety.
The name “flying car” is a misnomer, since its landing gear and wheels will be used to go to and from the garage, rather than driving on a street or highway like most of its. “The idea is to fly from place to place but, not be stationary like a helicopter when you’ve landed,” says Merdinger.Plans are to sell six units in 2025, eventually increasing production to seven units per day. It will be priced between $300,000 and $400,000. Doroni has 450 pre-orders, according to Merdinger.
The company has raised $6 million in crowdsource funding, a seemingly small amount to build a working flying car and production facility. More financing is expected as the vehicle advances. “Right now, we can fly it inside the facility, but soon we’ll be doing flight tests in another part of Florida,” he says. After that, it could possibly be seen buzzing the skies of Miami.This Bonkers Jet Has an Engine With No Moving Parts. It Just Completed Its First Flight.
