The h1x can be put in the garage.
Doroni Aerospace, a Miami-based UAM (Urban Air Mobility) startup, recently held a virtual launch event to show the public its new flagship EVTOL aircraft, the H1-X, which is ready for launch.
In 2016, Doron Merdinger founded Doroni Aerospace to develop the EVTOL aircraft, and now the team's research and development product, the HX-1, has finally appeared in the public eye, and it looks cool.
The design is as safe and quiet as possible.
*At the event, Doroni Aerospace introduced many details about the H1-X. For example, the H1-X, which has only two seats, is a private aircraft, and it is not an "air taxi", but is mainly used for private use. The aircraft adopts a tandem wing configuration with built-in propellers, which is safer and less likely to hurt people.
Doroni Aerospace believes that the H1-X has more lift and is more efficient than conventional designs. The H1-X has 8 motors, and even when all of them are running, they are quieter than conventional designs.

"The H1-X is more than just a means of transport, it represents a big step towards a future where we will achieve freedom of movement and sustainable coexistence," Doroni Aerospace said at the launch. Our commitment to innovation, safety and environmental protection is embedded in every detail of H1-X, which opens a new chapter in transportation. ”
The H1-X weighs 1,850 pounds (about 840 kilograms) and has a load of 500 pounds (about 227 kilograms), a range of up to 60 miles (about 97 kilometers), a range of 40 minutes, a full charge in 20 minutes, and a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour. The H1-X can be easily replaceable and is compatible with grid vehicle chargers. In addition to this, the H1-X is equipped with a semi-automatic flight system and a self-stabilized flight system, equipped with a ballistic parachute and advanced collision avoidance sensors.
H1-X is equivalent to the upgraded version of the previous H1, with adjustments in all aspects. Doron Merdinger, CEO of Doroni Aerospace, said: "We have redesigned the entire frame and improved the aerodynamics. The new design maximizes speed, range, and we can also fit the H1-X into a two-car garage. ”

In Doroni Aerospace's view, the H1-X can replace cars and trains for commuting. "By developing urban air mobility, our goal is to keep the U.S. from adding more highways," said Doron Merdinger. ”
Doroni Aerospace has raised $6 million through crowdfunding and expects to continue looking for investors in the future. "Right now we're only flying inside the facility, but soon we'll be able to do test flights elsewhere in Florida," said Doron Merdinger. ”
Doroni Aerospace representatives revealed that the company is building several prototypes of the H1-X, which are expected to be used for in-depth testing by the end of the year. The H1-X we're seeing so far is actually ready for launch, but the final product may be slightly adjusted before mass production.
If R&D, production and FAA certification all go well, the first H1-X will be delivered to customers by the end of 2025. According to the plan, the H1-X will be mass-produced in 2026, and the price is expected to be between $300,000 and $400,000. Author: Xinghai.
