Doroni Aerospace is one step closer to producing an electric flying car with vertical takeoff and landing. The vehicle is called H1, and it recently made its first manned flight.
Despite the fact that Doroni Aerospace H1 is positioned as a car, it is not intended for road use. Although the aircraft looks a bit like a sports car.
The Doroni Aerospace H1 is equipped with eight engines that drive the blades. The flying machine has taken to the air more than 50 times during testing, but the recent test was the first time a pilot was in the cabin.
Doron Merdinger, the founder and CEO of Doroni Aerospace, became the new CEO. The tests took place in a hangar. The H1 climbed to a low altitude, performed several maneuvers, and successfully made a soft landing.
The flying electric car can reach speeds of up to 225 km/h and has a range of 100 km. The H1 is a light sport aircraft according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s classification, meaning that it does not require a pilot’s license to operate. But to fly, you need to take a 15-hour course.
Doroni Aerospace plans to be certified by the end of 2024 and begin deliveries of the flying electric vehicle next year. The price of the H1 will be $195,000.
