Doroni H1 is an electric "flying car" that can fly for up to 60 miles and you can pre-order it now

Doroni has begun taking pre-orders for its "personal" flying machines, which are made in Miami. The company recently demonstrated the cockpit of its H1 plane at EAA AirVenture in Wisconsin, with VR headsets used to simulate takeoff, flight, and landing.

Doroni plan to "democratize" general aviation with a "semi-autonomous" aircraft designed for safety. CEO Doron Merdinger said anyone with a standard car driver's license and 20-hour training course should be able to fly the H1.

The two-seat flight vehicle has twin sets of wings with large ducted fans, a 500-pound (227 kg) capacity, and wheels-unusual given that most eVTOLs land on pads. The H1 is supposed to be driven into a regular garage and recharged overnight.

Merdinger stated that the H1 is anticipated to have a range of 60 miles (96 km) and a top speed of 140 mph (220 km/h). Additionally, the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in only 20 minutes. For safety reasons, there will also be a parachute included.

According to Doroni, the H1 will be certified as a Light Sport Aircraft with the FAA so it can fit into an existing category, unlike other new eVTOL aircraft that will have to go through certification processes in new categories.

Doroni is constructing its first two prototypes at a new facility in Miami, with the intention of finishing the first full-scale flight model within the next few months. The company said that deliveries of the aircraft will begin in the fourth quarter of 2024.

According to its website, it plans on taking 36 pre-orders and 19 build slots are left. The H1's starting price is $150,000.
