Battery life, battery life, battery life. The bane of all things electric. This vehicle is the next greatest thing, and will always be until duration is solved. Beautiful craft....
Yeah for me I think our current battery technology (Lithium) just isn't up to snuff for me and until we come up with a lot better battery tech I wont be buying an EV vehicle and will just stick with hybrid tech for now ..... Oh and by the way I love my 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE AWD it's just a fantastic car.
Battery life is not an issue for vtol aircraft people make the automobile comparison all the time as its their only reference, but they all forget that vehicles coupe with not only a variable high degree of drag, but also drag from other vehicles, and the most major factor the contact with tires on the road. so their is in fact a heck of a lot more 'range' that comes from current batteries in an aeronautic format. But it also depends heavily on the aircrafts propulsion and efficiency. ANd needless to say batteries are always improving. new milestones in battery tech is already getting certification, batteries with near double the capacity , safer (solid state) and lighter.
This is a beautiful design. I’ve seen other flying car concepts, but they don’t look like this. This design is novel, And I really like the protected propellers that are within a blended wing. It’s a great safety feature !
@@stardude2006 I did listen to the presentation, or do you just like jumping to baseless conclusions? It uses a ballistic parachute, which will easily drop you on top of a building, a busy street, or any number of undesirable locations, with no means of control. These things should not be in the skies above built-up areas.
Awesome..Im a vision jet owner pilot so I truly love and understand safety. Im so impressed. Even a parachute. Bravo..!!! Im super encouraged by your innovation. Please keep it coming. Can’t wait to see it. You represent the future that we so need.
The planned specifications and performance shown at 3:55 are interesting. First, they're in pounds and miles per hour, so this is a presentation for the general public in the USA... not for anyone anywhere else, or for any technical audience anywhere. They don't explicitly claim that it will be able to fly at 120 MPH while carrying a payload of 500 pounds for 40 minutes, but that's what many people will assume. Much more likely, if it is ever built and if it achieves the planned performance, it might be able to · fly at 120 MPH... but not for as long as 40 minutes, and only while carrying zero payload (autonomously or remotely piloted) · carry a payload of 500 pounds... but not for as long as 40 minutes, and not as fast as 120 MPH · fly for 40 minutes... but more slowly than 120 MPH, and only while carrying zero payload. Welcome to the reality of aircraft performance, and of battery-electric propulsion. If you look at the Doroni website, you'll see that it claims a 60-mile range... perhaps with payload? Maybe they just didn't edit that number from the claims for the earlier H1 design? Even on the website, there are no real specifications: battery type and capacity, motor power, rotor areas, wing area...
Battery tech getting way better 2X and cheeper 1/2 coming soon to some EVs - youtube videos on the topic now by major battery manufactures ramping up production NOW.
I am not interested in flying cars, but as a pilot I can see this is a very cool design. You are not the first to combine traditional aeronautical dynamics with electric propulsion, but this looks like a compelling proposition. It is a long, long way from prototyping to production, and I wish you all the best. 👍👍
Congats guys! Great job by all means! Thank you for thinking of the future of an easy travelling! Really looking forward to seeing this vehicle in the air soon!
@@Ziptietechnician When I say flying over populated areas I mean under the FAA regulated 1000ft above the ground over congested populated areas. That means you cannot land this thing in a neighborhood, your home, in a field close to your home, on your roof, or on a street. You also cannot fly this into certain types of controlled airspace near airports and military areas with high volumes of traffic from civil, commercial, or military aircraft.
I was analyzing the Jetson One and was wondering, even though the design is beautiful, that flight is very taxing on power without lift. So this design hits it out of the park by having lift. Lift gives a longer range and also a faster speed. But I also think battery power is not there yet. I think we can benefit from two small, lightweight 80-100 hp engines. I do like the way this is going.
Really nice... The fact they have a deployable chute is great... However the 40 minute flight time is not desirable.. Limits when using batteries... Now if it was 1.5 to 2 hours.. SOLD!!!
This might actually be the first practically flying car I’ve seen. If it is as easy to use as they make it out to be then I could definitely see it being mass adopted.
@@brianb-p6586 Technically yes. But it’s size and dimensions make it about as close to a car as an aircraft has come imo. The ease of use especially, if true, would be incredible. I imagine you wouldn’t need an FAA license for this thing or if you did it would be incredibly easy to get. A few hours learning and you could fly it. Until someone invents anti-gravity technology this technology is as close to “flying cars” or “air-cars” as we are likely to get.
@rainbowsixODST in other words, not a car at all, just a potentially convenient small aircraft. Just like any helicopter with automation... and you may have noticed that they're not in every backyard.
This aerial craft has been beautifully and thoughtfully designed. It only remains to be seen whether you need a pilots licence to fly it, where and when you will be allowed to fly it, and how much it will cost you to buy it. Good luck with the venture!
Thank you for your support! We're thrilled to see the growing interest in the H1-X. Stay tuned for exciting updates as we continue to develop the H1-X, please visit our website at doroni.io/
In aviation, redundancy in critical systems is extremely important. Systems like propulsion and flight control are always designed/managed with high degrees of backup and failure tolerance. And in this kind of implementation, system redundancy is actually managed backwards, considering failure in ANY of the 4 powered lift components equals a crash.
"So simple a 4yr old could operate it" That's very encouraging !! Considering most of the um, 'terrestrial pilots' I encounter already drive like a 4 year old my future commute promises to be Much More engaging 😁 I'll take one !!
Good presentation of not yet ready device for air transportation ;)). Anyway, looks nice. I just have a doubt about its width awareness of hard-time for pioneers in terms of regulation.
So I think you’re missing the point here, because that’s exactly what they don’t want to do, is to add additional complexity and weight to this aircraft in addition to the harmful impact on the environment. and so what we want is clean and safe transportation, with little to no impact to the environment, and that’s the goals here. Comphrende. Cheers 🥂
Like any other aircraft. Depends in the wind. Cruising speed is 120 mph and it is VSTOL, so similar to a helicopter with the same cruising speed. Another way, is look around if the birds aren’t flying do what they do.

The H1-X includes multiple safety features that includes a whole airframe ballistic parachute that ensure a safe descent to the ground for the whole vehicle. For more information, please visit our website at doroni.io/
Took me like an hour of looking at random youtube videos to find one that had enclosed rotors. I want to build one myself and was looking for ideas so I don't kill someone lol. This is a bit above my ability but damn is it cool.
Safety is paramount at Doroni. The H1-X is designed with advanced autonomous features and will adhere to strict regulations developed specifically for eVTOLs. Imagine a future air traffic control system designed for these new vehicles, ensuring safe and controlled flight paths.
The targeted price point for the H1-X is approximately $350,000. The pre-order deposit amount is $1,000. By 2026, we anticipate extending the range and flight time for the Doroni H1-X as battery and electric motor technology evolves.

Its a cool vehicle and no doubt will be useful for some upper income individuals. Its the best designed drone vehicle I have seen to date and no doubt, as AI and robotics are more fully implemented, vehicles like this one will only get better. However, I don't see the market for this vehicle growing very large in the next few decades. Its going to be a very few specific "use cases" where these kinds of vehicles might make sense because the physical and legal infrastructure is just not there to support them. Further, as safe as this one has been designed, a sky full of these would wreck havoc on a community as, no doubt, there would be many collisions of such vehicles until self driving/autopilot AI systems can be developed to help them function property. And imagine the noise pollution generated by a constant stream of these things flying along the freeway alignments. It is cool though and I wish the founders much success!
Did you even watch the video? It can glide on wings. So, if you have a place to land, do so. 2- It also carries a ballistic parachute. In case of emergency hit a button, the rocket pulls out the parachute and you float to landing. Just like Cirrus aircraft. They work well. They estimate peice being about $135,000. Cheap enough to be affordable. It can work your commute is less than 80 miles each way.
The H1-X is capable of safely landing should any of its propellers malfunction or lose power. It is designed with multiple redundancy batteries to ensure power is maintained during an emergency. The H1-X also has ducted propellers for increased safety, airframe parachutes, and various sensors for altitude and position maintenance.

At 2:24 thank you for addressing this. An ultralight VTOL intended for only 15 minutes of very local flight can use powered lift the whole time and can fit in the bed of a pickup truck. But for a trip of 20 miles or more, powered lift is very inefficient. Helicopters have large disc areas and can produce lift more efficiently. But a VTOL aircraft with wings is the best of all in cruise.
I love the idea of these kinds of vehicles, getting rid of roads and escaping ground traffic by flying through the air. Until everyone has one and you're fighting traffic in the air in a craft with a 40 minute flight time. Oh and no place convenient to land. These will make neat toys for rich kids to play with, but until we have a proper Highway In The Sky infrastructure and endurance goes _way_ up, that is all they will be.
BTW, I can see a military application as well wherein that 500lb payload capacity opens up many such possibilities vs say a Jetson one with both limited range and payload. Thus if one allocates 250lbs for the human that leaves 250lbs to carry other stuff such as missiles and sensors or an unmanned version to carry 500lbs worth or extra batteries for extended range.
And one advantage of going the military's route is one might as such be able to sidestep some of the regulatory hurdles where say one sells these to Ukraine or Taiwan where they might waive some of those that one could never do in regard to the commercial route. This in turn could give much more flight actual flight data that then could perhaps shorten the time to get this to the commercial market as well... not to mention could possibly contribute to the defense of those countries as well of opening up additional military markets too!
BTW, one crazy option might be to use a gyrocopter wing verses the fixed wings. Thus one could have more lift and also use the lift rotors (and thus maybe one can get a bit more range) as well as avoiding risks that currently face gyrocopter operation such as push over in that the lift rotors could then recover form that, plus the parachute can be employed as well. Maybe this is a really dumb idea but maybe it is at least mentioning here just in case it might not be quite so dumb of one and might have some application somewhere.
The three-wing configuration is interesting. None of the wings are efficient (because of the low aspect ratio), but there are lots of them and one without ducted fans attached is between the fans to minimize airflow interference.
How would it react if it loses one engine? What's its flight distance? Could it be designed with a diesel over electric power to increase distance? It would be great to have something as easy to use like this but could compare to the flight time of an ultralight or Cessna.
When I see all these vehicles these days I'm at a loss how NONE OF THEM give MOLAR His due mention as He is the man who made all these ideas possible..They all stand on HIS shoulders..
Battery life, battery life, battery life. The bane of all things electric. This vehicle is the next greatest thing, and will always be until duration is solved. Beautiful craft....

You only need about an hour's worth of battery life. This is a vehicle for local travel / commuting, not long distance travel. We have that now.
Also, a little combustion engine with a generator can provide the power for steady fight. Turning these hybrid is always an option.

And could probably fly for more than half an hour I reckon.

@@Mooooty Using the landing gear as wings, Hidden propeller system and the sleek F1 inspired frame make it an excellent design
Thank you for your support! We're thrilled to see the growing interest in the H1-X. Stay tuned for exciting updates as we continue to develop the H1-X, please visit our website at doroni.io/
I think you should say "The world without ground traffic ...". Traffic Will certainly move above ground.
what are you doing in steve jobs teater?
At 2:24 thank you for addressing this. An ultralight VTOL intended for only 15 minutes of very local flight can use powered lift the whole time and can fit in the bed of a pickup truck. But for a trip of 20 miles or more, powered lift is very inefficient. Helicopters have large disc areas and can produce lift more efficiently. But a VTOL aircraft with wings is the best of all in cruise.
looks cool, would like to see it realized
I love the idea of these kinds of vehicles, getting rid of roads and escaping ground traffic by flying through the air. Until everyone has one and you're fighting traffic in the air in a craft with a 40 minute flight time. Oh and no place convenient to land. These will make neat toys for rich kids to play with, but until we have a proper Highway In The Sky infrastructure and endurance goes _way_ up, that is all they will be.
Cool!
That seems to be totally the right way to go!
BTW, I can see a military application as well wherein that 500lb payload capacity opens up many such possibilities vs say a Jetson one with both limited range and payload.
Thus if one allocates 250lbs for the human that leaves 250lbs to carry other stuff such as missiles and sensors or an unmanned version to carry 500lbs worth or extra batteries for extended range.
And one advantage of going the military's route is one might as such be able to sidestep some of the regulatory hurdles where say one sells these to Ukraine or Taiwan where they might waive some of those that one could never do in regard to the commercial route.
This in turn could give much more flight actual flight data that then could perhaps shorten the time to get this to the commercial market as well... not to mention could possibly contribute to the defense of those countries as well of opening up additional military markets too!
BTW, one crazy option might be to use a gyrocopter wing verses the fixed wings.
Thus one could have more lift and also use the lift rotors (and thus maybe one can get a bit more range) as well as avoiding risks that currently face gyrocopter operation such as push over in that the lift rotors could then recover form that, plus the parachute can be employed as well.
Maybe this is a really dumb idea but maybe it is at least mentioning here just in case it might not be quite so dumb of one and might have some application somewhere.
The three-wing configuration is interesting. None of the wings are efficient (because of the low aspect ratio), but there are lots of them and one without ducted fans attached is between the fans to minimize airflow interference.
The Red Barron did pretty well with 3 wings. ;-)
What expectations are there for performance in the rain?
The marketing guy is talking like a tech executive!
There seems to be a boom in the CGI startups lately. I wanna see an actual physical prototype that can fly.
Check their page
Can we see a video of it *actually in the air*?
Fly time not so long and longevity trip is highly important
I love you people. Way to go! 👏
How would it react if it loses one engine? What's its flight distance? Could it be designed with a diesel over electric power to increase distance? It would be great to have something as easy to use like this but could compare to the flight time of an ultralight or Cessna.
I would recommend using a type of hybrid engine like the ones hybrid drones use to get 6 hours of flight time.
When I see all these vehicles these days I'm at a loss how NONE OF THEM give MOLAR His due mention as He is the man who made all these ideas possible..They all stand on HIS shoulders..
Moller
Been waiting for some manufacturers to make rc quadcopter/with wings
Its going to need some kind of super battery.
Exactly .... Something better than the current crap Lithium batteries we have today.
Will this be like flying and ultralight?
Amazing , i think it could work but better be quiet my little drone people complain of noise . Keep it up sure love to fly one
Great job, although would prefer much larger wheels to handle ruts and road use.
He's standing on his tippy toes!
How manage the bateries weight? How much was time of flying?.
500 lb payload 40 minutes of flight time at 120 mph
interesting design, will be great to fly for those who can afford it, the
40 minutes of fligh time? Make me a believer...Let's see it fly.
