Doroni Flying Car gets FAA certified
2nd eVTOL to pass the test and Pre-Orders are live!
It’s always great to hear that the FAA is continuing on it’s promise to make sure that one day, flying cars in our skies (and hopefully much easier commutes) become safely regulated AND a reality for the everyday person. (I’m not going to get into the noise and safety part of this, we can do a post later about it)
Doroni is the next to receive the Certificate of Airworthiness.
The first one, certified in June of this year, was Alef. They have been getting tons of press and selling tons of Pre-orders, but have yet to show us any solid proof that they do indeed have a vehicle that can fly. I’m waiting and hoping they are the real deal.
Doroni on the other hand:
We originally posted about Doroni’s H1 back in October when it was making some waves in the eVTOL space - and now it’s happening again: https://carscanfly.substack.com/p/doroni-aerospace-h1
One thing that kinda sucks - obtaining certification to fly this vehicle will be a requirement, which entails a minimum of 20 hours of experience, with 15 of those hours spent inside the aircraft and an additional 5 hours flying solo. I’m all for training - especially when your life is on the line, but wouldn’t you like to just jump in and fly off into the horizon after you purchased one of these things?
Doroni has some really ambitious production goals, with plans to manufacture approximately 120 to 125 units by 2025 or 2026. Ultimately, this Miami-based startup envisions scaling up to produce 2,500 eVTOLs annually.
and I don’t think I had mentioned this in my last post, but Pre-Orders are live, folks! https://www.doroni.io/preorder
Now that there are a handful of these companies out there, we are bound to see more of these certifications in the very near future. For further information about the electric flying car, you can visit Doroni's website: https://www.doroni.io/
