The H1-X represents the culmination of Doroni’s efforts, designed as a two-seat personal aircraft rather than a larger cabin for air taxi services. It features a unique tandem wing configuration with built-in propellers, enhancing lift and efficiency while managing airflow and noise.

Weighing 1,850 pounds and capable of carrying a 500-pound payload, the H1-X can fly for 40 minutes on a single charge, reaching a top speed of 120 mph. Doroni plans to train and certify future owners due to its high speed.
