Best Flying Car Company in Fort Lauderdale

Why this business was selected

Doroni Aerospace earned this award on flight-test progress and certification transparency, the two factors this category weights most heavily for a personal eVTOL manufacturer. Doroni holds an FAA Special Airworthiness Certificate for prototype testing and reports more than 70 successful test flights, including what the company describes as one of the first-ever manned eVTOL test flights in the United States.

The company has been granted 5 patents covering propulsion, safety and aerodynamic systems, with 3 more filed, disclosed publicly rather than only claimed. Doroni also publishes a specific, dated certification roadmap rather than an open-ended promise: H1-X engineering through 2026, FAA certification test flights in 2027, and customer deliveries targeted for 2028.

The company reports more than $40 million in capital raised and over 600 pre-orders, a scale of committed customer and investor interest a handful of testimonials would not establish on its own.

About Doroni Aerospace

Doroni Aerospace Inc. designs and builds the H1-X, a two-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) personal flying car, from its headquarters in South Florida.

Founder and CEO Doron Merdinger started the company in 2017, progressing through a Y-prototype and an X-prototype before finalizing the H1 prototype design in 2021 and flying it under an FAA Special Airworthiness Certificate in July 2023. The H1-X pairs eight vertical and two horizontal independent ducted fans with a 120 mph top speed, a 100-mile point-to-point range and a 25-minute fast charge, and ships with a SOUL AI Digital Co-Pilot system.

Doroni is not a regional operator: it takes pre-orders and serves customers nationwide, with initial customer deliveries targeted for 2028.
