This milestone comes a few days after Doroni announced the successful completion of tethered flight tests with the H1 prototype; and yaw, pitch, and roll testing several days prior to that.
“This is an extremely exciting time for Doroni. Our team has poured 7 years of tireless innovation and sacrifice to reach this point, but it’s only the beginning of what we’ve set out to accomplish. It’s truly a dream come true.”
Doroni would also like to announce that their Reg CF raise on the equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine.com is concluding in 4 days, on March 3rd, 2023. To date, Doroni has raised over $1.8M from over 716 investors in its current crowdfunding raise, and previously maxed out its first raise at $1.06M from 914 investors.
Doroni flagship eVTOL
The Doroni H1 is the company’s go-to-market vehicle, and the company is on track to begin flight testing by Q4 of this year, with plans to secure FAA certification and launch commercially in the second half of 2024.
The Doroni H1 currently under development is a two seater personal eVTOL that will be made available for public purchase (with an estimated starting retail price of $195K) which anyone can own, fly, and park in a standard two car garage. In order to get started, customers will need a current valid driver’s license and completion of a 20-hour training course provided by the company.
To date, Doroni has raised $2.7M+ from over 1,550 investors on the equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine.com. The company maxed out their first raise on the platform, and has received 230+ pre-order requests for go-to-market aircraft. Doroni Aerospace recently relocated operations to a 13,000 square R&D facility in Pompano Beach, FL, where the company expects to complete prototype testing and development.
Doroni is proud to be supported by Space Florida, a state agency dedicated to maintaining Florida’s leadership position in global aerospace, who is helping the company scale their operations by providing land, facilities, and tooling. Tony Gannon (VP Research & Innovation) and Matt Chesnut (VP Business and Economic Development) are among Doroni’s closest collaborators and biggest champions.
