Doroni Aerospace is a Pompano Beach, Florida-based company specializing in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology, founded in 2017 by Doron Merdinger.[1][2][3] It received FAA Special Airworthiness Certification for its H1 prototype on December 1, 2023.[citation needed]

Collaborations include Space Florida for industry support and international aerospace initiatives.[citation needed]

History

The company was founded by Doron Merdinger, who studied microelectronics and computer science before earning a BBA at USIU and an MBA at NYU Stern. Development began in 2017 with the “Y” prototype, followed by the “X” in March 2018 and the finalized H1 in 2021.[citation needed] Construction of the H1 prototype completed in January 2023, leading to FAA-approved test flights later that year.[4]

It raised over US$4.9 million via equity crowdfunding on StartEngine.[5] In April 2025, Doroni secured a US$30 million investment from Innovation Wings Industries to accelerate H1-X development.[citation needed] In February 2025, the company entered agreements worth up to US$180 million with Saudi Arabian partners for manufacturing and export.[6] It also entered other strategic partnerships in early 2025.[citation needed]

Products and services

The H1-X is a two-seat eVTOL capable of 120 mph, a 25-minute recharge on a standard EV charger, joystick controls, autonomous navigation, anti-collision sensors, and a full-vehicle ballistic parachute. It requires only a driver’s license plus 20 hours of company training.[citation needed]

Commercial strategy

Direct sales target first responders and law enforcement, with consumer retail showrooms, pop-up events, and online platforms. A showroom debut is scheduled for April 2025, followed by public roadshows and test flights.[citation needed]

Future developments

Pursuing FAA Light Sport Aircraft certification for commercial availability. Production and delivery target end of 2026, with planned manufacturing in Saudi Arabia via Innovation Wings Industries.[7]
