JAKARTA - Flying electric cars are not only present in fictional stories, they are now present in the world, one of which is the Miami-based company Doroni Aerospace.
The company even announced that its all-electric flying car, Doroni H1, had received the FAA's official Airworthiness Certification, which it claimed was the first company to test manned flights with 2-seater flying electric cars in the United States.
Quoted from the Electrek page, Saturday, December 2, Doron Merdinger's CEO managed to pilot a private vertical electric take-off and landing (eVTOL) this summer, and obtaining certification is a huge achievement.
"Receiving flight certification is not just a milestone for our company, but a leap forward for the entire field of private air mobility," he said.
He further said the all-electric flying car is ready to be used as urban transportation, and is a good alternative to avoid congestion.
Interestingly, Doroni's flying car had received more than 370 orders upfront, when the startup completed its funding efforts. This means that there are a lot of enthusiasts.

Regarding the specifications, this flying car is supported by ten independent propulsion systems, which are claimed to have a top speed of 140 mph (100 mph cruise speed) and a range of 60 miles or 96 km.
The design looks unique but still ensures stability during flights, covering four channels containing two e-motors with patented channel propellers, and is claimed to have a 20-80 percent fast charging feature in less than 20 minutes.
The company says there is enough space available to fly anywhere, especially in suburban areas that can even be used for various other purposes.
"Doroni's all-electric flying car is designed to take you more than just from point A to point B, but make it possible to enjoy nature," he added.
Doroni will build around 120 to 125 units by 2025 or 2026. Ultimately, the Miami-based startup plans to increase production by 2,500 eVTOLs annually.
