Velocitor X-1 eVTOL could be beating the traffic in just a year
3D commuting, that's the dream. Soaring over stopped traffic in a lightweight, quiet, safe personal eVTOL aircraft. The Velocitor X-1 joins a growing list of such machines, and it's slated to enter production within a year.
The X-1 is being developed by Michigan-based startup Velo X Aerospace, which is now taking $5,000 deposits on an initial run of 100 aircraft that are slated to begin production in the first quarter of 2027. The total price of each of those first 100 is US$156,000.
Like a number of similar eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft, the single-passenger X-1 utilizes eight electric motor/propeller modules mounted coaxially on the ends of four arms.
The X-1 has a maximum payload capacity of 260 lb (118 kg) - Velo X Aerospace
