We haven’t reached the age in which everyone has a personal jet pack or a flying car, but you can reserve your very own Velo X Aerospace Velocitor X-1, a single-seat electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The Velocitor X-1 can take off from a space as small as a driveway. Once it’s airborne, an electric propulsion system with eight independent motors enable it to cruise for 45 minutes (plus reserve) or at speeds up to 70 mph. Velo X Aerospace adds, “Onboard sensors, LIDAR obstacle awareness, and automated stability systems work together to keep you clear of hazards and flying smoothly.” Once it’s time to land, the X-1 can be recharged to 80 percent in an hour.
Velo X Aerospace is currently accepting $5,000 deposits for the first 100 Velocitor X-1s, each priced at $156,000. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027.
