  • Miami-based urban air mobility startup Doroni Aerospace has unveiled a production ready, personal flying car, the H1X. People could be flying this personal flying machine in 2025. Here are some key facts:
  • H1X is an eVTOL, an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle
  • 2-seat personal aircraft
  • Unique tandem wing configuration with the propellers built into the wing
  • 4 ducted fans provide lift and forward propulsion
  • Top speed is 120 mph
  • Range of 40 miles; up to 45 minutes flight time
  • Can takeoff from a driveway and fit in a 2-car garage
  • Intelligent, autonomous navigation system
  • Controlled by a joystick and semi-autonomous flying
  • Company working with FAA on full certification, likely as an ultralight aircraft
  • Already cleared by the FAA for flightworthiness
  • First customers could get their H1X's in 2025
  • Goes into mass production in 2026
  • Prototype being built with extensive flight testing set for later this year
  • Maximum payload of 500 pounds
  • Looks like a new way to commute.

  • NASA has spotted and documented a bizarre chain of clouds linked to UFO reports over the Florida Keys.   Here's what we know:
  • Cloud chain spotted northwest of the Florida Keys
  • Clouds shaped like UFOs
  • Ironically clouds also linked to UFO sightings
  • So unusual NASA posted the images
  • Most likely they were Cavum clouds or hole punch clouds
  • Fairly rare occurrence formed when planes fly over small, patchy clouds between 7,000 and 23,000 feet
  • The water vapor in the clouds is supercooled but not to the point of ice
  • Incredible sight
  • Scientists are using advanced satellite imagery, weather modelling and flight patterns to determine if it was a natural or other-worldly phenomenon, but likely culprit is Cavum clouds not UFO's.
