Doroni Aerospace partners with TLG Aerospace to advance engineering and certification for the H1-X personal eVTOL

Doroni Aerospace, a trailblazing American flying car and eVTOL company, today announced a strategic engineering partnership with TLG Aerospace, LLC, an industry-leading aerospace engineering firm based in Seattle, Washington.

The alliance combines Doroni's cutting-edge vehicle design with TLG Aerospace's deep engineering analysis and certification expertise to accelerate the Doroni H1-X toward full-scale production, ground testing, and FAA airworthiness alignment.

Designed for residential garage integration and intuitive everyday personal flight, the Doroni H1-X features a tandem wing architecture, fully enclosed ducted fan propulsion, and proprietary SOUL AI digital co-pilot system. Under the agreement, TLG Aerospace will collaborate directly with Doroni's internal engineering team on full-vehicle design, structural loads analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and flight mechanics.

Combining visionary air mobility with proven aerospace engineering

By combining Doroni's vehicle platform with TLG Aerospace's engineering capabilities, which include in-house FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) specialising in flight performance and handling qualities, loads, structures, and aeroelasticity, the project establishes a rigorous analysis framework by which to guide the certification process under the MOSAIC regulatory framework. This approach validates the H1-X airframe's strength-to-weight ratio and transition flight physics prior to major physical build phases.

"Our mission with the H1-X is to make safe, sustainable, and personal flight an everyday reality," said Doron Merdinger, Founder & CEO of Doroni Aerospace Inc. "As we move rapidly toward advanced flight testing, joining forces with Steve and the TLG Aerospace team ensures our airframe and flight models meet the highest aerospace standards. TLG's technical analysis capabilities provide the ideal complement to our engineering team as we prepare the H1-X for market."

"The H1-X represents a compelling step forward for the personal air mobility sector," said Steve Muenzberg, Founder & President of TLG Aerospace, LLC. "Doroni has developed an impressive baseline vehicle architecture. Our team is excited to apply our structural, aerodynamic, and certification expertise to refine the H1-X model and help Doroni build a clear, streamlined path toward certification under the new MOSAIC consensus based standards.

Joint project focus areas

The engineering collaboration centres on critical technical and regulatory milestones:

– Configuration Engineering: Ensuring that the design will be safe and enjoyable to fly, with a clear path to meeting product and certification requirements.

– Structural Integrity & Airframe Loads: Performing comprehensive loads modelling to maximise the structural strength and payload efficiency of the carbon-fibre airframe.

– Aerodynamic & Transition Efficiency: Applying advanced CFD analysis to optimise hover lift, cruise aerodynamics, and energy consumption across all flight regimes.

– Compliance & DER Support: Structuring engineering datasets, stress reports, and test plans to align directly with consensus standards under the FAA MOSAIC programme.
