Introducing the Velocitor X-1
Personal Aerial Vehicle
VELO X Aerospace proudly announces the launch of its revolutionary personal electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the Velocitor X-1.
This cutting-edge innovation in air mobility represents a significant leap forward in personal transportation, with features designed to redefine urban commuting and recreational flying.
The Velocitor X-1, meticulously engineered by VELO X Aerospace, boasts unparalleled design features that set it apart from conventional eVTOL platforms.
Combining advanced technology with uncompromising safety and efficiency, the Velocitor X-1 promises to revolutionize the way individuals travel.
Key Design Features
Offering an impressive 45 minutes of flight time with an additional 15-minute reserve, the Velocitor X-1 has ample opportunity for urban exploration and efficient commuting.
A rapid-deployed ballistic parachute system and a lidar obstacle clearance safety feature, prioritizes passenger safety and peace of mind.
The Velocitor X-1 features auto take-off and landing capabilities, simplifying the flying experience for both seasoned pilots and newcomers to aerial travel.
With multiple redundant systems in place, the Velocitor X-1 sets a new standard for safety and reliability in personal eVTOL aircraft.
Capable of reaching speeds of up to 70mph , the Velocitor X-1 offers swift and efficient transportation for urban commuters and recreational flyers alike.
Using the extensive network of charging solutions, the Velocitor X-1 can charge up to 80% in less than one hour.
Safety Features
The system identifies loss of control and triggers a series of safety measures including parachute deployment. The ballistic parachute is fast and effective at high and low altitude operations.
With multiple propellers, motors, controllers, and batteries, there is no single point of failure that cannot be compensated for, allowing for a safe landing.
The specialized chassis, seat, 4-point harness, and reinforced structural design are all optimized to maximize safety.
LIDAR obstacle warning and avoidance system (LOWAS) for safe avoidance of obstacles such as ground based power lines, trees, and structures.
Hovering is straightforward with GPS position sources. Simply release the controls and it will maintain its position.
The ultra-strong composite seat and 4-point harness provide a high level of safety and security.

When we decided we wanted to take a leap into the future of flight and revolutionize the way we take to the sky, we hit the drawing board. With safety and innovation being our top concerns, we were constantly updating features and design to ensure we create the highest quality aircraft possible.
With our design locked in we began researching to find the most cutting edge technology in components to meet our highest standards in safety and innovation.
Once we were able to source components to meet our highest standards, we started to put it all together in our first active prototype aircraft.
With each and every component added to our prototype came a test of its quality. From durability testing and evaluation to verifying every claim made by the manufacturer, we tested every detail of every sourced component to verify they lived up to our standards. All and any components we had any doubt on were marked and noted for replacement with a better component in future builds.
With our first prototype ready to power up, we moved to the field for testing. Tethered flight tests, one after another flooded us with data and new information from every test. New data allowed us to constantly improve in design and programming making adjustments and refining every aspect of our prototype.
With our gained knowledge and multiple revisions the design for the final product was born.
We are excited to announce that we have successfully secured our first round of funding! If you’re an investor, stay tuned for future opportunities to get involved.
We plan to take everything we learned from our first build and implement those changes into two new prototypes.
Knowing what needed to be changed, we can put our sights on specific points to test on top of all previous safety and systems test used on our first build. Starting with systems tests along with structural integrity, We will test every aspect of our aircraft moving from tethered to unmanned flight and finally to manned flight testing.
Once we are sure we have a product that exceeds all of our safety and performance standards, our plan is to make our reveal at EAA AirVenture OshKosh 2025. Here we plan to introduce the world to Velo X Aerospace’s Velociter X-1 and open for pre-orders.
Once our reveal is complete and we are open for orders, we plan to begin setup on a dedicated production facility for the Velociter X-1.
With our production facility up, certifications nearing completion, and the training center being set up, things are getting exciting! We’re now reaching out to owners with orders, letting them know their X-1 is gearing up for production.
The plan is to ship our first aircraft and begin full distribution by end of year 2026
