In a bold leap from science fiction to reality, Brazilian research group Dakila Pesquisas has unveiled its first flying car prototype—Genesis X1, a sleek electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle that could redefine how Brazilians move through their cities and beyond.
A Dream 24 Years in the Making
The Genesis X1 was officially presented at the 2024 Agricultural Aviation Congress in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, where it stole the spotlight among cutting-edge innovations. For Urandir Fernandes de Oliveira, founder and CEO of Dakila Pesquisas, the moment was deeply personal. “Seeing this ‘baby’ fly is phenomenal,” he said, reflecting on over two decades of dedication to the dream.
What Makes Genesis X1 Unique?
Unlike traditional helicopters, the Genesis X1 is battery-powered, making it more sustainable and easier to maintain. It seats four passengers and boasts a flight autonomy of 30 to 40 minutes, ideal for short urban hops. Its compact design allows it to access areas that helicopters can’t reach, offering a new level of logistical flexibility for both urban and rural applications.
From Research to Real-World Impact
Dakila Pesquisas isn’t just building flying cars for show. The vehicle is part of a broader ecosystem of innovation, supporting the group’s ongoing research into Brazil’s ancient pathways and hidden cities, such as Ratanabá and Caminhos do Peabiru. The Genesis X1 is expected to aid in field research by reaching remote areas with minimal environmental disruption.

The implications of this technology are vast. In a country where traffic congestion and infrastructure gaps challenge daily commutes, flying vehicles like the Genesis X1 could revolutionize urban mobility. Imagine bypassing gridlock in São Paulo or reaching isolated Amazonian communities in minutes rather than hours.
Conclusion: Lifting Off Toward a Smarter Brazil
The Genesis X1 isn’t just a flying car—it’s a symbol of Brazil’s growing role in global innovation. As eVTOL technology matures, Brazil could become a leader in sustainable aerial mobility, transforming how people connect across its vast and varied landscape. With visionaries like Dakila Pesquisas at the helm, the sky is no longer the limit—it’s just the beginning.
