MOSTAVIO's MX1 eVTOL Wins Prestigious Red Dot Award for Innovative Transportation Design Concept

MOSTAVIO’s MX1 eVTOL earns global recognition with a Red Dot Award for its innovative design. The concept highlights a bold new direction for next-generation urban air mobility.

MOSTAVIO, the Toronto-based developer of next-generation eVTOL aircraft, has been honored with the Red Dot Award: Design Concept for its MX1 model in the Trains, Planes & Watercraft category.

This recognition, one of the design industry’s highest, highlights the MX1 as a visionary step in future mobility technology. “We set out to create something that would challenge expectations, to spark curiosity while leaving a lasting impression,” said Nima Pourmostaghimi, CEO of MOSTAVIO, emphasizing the focus on conceptual design excellence.

MX1: Breaking Convention in Personal Air Mobility

The MX1 marks a significant departure from traditional eVTOL design. Inspired by the stealth and fluid motion of a shark, its form expertly balances emotional impact with aerodynamic efficiency. This award-winning design results in an aircraft that looks dynamic even on the ground.

Key design and technology features of this eVTOL concept include an immersive cockpit that draws from modern fighter jets, featuring a unique entry where the entire canopy lifts backward.

A large panoramic front window provides pilots and passengers with a dramatic, unobstructed field of view.

Furthermore, seating is engineered with a zero-gravity posture to enhance comfort and reduce fatigue, ensuring an immersive and emotional flight experience that revives the wonder of flight.

The aircraft embodies principles of safety and sustainability central to MOSTAVIO’s mission to make aerial transportation more accessible, efficient, and environmentally responsible.

The Red Dot Award: Design Concept

The Red Dot Award is globally regarded as one of the world’s most respected design competitions. The Design Concept division, established in 2005, specifically celebrates visionary ideas and early-stage innovations that define the future of global industries.

The competition receives tens of thousands of submissions annually from over 60 countries. An independent jury of international designers, academics, and industry experts’ awards distinctions only to a small, select group of truly outstanding concepts, solidifying the MX1’s position as a leader in innovative transportation design.
