The aircraft was designed to comply with the European Class 6 microlight helicopter rules and be employed in air taxi service in urban areas.
It features 18 fixed-pitch propellers, each powered by its own electric motor.
Accommodation is two-seats-in side-by-side configuration in an enclosed cockpit with a windshield.
It uses skid landing gear.

The aircraft is made from carbon fibre composites.
The controls operate through a mesh polymer fibre optic network fly-by-light system.
The controls are a triple-redundant primary flight control unit, plus a dissimilar backup flight control unit and a joystick control.
The stabilization system employs gyroscopes, acceleration sensors, magnetic field measurement sensors and manometers.
Chip-maker Intel is involved in the integration of drone technology into the design.
Autonomous and remotely piloted control systems are under development.

The propellers are powered by three-phase PM synchronous brushless DC electric motors and are mounted on a spoked composite wheel mounted above the cabin.
The motors are powered by nine independent quick-change lithium ion batteries, each one powering two motors.
The batteries can be charged in 120 minutes normally or 40 minutes on quick-charge from the municipal power supply.
The batteries use active air cooling.
The propeller system can be dismantled for storage or ground transport.
The propeller system has a diameter of 9.15 m (30.0 ft).

The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 290 kg (639 lb) and a gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb), giving a useful load of 160 kg (353 lb) for pilot, passenger and baggage.
The aircraft includes a ballistic parachute.

The 2X has a service ceiling of 2,000 m (6,562 ft) and a hover ceiling of 1,650 m (5,413 ft).
It produces an overflight noise level of 65 dB(A) at 75 m (246 ft) distance.

The aircraft's price has not been announced.
