Horizon Aircraft and its 800km range hybrid eVTOL aircraft | Airlines

Within the world of aviation, the launch of commercial eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off/Landing) flights is starting to loom large on the radar screen. As it does, one aircraft is seeking to capture a particular slice of the advanced air mobility market, one that none of its rivals can challenge – that is, the provision of electric flights for seven people flying at up to 250 knots (450kph) and with a stage length of around 500 miles (800km). That aircraft is the Horizon Aircraft Cavorite X7. 

Having met with Phil Kelly, Senior Vice President of Business Development of Canada-based Horizon Aircraft at the Farnborough Air Show in July 2024, AeroTime examines this unique aircraft, analyses the technology behind it, and looks at what might come next for this long-range hybrid eVTOL pioneer. 

What is the Cavorite X7? 

The Cavorite X7, named after the fictional gravity-defying material in H.G. Wells’ 1901 novel ‘The First Men in the Moon’, is a hybrid eVTOL aircraft that combines a conventional aero engine with battery-powered wing-based fans. It features a forward-swept main wing, plus a smaller set of horizontal canard-style stabilizers mounted on the forward fuselage. The aircraft also has twin-boom vertical stabilizers to the rear and a monocoque cabin that can accommodate up to six passengers, plus the operating pilot.
