New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. announced several updates as the company continues to prove critical technology elements of its unique aircraft. Key Technical Highlights: Validation of the patent pending yaw control system, a key component of the patented HOVR Wing technology, has also been an important element in the recent testing phases. This system enables precise hover and performance in strong crosswinds, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride for passengers as well as enhanced stability and control for pilots.

Full-scale propulsion unit production has commenced. With the detailed design and aerodynamic analysis sufficiently developed, physical production and testing of the core vertical lifting fan technology represents a significant technical step towards building the full-scale prototype aircraft. Horizon?s large-scale prototype continues to reach technological milestones as it moves through its rigorous flight-testing program governed under Transport Canada?s Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC).

Transitional flight tests remain on schedule to be completed by mid-summer and the aircraft continues to demonstrate expected stability and control. The Company continues to leverage lessons learned from its current large-scale prototype flight test program to develop its full-scale aircraft. The Cavorite X7 eVTOL design is expected to fly faster and carry more cargo than its all-electric competitors.

The aircraft features a patented wing system allowing it to fly most of its mission in a configuration like that of a normal aircraft. It will use a hybrid electric main power system that promises to be extremely efficient, safe, and able to re-charge its battery array in flight and after landing. With a growing team of aviation professionals, engineers and technicians, Horizon Aircraft?s elite aerospace team is positioned to build its full-scale demonstrator on schedule and capitalize on a rapidly growing Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market.
