As of Oct 2026, DEPLOY verifies Horizon Aircraft: 1 model. 4 sources back the record.
CategoryDrones
Overview
Canadian eVTOL company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, developing the Cavorite X7 — a 7-seat hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft using patented HOVR fan-in-wing technology. The X7 takes off vertically on electric motors, then wings conceal the fans and it transitions to gas-powered forward flight at twice the speed of a helicopter. Horizon Aircraft went public via SPAC merger in 2024 and is listed on NASDAQ as HOVR.
Large-scale prototype is flying. Missions: medevac, search & rescue, business travel, critical cargo, remote communities, defense ISR. $17M cash on hand as of fiscal 2026.
