There’s absolutely nothing ‘normal’ about the electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft from Horizon Aircraft but a large-scale model prototype has just made its first flight.
The Horizon Cavorite X7 can take off and land vertically using 16 electric fans mounted in the wing and canard, then transition to forward flight like a normal aeroplane.
Once the Cavorite X7 reaches a certain height and 115km/hr airspeed, the fans are covered by sliding panels. For landing the fans can be deployed or the aircraft can land on a normal runway.
