New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. announce dthat its hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft, the Cavorite X7, is forecasted to operate up to 75% more cost efficiently compared to conventional helicopters on a cost per available seat mile basis. The aircraft further offers greater redundancy, speed, and higher aircraft utilization by combining all-weather capability with low maintenance requirements. The Cavorite X7's competitive operational and economic performance is attributed to its hybrid architecture and patented fan-in-wing design. Flying most missions in conventional fixed-wing cruise powered by a traditional turboprop engine, the Cavorite X7 is targeting regional distances up to 450 km/h, nearly twice the speed of today's helicopters serving similar mission profiles. This can cut response times by half for critical missions such as medevac, disaster relief, and defense operations while significantly lowering operational costs.

New Horizon Aircraft announces a partnership with North Aircraft Industries to manufacture and test the custom-engineered wings for the Company's full-scale VTOL aircraft, the Cavorite X7. North Aircraft Industries will conduct wing structural testing upon manufacturing completion.

New Horizon Aircraft has partnered with RAMPF Composite Solutions to manufacture the fuselage for the Cavorite X7. With deep experience supporting aerospace and defense customers, RAMPF will manufacture a fuselage for the Cavorite X7 that optimizes its performance by meeting precise requirements for the aircraft. These requirements include the fuselage being made of lightweight and high-strength composite materials to improve fuel efficiency and durability; designed to withstand harsh conditions, temperature fluctuations, and high-impact forces; and have high structural integrity and precision.
