Hybrid eVTOL aircraft developer Horizon Aircraft will work alongside ZeroAvia on developing regional hydrogen-electric VTOL air travel.
Together, the companies will cooperate on exploring zero-emission, regional eVTOL power systems with the intention to evaluate ZeroAvia’s ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrain in the Cavorite X7, Horizon Aircraft’s unique fan-in-wing eVTOL.
As well as investigating the integration of ZeroAvia’s powertrain, the partnership will accelerate research into the necessary infrastructure and certification guidelines to unlock a zero-emission pathway for Horizon Aircraft.
Brandon Robinson, CEO and Co-Founder at Horizon Aircraft, said, “We are a company that continues to focus on what is best for operators of our aircraft. We have been impressed with ZeroAvia’s recent flight demonstrations of hydrogen-electric propulsion systems and the company’s traction with regulators. We are thankful for the opportunity to explore hydrogen solutions for the regional air mobility market which could develop into a viable solution to deliver clean, fast, and highly efficient air travel.”
Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO of ZeroAvia, said, “More and more eVTOL companies are looking to hydrogen-electric propulsion as the breakthrough that can extend range potential and durability of electric propulsion systems. Horizon Aircraft has developed an exciting application and performed successful prototype testing, and they are taking another leadership step in exploring hydrogen as a potential propulsion option for the Cavorite X7.”
The planned collaboration with ZeroAvia is seen as an innovative move forward for Horizon Aircraft as it considers all operational and practical technologies. The company is developing strong aerospace partnerships while building momentum towards certification and commercial readiness.
