Plans to Explore Hydrogen eVTOL Propulsion

Issue: 07-2025

ZeroAvia and Horizon Aircraft announced plans to work together on developing regional hydrogen-electric VTOL air travel. Together, the companies will cooperate on exploring Zero- Avia’s ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrain for Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7 eVTOL. The Cavorite X7’s unique fan-in-wing design incorporates 14 lift fans providing the thrust for vertical takeoff, with sliding panels which hide the fans as the aircraft transitions from hover to wing-borne flight and flies like a normal plane. For landing, it can use a normal runway, or the fans can be deployed to touchdown on a helipad, or an area the size of a tennis court. Horizon Aircraft has already performed untethered flight tests of a large-scale prototype, including demonstrating hover modes and transition to wingborne flight. The company has received backing from the US Department of Defence and approvals for flight testing from the Canadian regulator. 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.
