ZeroAvia and Horizon Aircraft have announced a partnership to develop regional hydrogen-electric VTOL air travel, focusing on ZeroAvia's ZA600 powertrain for Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 eVTOL. The Cavorite X7 incorporates a unique fan-in-wing design with 14 lift fans for vertical takeoff and the ability to transition seamlessly to wing-borne flight. Horizon Aircraft has successfully tested a large-scale prototype, demonstrating various flight modes. The collaboration aims to not only integrate ZeroAvia's powertrain but also expedite research on infrastructure and certification for zero-emission air travel. Val Miftakhov, ZeroAvia's CEO, praised Horizon Aircraft's progress and leadership in exploring hydrogen as a viable propulsion option. This partnership represents a significant advancement towards sustainable air travel, leveraging hydrogen-electric propulsion for increased range potential and durability. The industry continues to show a growing interest in hydrogen-electric systems as a breakthrough technology for the aviation sector, with Horizon Aircraft and ZeroAvia leading the way in this innovative space.
