HOVR: our patented technology
The best of both worlds
The Cavorite X7’s unique fan-in-wing design combines the agility and versatility of a helicopter with the speed and strength of a conventional aircraft.
Within the transforming wings are 14 powerful lift fansthat provide the required thrust for vertical takeoff.
Upon reaching a safe altitude and 115km/hr, sliding panels hide the fans, and the X7 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.
