Swift, silent, secure.

Combining the agility of a helicopter with the speed and range of a conventional aircraft, the hybrid, air-portable eVTOL Cavorite X7 offers the defense sector a more cost-effective, flexible, sustainable option for tactical deployment.

Designed to be less detectable.

With the fans hidden in the wings plus a shielded rear prop that deflects noise vertically, the Cavorite X7 has a significantly smaller audio and thermal signature. Meaning it can get closer to the target area, whatever the objective.

Taking flexibility farther.

The Cavorite X7 can land and take off on an area the size of a tennis court, whether on terrain or the deck of a frigate or carrier at sea. Two models can be transported in the hold of a C-17, and, for longer missions, it’s compatible with all mid-air refueling technology.

Made for the mission.

Offering a muted audio and infra-red signature, the Cavorite X7’s superior top speed, range and load enable greater accuracy and impact for the following operations.

Insertion and extraction

It’s the aircraft commandos have been waiting for: durable and versatile enough for all weathers, the Cavorite X7 cabin can fly one pilot and four fully-equipped special teams operatives quickly and quietly (at 3,500 rpm, the fans are predominantly beyond human hearing) to the target area. And back.

Surveillance and reconnaissance

Built for intelligence-gathering, the Cavorite X7’s resistance to detection and tracking is complemented by an in-flight cruise mode that automatically diverts 150 kw of power to the payload bay to operate sensors, radar and any other mission-critical technology. A fighter radar requires around 10 kw; the X7 can run an AESA array up to 15 times larger.

Medevac, search and rescue

The Cavorite X7’s cabin has the capacity for 1 pilot and 6 civilians, and can be reconfigured with stretchers and medical equipment for the seriously injured. Speed is life: the ability to fly direct to the scene and a hospital landing pad enables seamless rapid transfer for patients, often within the survival “golden hour”.

NATO Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability

(NGRC)

The Cavorite X7’s technology and capabilities compare favorably with other conventional military aircraft in the concept study #5 NATO NGRC Study, as shown in the table below. Scaled up, Horizon’s technology is in a strong position to be the choice for the Canadian concept for NATO NGRC.
