In this episode of the RotorHub International Podcast, Editor Gideon Ewers is joined by Brandon Robinson, Co-founder and CEO of Horizon Aircraft, to discuss the company’s hybrid-electric approach to vertical flight and why they chose not to pursue an all-electric aircraft.
Robinson explains how Horizon Aircraft identified a gap in the market for a hybrid-electric VTOL that offers many of the capabilities of a conventional commercial aircraft. He also discusses the Cavorite X7’s distinctive fan-in-wing design and how it differs from the tilt-rotor and tilt-wing concepts being developed elsewhere in the market.
