Start-up eVTOL firm Horizon Aircraft has announced that it has achieved full wing transition of its large-scale prototype aircraft.
“This achievement validates our unique and robust approach to the transition phase of flight,” said Brian Robinson, Chief Engineer and co-founder. “In our aircraft, the transition phase was designed from the beginning to be a non-event, as there are no complicated multi-copter rotating nacelles or heavy tilt-wing mechanisms, and we have multiple layers of redundancy. The result is an extremely safe and stable transition, a vital part of eVTOL operations, and an area in which many of our competitors have faced serious challenges.”

The aircraft’s patented fan-in-wing technology is based on technology that uses modern electric motors and batteries to create a next-generation eVTOL system that enables a simpler, safer, and more efficient way to fly.
