Horizon Aircraft has revised the Cavorite X7 VTOL, relocating its electric ducted lift fans into the canards and reprofiling the canards and tail to boost vertical‑lift and aerodynamic performance. The changes modify the aircraft’s propulsion–airframe integration ahead of further prototype development.

Briefing
Design update reflects further propulsion–airframe integration following Horizon’s motor system partnership with Motion Applied; repositioning the ducted fans and reprofiled surfaces are concrete changes suppliers and systems engineers must assess.
The tweak is part of the same development phase in which Horizon has pursued FIKI certification [source:b4f9712a-225e-4366-888b-9f396339cc39] and received INSAT funding to accelerate its programme [source:b5749468-cb85-445d-9e5c-89d9d1340aba], so these aerodynamic and propulsion changes feed directly into upcoming test, certification and funding milestones.
