Horizon Aircraft starts wind tunnel tests of University of Toronto ice protection tech for Cavorite X7 VTOL
  • New Horizon Aircraft began wind-tunnel tests in July 2026 on ice-protection “coupon” samples for its Cavorite X7 hybrid-electric VTOL.
  • Testing forms the first step to assess viability of University of Toronto anti-icing technology for integration on the aircraft.
  • Work supports a $10.5 million INSAT-funded all-weather vertical propulsion eVTOL project with Cert Center Canada and the university.
  • Program targets Flight Into Known Icing certification, positioning the X7 for higher winter-operability than helicopters or open-rotor eVTOLs.
