Horizon Aircraft has signed a Letter of Intent with V-Star Powered Lift Aviation, an Australian-based aircraft operator specializing in advanced power-lift aircraft, to purchase 5 Cavorite X7 hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft with options to purchase up to an additional 95 aircraft. V-Star intends to secure the delivery slots for these 5 aircraft with a firm deposit upon execution of the definitive agreement.
V-Star provides innovative, cost-effective aviation solutions with particular expertise in critical emergency services. The addition of Cavorite X7s into V-Star’s fleet will significantly reduce medevac response times and patient transfers, and search and rescue missions can be executed faster and more cost-efficiently.
V-Star CEO Tony Laws commented: “Flying at nearly twice the speed of helicopters, the addition of Cavorite X7s to our fleet will be a critical advantage to help people in need when minutes matter. V-Star is committed to delivering leading powered-lift technologies across Australia to improve outcomes on critical missions, and this LOI with Horizon Aircraft brings us one step closer to a new standard for emergency services operations and cost-effective transport solutions in regional Australia.”
Horizon Aircraft Co-Founder and CEO Brandon Robinson stated:“V-Star’s intentions of moving to a firm order to deploy Cavorite X7s for time-critical missions makes this LOI significant. As more operators learn how the X7 is a compelling operational and economic alternative to helicopters, we believe a significant transformation will occur across emergency air services worldwide.”
