Horizon Aircraft has announced it has signed a Letter of Intent with V-Star Powered Lift Aviation for five Cavorite X7 hybrid-electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft with options to purchase up to an additional 95 aircraft.
On June 21, 2026, Horizon Aircraft said V-Star intends to secure the delivery slots for the first five aircraft with a firm deposit upon completion of the definitive agreement.
Australian V-Star is an aircraft operator specializing in advanced power-lift aircraft, providing emergency services, search and rescue, aeromedical, and regional transport.
“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,” Horizon Aircraft said.
“V-Star’s intentions of moving to a firm order to deploy Cavorite X7s for time-critical missions makes this LOI significant,” Horizon Aircraft co-founder and CEO Brandon Robinson said: “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.”
Horizon Aircraft, a Canadian aerospace company, is developing one of the world’s first hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft designed to fly most of its mission in traditional wing-borne flight.
“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,” V-Star CEO Tony Laws said.
