Horizon Aircraft selects PT6A engine for hybrid eVTOL

New Horizon Aircraft (HOVR) announces its purchase of the PT6A engine from Pratt & Whitney Canada. The PT6 turboprop engine family is the most popular engine in its class, considered to be one of the most reliable and efficient aircraft engines ever produced. With a proven performance record in a wide range of aircraft and high-power applications, the PT6A engine is the optimal choice for Horizon Aircraft’s full-scale hybrid eVTOL, the Cavorite X7, which will fly most of its mission like a conventional airplane. The PT6A’s architecture and modular reverse flow design also simplifies installation and ongoing engine maintenance.
