Horizon Aircraft Collaborates with BETA Technologies for Cavorite X7 Flight Controls

Horizon Aircraft has chosen BETA Technologies to supply advanced flight control computers for its hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft, the Cavorite X7. The collaboration will integrate BETA's fly-by-wire systems, enhancing the precision, stability, and safety of the aircraft. BETA's platform, designed for modern VTOLs, includes software and hardware that meet rigorous safety standards.

BETA's flight control computers (FCCs) support various certification pathways, ensuring compliance with FAA and international regulations. These FCCs are critical for aircraft handling and certification, emphasizing safety and performance.

Shared economies of scale between Horizon and BETA reduce component costs and improve manufacturing efficiency. The agreement highlights Horizon's commitment to rigorous program requirements as it advances aircraft development and testing.
