Horizon Aircraft Boosts Cash to $78.3M, Targets Q1 2027 for Full-Scale eVTOL Prototype
HOVR sits 59% above its 52-week low of $1.16.
Summary
Horizon Aircraft has strengthened its cash position to $78.3 million, extending its runway to over 24 months and funding the build of its first full-scale Cavorite X7 hybrid-electric eVTOL prototype. The company is on track to begin initial testing in Q1 2027, a critical milestone for a pre-revenue developer. New partnerships with BETA Technologies for fly-by-wire systems and RAMPF Composite Solutions for fuselage structures add credibility to the certification path. The appointment of a Chief Engineer of Certified Programs and plans to nearly double headcount to over 100 by summer 2027 signal a serious ramp in engineering and regulatory engagement. This follows a series of dilutive offerings in May that raised $45 million, but the updated cash figure and prototype timeline provide concrete evidence of progress. The next major catalyst is the Q1 2027 prototype test, which will validate the aircraft's design and could attract further strategic interest.
