Mobility designer Andrea Mocellin to work on refining Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7 aircraft in new partnership

New Hori­zon Air­craft (NASDAQ: HOVR), doing busi­ness as Hori­zon Air­craft, is part­ner­ing with inter­na­tion­al­ly acclaimed mobil­i­ty design­er Andrea Mocellin, to refine the design and aes­thet­ics of its Cavorite X7 hybrid-elec­tric eVTOL air­craft.

Mocellin is known for his pio­neer­ing work in the avi­a­tion, auto­mo­tive, and micro­mo­bil­i­ty sec­tor and brings exten­sive exper­tise from lead­ing roles at Lil­i­um, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, NIO, Pin­in­fa­ri­na and the inter­na­tion­al­ly-award­ed Revolve Air.

In a press release issued today (Wednes­day), Hori­zon said Mocellin’s vision­ary approach to design, blend­ing engi­neer­ing, aero­dy­nam­ics and sto­ry­telling, will ensure the Cavorite X7 is tech­no­log­i­cal­ly advanced and visu­al­ly icon­ic.

Bran­don Robin­son, CEO and Co-founder at Hori­zon Air­craft, said: “As we push for­ward with the next phase of the Cavorite X7’s devel­op­ment, part­ner­ing with Andrea allows us to ele­vate the aircraft’s design and rein­force our com­mit­ment to world-classin­no­va­tion in eVTOL tech­nol­o­gy.“

The Cavorite X7, designed for high per­for­mance, long-range capa­bil­i­ties, safe­ty, and oper­a­tional flex­i­bil­i­ty, will rep­re­sent a major leap in hybrid-elec­tric avi­a­tion. Hori­zon Air­craft and Mocellin will focus on refin­ing its exte­ri­or form, pro­por­tions, and key design ele­ments, seam­less­ly inte­grat­ing func­tion­al­i­ty with aes­thet­ics to enhance effi­cien­cy, aero­dy­nam­ics, and user expe­ri­ence.

The inte­ri­or will be designed to accom­mo­date mul­ti­ple con­fig­u­ra­tions, opti­miz­ing space and user expe­ri­ence with­out com­pro­mis­ing on func­tion­al­i­ty or com­fort.

Mocellin added: “It is a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to col­lab­o­rate with Hori­zon Air­craft on this ground­break­ing project. Bring­ing togeth­er my expe­ri­ence in trans­porta­tion design and mobil­i­ty inno­va­tion, our goal is to cre­ate an air­craft that is both per­for­mance-dri­ven and instant­ly rec­og­niz­able, set­ting a new bench­mark in the indus­try.”

This lat­est announce­ment fol­lows on from Hori­zon Air­craft’s excit­ing test flight update from last month, where the com­pa­ny achieved full wing tran­si­tion of its large-scale pro­to­type.
