加拿大向地平线飞机赠款2M美元,用于为更安全、更绿色的航空开发冰冷天气电子VTOL技术。 Canada grants Horizon Aircraft $2M to develop icy-weather eVTOL tech for safer, greener aviation.

视界飞机从加拿大INSAT计划获得了200万美元的非稀释性资助,以推进其1050万美元的CRYSTAL项目,开发一种全天候eVTOL推进系统,用于极端条件下运行,包括冰环境. Horizon Aircraft received a $2 million non-dilutive grant from Canada’s INSAT program to advance its $10.5 million CRYSTAL project, developing an all-weather eVTOL propulsion system for operation in extreme conditions, including icing environments. 该项目与多伦多大学和加拿大认证中心合作,侧重于冰探测和保护技术,如疏冰和热液涂层,目的是对Cavorite X7原型进行飞行到已知冰层(FIKI)认证。 The project, with partners University of Toronto and Certification Center Canada, focuses on ice detection and protective technologies like ice-phobic and electrothermal coatings, aiming for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI) certification on the Cavorite X7 prototype. 如果全球直升机机队的4%被取代,该公司估计每年二氧化碳减少26亿磅,业务费用降低75%,速度加快。 If 4% of the global helicopter fleet were replaced, the company estimates a 2.6 billion-pound annual CO2 reduction, 75% lower operating costs, and faster speeds. 该倡议支持更安全、更可持续的用于应急反应、防卫和货物的航空。 The initiative supports safer, more sustainable aviation for emergency response, defense, and cargo.
