During 4 years of development and testing, they have proven that their measured results match the calculated and simulated performance in full scale prototypes. Founded by Chen Rosen and later joined by Netanel Goldberg and Rani Plaut, AIR is paving the way for a cleaner, more thrilling future of mobility, affording everyone the freedom to fly. AIR’s leadership is comprised of veterans of the aviation and automotive industries, harnessing the latest technology to build flying vehicles based on time-proven engineering design, usability, and operational standards. AIR’s passenger airEVs bring the size, practicality, and edginess of a sports car to the skies, letting people “drive the sky”, explore beyond the city limits and redefine the way they move. Based on technology and manufacturing techniques from the automotive and aerospace industries, AIR ONE is designed from inception to be a fun, safe, and practical vehicle that adheres to aerospace standards and regulations. Combining a sleek, modern design with cutting-edge flight control software, AIR gives individuals the gift of flight while requiring minimal training and upholding the highest FAA-approved safety standards. The X3 later pivoted into the X5 Cavorite as urban air mobility with eVTOL aircraft became technically feasible.ĪIR is revolutionizing everyday mobility for everyday people, empowering individuals to seize the power of personal flight. And so began the formal developmental work on an X3 prototype design on the Seabee, a fitting way to begin at the beginning. Fortunately, Brian had a ready-made experimental aircraft on which to test many of the advanced systems that would be used on the new design. It wasn’t long before Brian had convinced a visionary financier to join him in the quest to design a modern amphibious aircraft. Not a replica of the 1946 design Brian wanted to design a new all-season amphibious aircraft with advanced safety systems that would be the modern reflection of an aircraft that many had grown to love. As popular as the V8 Seabee engine conversion was, Brian fostered a deep-seated idea that had taken root long before the V8 Seabee ever flew. Engine power was increased from 215 HP to over 450 HP with significantly improved fuel efficiency, reliability, and safety. To this configuration he added a custom gear reduction drive alongside many additional safety features such as dual fuel pumps, dual batteries to meet aviation needs.
This automobile engine offered the advantage of modern systems such as air conditioning, exceptional power-to-weight ratio, and high reliability. Extensive research led to selection of the famous V8 GM Corvette LS-series engine. Tired of 1930s technology with poor fuel efficiency and reliability, he devised a plan to develop a new power plant for his aircraft, moving it into Transport Canada’s flexible Amateur-Built category. When Brian Robinson faced an expensive engine overhaul to his 1946 Republic Seabee, his engineering talents and creativity led him to explore alternative options. We are on track to have our sub-scale prototype flying in Q1 2021 and are excited to be building a better future for our next generation. With a focus on safety, practicality, and operational flexibility, multiple patents protect a first-of-its-kind design. At Horizon Aircraft, we are building the next generation of eVTOL machines.
