Canada’s government has announced significant funding for aerospace projects focused on sustainable and innovative aviation technologies. One prominent initiative involves the INSAT program, which aims to support research into an all-weather vertical-lift propulsion system for the Cavorite X7 eVTOL aircraft.
Launched in 2023, this government-led effort seeks to promote decarbonization of the aerospace sector by fostering the development of environmentally friendly technologies. Horizon Aircraft, a leading player in the field, is among the recipients of funding aimed at integrating advanced propulsion systems capable of operating reliably under various weather conditions.
