They claim that to be a totally unique path to the emerging market.Ĭavorite is a word invented by H.G. Recently they presented Cavorite X5, a 5-seat hybrid eVTOL design with a wicked-cool split-wing mechanism to transition between VTOL and horizontal flight. Les Jacobs, Vice-President, Research and Innovation, Ontario Tech University.One more new project that seems interesting is the Horizon Aircraft from Canada. In addition to adding to our understanding of using advanced manufacturing technologies for the creation of a greener aerospace industry, this project will accelerate the design and development activities needed to get Horizon's innovative new eVOTL aircraft on the market."

This is a great opportunity for students from both institutions to be learning from a company leading in this field. Hybrid electric aircraft are the future for the aerospace industry. "We are excited to again work with Fleming College's CAMIIT and Horizon Aircraft on this innovative project. Brett Goodwin, Vice-President, Applied Research and Innovation, Fleming College

Working shoulder-to-shoulder with the aerospace engineers at Horizon, the research teams will transform how a novel aircraft will be designed, tested, and manufactured in Canada and beyond." "The complementary advanced manufacturing expertise of Fleming College's Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and Industrial Internet of Things and Ontario Tech University's Machining Research Laboratory brings many advantages and benefits to innovative companies like Horizon Aircraft. This is pivotal to the success of our eVTOL system." Advanced manufacturing processes and technologies such as these are proving to be an efficient and highly effective way to prototype innovative new aerospace parts. "We are looking to our academic research partners to assist us with their expertise in additive manufacturing, topology optimization, modelling, and prototyping. This is the second collaborative research project undertaken by the two institutions and Horizon Aircraft. The research teams at MRL and AD2M Labs contribute their expertise in design, optimization, additive, and subtractive manufacturing, modelling and simulation, and materials behaviour. Hossam Kishawy, Professor and Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Ahmad Barari, Associate Professor and Director of Advanced Digital Design and Manufacturing and Advanced Digital Metrology Laboratories (AD2M Labs), and Dr. Sayyed Ali Hosseini, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, and Director of Ontario Tech's Machining Research Laboratory (MRL). Ontario Tech University's research lead is Dr. The CAMIIT research team's strengths and expertise include mechatronics system design, product development, Industrial Internet of Things, advanced manufacturing, and rapid prototyping. Fereydoon Diba, lead Research Scientist at Fleming College's Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and Industrial Internet of Things (CAMIIT). The institutions were jointly awarded $750,000 over three years from NSERC's Innovation Link program, under the Tri-Agency College and Community Innovation Program. Like others in the aviation and aerospace industries, Horizon is searching for ways to make their vehicles more efficient, lightweight, and able to withstand high vibrations, stresses, and large loads. With this funding, expert researchers from both institutions will assist the local aerospace engineering company with the design and prototyping of innovative mechanisms for the company's electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.īased in the City of Kawartha Lakes, Horizon Aircraft has developed the prototype Cavorite X5, a hybrid electric eVTOL aircraft capable of potential speeds of up to 450 km/h, a 500-kilometre range, and five- passenger capacity. Fleming College and Ontario Tech University have been awarded funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to collaborate on a three-year research project with Horizon Aircraft.
