DESCRIPTION
Horizon Aircraft, a company that recently went public, is building a hybrid electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. The aircraft can take off and land vertically, like a helicopter, but can also transform into a normal aircraft configuration and fly twice as fast. The company's decision to go public was driven by finding a great partner and wanting to share the journey with retail investors. They have also secured a significant deal with Jet Set Go. The market for EVTOL aircraft is projected to grow from $1.2 billion in 2023 to $22-24 billion by 2030, driven by advancements in technology and the need for efficient transportation in congested areas.
