The Lockheed X-7 (dubbed the "Flying Stove Pipe") is an American unmanned test bed of the 1950s for ramjet engines and missile guidance technology. It was the basis for the later Lockheed AQM-60 Kingfisher, a system used to test American air defenses against nuclear missile attack. Development of the Kingfisher was first initiated in December 1946.

The X-planes are a series of experimental United States aircraft and rockets, used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. They have an X designator within the US system of aircraft designations, which denotes the experimental research mission.

The Cavorite X7 prototype can take off vertically, but once in flight our patented HOVR wing system reverts to the configuration of a conventional airplane. That means it will be able to go faster and farther — while carrying more people or cargo — than other vertical takeoff and landing aircraft born of more traditional helicopter designs.

The Cavorite X7’s patented HOVR wing design enables safer, more durable performance in the most forbidding conditions. Its advanced hybrid power system enables flight with longer ranges and higher speeds.

The Cavorite X7 is a long-range hybrid-electric VTOL seven passenger concept design aircraft made for advanced air mobility (AAM). The aircraft holds one pilot, six passengers and their luggage. The cockpit has a canopy over the cockpit that …

The Lockheed X-7 (dubbed the "Flying Stove Pipe") was an American unmanned test bed of the 1950s for ramjet engines and missile guidance technology. The X-7 was carried aloft by a B-29 or B-50 Superfortress carrier aircraft. A booster rocket ignited after …

2025年1月13日 · Horizon Aircraft has signed a letter of intent with Discovery Air Chile to lease five Cavorite X7 hybrid electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The aircraft, which is designed to offer faster transfer times for passengers and cargo while reducing operational costs, is expected to be delivered to Discovery Air Chile by 2028.
