This incredible achievement validates our unique and robust approach to the transition phase of flight, added Brian Robinson, chief engineer and co-founder. The aircraft also has twin-boom vertical stabilizers to the rear and a monocoque cabin that can accommodate up to six passengers, plus the operating pilot.

Hence, the British Purchasing Commission (headed by Sir Henry Self) approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the RAF. The only aircraft that came close was the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk, however the Curtiss-Wright production line was already running at capacity to satisfy existing orders.

This allows air to be drawn through the top of the fan and expelled out through the bottom in the form of downward thrust. However, the Cavorite X7 uses a different approach. According to the company itself, this significant increase in passenger payload makes the economics of the Cavorite X7 favorable over its competitors.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. I also departed with the minimum amount of fuel I was comfortable with (airlines use this strategy to increase performance and/or increase payload capacity).
