Horizon Aircraft Adds Tom Hearne to Its Board of Directors

Horizon Aircraft is broadening its leadership bench with the addition of technology executive Tom Hearne to its Board of Directors. Alongside the board seat, Hearne will take on a role on the company’s Audit Committee, giving him a direct hand in financial oversight as the eVTOL developer moves forward.

The appointment points to a company working to strengthen its governance structure as it pushes ahead in the advanced air mobility space. Bringing in an executive with a technology background to sit on both the board and the audit committee suggests Horizon is pairing technical ambition with tighter financial discipline.

Horizon Aircraft has not disclosed further details about the timing of the appointment or additional responsibilities attached to the role. The company continues to position itself among the developers chasing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for future air mobility missions.
