New Horizon Aircraft has partnered with RAMPF Composite Solutions (RAMPF) to manufacture the fuselage – the main body of the aircraft – for its Cavorite X7 hybrid-electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) programme.
RAMPF has built a strong global reputation as a leader in high-performance composite design, engineering and manufacturing. Using advanced production techniques and premium composite materials, the company meets some of the most demanding industry standards.
With extensive experience supporting aerospace and defence customers, RAMPF will produce a fuselage for the Cavorite X7 designed to optimise performance and meet strict technical requirements. These include the use of lightweight, high-strength composite materials to improve fuel efficiency and durability, resilience against harsh operating conditions and temperature fluctuations, and the structural integrity needed to withstand high-impact forces with precision.
Larry Fitzgerald, CEO of RAMPF Composite Solutions, welcomed the collaboration: “We are very excited to work with Horizon Aircraft on their revolutionary new aircraft, the Cavorite X7. This is exactly the type of project that professionals across the composites industry aspire to be part of. It will demonstrate how lightweight, high-performance composites continue to push the boundaries of engineering and design. It is an honour for RAMPF to collaborate with Horizon on such a game-changing aircraft.”
