Briefing
The HX‑1 maiden flight has been rescheduled into early 2026, a concrete change that pushes the demonstrator’s flight‑test timeline beyond its previously stated schedule.
The delay adds to a run of recent maiden‑flight slips across aerospace programmes — including the Ariane 64 maiden delay, the Boeing 777X schedule push, CNES’s FROG‑H postponement and the Dream Chaser slip, underscoring continuing timetable risk for new aircraft and launch programmes.
