Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Secures dedicated composite fuselage production by contracting RAMPF, a critical industrialisation milestone that underpins prototype build progress (RAMPF selection).
Adds complex wing manufacturing and test capability with North Aircraft, reducing structure and aero‑integration risk ahead of planned prototype ground and flight tests (prototype ground and flight tests).
Strengthens the X7’s airframe supply chain as Horizon pursues robust, all‑weather performance and certification objectives, including its FIKI ambitions (FIKI certification target).
