Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Syensqo’s selection secures primary composite and adhesive supply for the VX4 as Vertical pursues a 2028 type certification and says it expects remaining development spend to be below $700m.
  • The materials are already used on Vertical’s prototypes, reducing technical and integration risk as the programme moves from recent Phase 3 wingborne tests into piloted transition and production phases.
  • The deal underpins Vertical’s industrialisation plan and supports early VX4 assembly plans, including work at Cotswold Airport, strengthening near‑term production ramp prospects.
