New Horizon Aircraft, doing business as Horizon Aircraft, a Canadian advanced aerospace engineering company and developer of the Cavorite X7, one the world's first hybrid eVTOL aircraft, has partnered with RAMPF Composite Solutions to manufacture the fuselage (the main body of the aircraft) for the Cavorite X7.
Based in Burlington, Ontario, RAMPF has earned a reputation as a leader in high-performance composite design, engineering and manufacturing. By combining advanced manufacturing processes with premium composite materials, RAMPF meets the most demanding industry standards. With deep experience supporting aerospace and defence customers, RAMPF will manufacture a fuselage for the Cavorite X7 that optimises its performance by meeting the precise requirements for the aircraft. These requirements include the fuselage being made of lightweight and high-strength composite materials to improve fuel efficiency and durability; designed to withstand harsh conditions, temperature fluctuations and high-impact forces; and have high structural integrity and precision.
RAMPF Composite Solutions CEO Larry Fitzgerald has this to say about the announcement: “We are very excited to work with Horizon Aircraft on its revolutionary new aircraft, the Cavorite X7. This is the kind of project that professionals across the composites industry truly aspire to work on. It will show 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.”
Horizon Aircraft co-founder and CEO Brandon Robinson adds: “RAMPF's industry-leading aerospace composite capabilities make this a critical partnership for us. Seeing fuselage manufacturing underway is incredibly meaningful, and having it built locally in Ontario, Canada is something we are proud of. RAMPF's highly experienced team understands the significance of what Horizon Aircraft is working to achieve, and we look forward to bringing the Cavorite X7 to life together.”
