Horizon Aircraft Partners with RAMPF to Manufacture the Fuselage for its Cavorite X7 Aircraft

New Hori­zon Air­craft Ltd, doing busi­ness as Hori­zon Air­craft, has part­nered with RAMPF Com­pos­ite Solu­tions to man­u­fac­ture the fuse­lage of its Cavorite X7 hybrid-elec­tric air­craft.

With deep expe­ri­ence sup­port­ing aero­space and defense cus­tomers, RAMPF will man­u­fac­ture a fuse­lage for the Cavorite X7 that opti­mizes its per­for­mance by meet­ing 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.

Hori­zon Air­craft Co-Founder and CEO, Bran­don Robin­son, said: “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.”

RAMPF has earned a strong glob­al 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.

RAMPF Com­pos­ite Solu­tions CEO Lar­ry Fitzger­ald, added: “We are very excit­ed to work with Hori­zon Air­craft on their 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.”
