Lift Aircraft this week announced the selection of composite material specialist Qarbon Aerospace as the manufacturing partner to build its Hexa electric multicopter. The companies will jointly integrate and assemble composite aerostructures for the personal air vehicle at a facility in Red Oak, Texas, using carbon fiber structures made at a Qarbon Aerospace plant in Thailand.

In a media statement, Qarbon Aerospace said it will handle supply-chain sourcing on behalf of Lift Aircraft. The company makes a variety of composite and metallic structures for aircraft, including fuselages, wings, flight-control surfaces, and engine nacelles.
