GALLERY: HORTEN Aircraft Launches Development Program of its NG2 Flying Wing Aircraft as it Targets New Investment

German-based HORTEN Aircraft says it is ready to launch the development program of its HORTEN NG2 – an innovative flying wing aircraft, which is becoming feasible in a relevant market segment for the first time thanks to the new MOSAIC regulation.

Based in Eisenach, located about 150km northeast of Frankfurt, the company is moving forward based on the industry’s continued momentum following the FAA’s recently renacted MOSAIC regulation in the USA and has a clear mission: to bring flying wings to General Aviation.

HORTEN is targeting investors and strategic partners with an international campaign. The aim is to raise global awareness of the program’s potential and innovative strength, and to specifically reach out to those eager to shape the future of General Aviation.

Dr. Hanns-Walter Schulz, Managing Director, Strategy & Operations, HORTEN Aircraft GmbH, said: “We’ve spent years carefully planning every detail – from market analysis to product definition, from engineering to production. This is not just an idea – it is a clearly structured path to success.

“Now is the right time to take the step into series development together with strong partners”

Building on its historical cooperation with Reimar Horten and decades of experience in the field of flying wing technology, HORTEN has demonstrated technical feasibility with the successful HX‑2 demonstrator. With the NG2, HORTEN aims to establish itself as a new premium player in General Aviation, driven by true German engineering.

Regulation as an Enabler

It is only the recently enacted MOSAIC regulation in the USA that creates the conditions for an aircraft as advanced as the HORTEN NG2 with convincing performance, advanced featuresand premium comfort to be approved in an attractive market segment of General Aviation.

With this in mind, HORTEN says it is seizing this market opportunity, leveraging decades of flying wing expertise to develop the NG2. The abbreviation “NG” stands for ‘Next Generation’ and marks the technological leap in the long history of flying wings, which is so closely associated with the name Horten.

Technological Progress Based on Proven Experience

The development of the HORTEN NG2 builds directly on the successful HX‑2 demonstrator. The data gathered during HX‑2’s flight testing enabled HORTEN to significantly reduce key technical risks even before launching the NG2 program.

Differentiation & Market Potential

With its flying wing configuration, HORTEN is setting new standards in the General Aviation two-seater segment and targets a rapidly growing international market.

The NG2 is designed as the “Grand Tourismo of the skies”: the unique configuration ensures an unmistakable appearance, while the spacious cabin and advanced features meet the highest standards of comfort and functionality.
