Tim Peake CMG gets up close with the VX4

At Rockwood Composites, we are proud to play a part in shaping the future of aviation through our contribution to the VX4 program. By supporting Vertical Aerospace in the development of this ground breaking electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, we’re helping to bring to life a new era of clean, efficient, and sustainable air travel. The VX4 represents a major step forward in how people could one day move seamlessly between cities and regions—without the noise, emissions, or congestion of traditional transport.

Listening to Tim speak about the VX4 was both inspiring and energizing. His vision for the future of short-range transportation—one that is not only more sustainable but also faster and more accessible—underscores just how far the industry has advanced in recent years. From design to deployment, it's clear we’re on the cusp of a transportation revolution.

And he even shared a personal touch—where he’d love to take his very first flight in a VX4. It’s moments like these that make the work we do feel even more meaningful.
