Testimonials

I’ve been searching for new materials to advance our innovative concepts in the aerospace interiors market for some time. HX5 allows us to create cutting edge lightweight designs that are a game changer for the industry.
Adam White, Factorydesign
We are bringing revolutionary technology to the commercial sector that will significantly address the greenhouse gas concerns encountered by the aerospace industry. Our target is to reduce carbon emissions of a commercial single-aisle passenger plane by over 600,000 lbs. per year.
Joe D’Cruz, Catalyze Dallas
HX5 was designed to weigh 50% less than aerospace-grade aluminum, without loss of the strength, performance or environmental durability required in aerospace and defense applications.
Dr. Slade Gardner, Former Fellow at both Lockheed Martin Space Systems Advanced Technology Center and Skunk Works®, and Chief Technical Advisor To Alpine Advanced Materials
It’s great to see this special innovation that was purpose-built for Lockheed military programs become available for light-weighting programs across many industries. I can see broad application potential not only in commercial aerospace and rotorcraft but also in general transportation, energy and in the broader defense market.
Rob Weiss, Recently retired President of Skunk Works® and EVP of Lockheed Martin, and member of Alpine’s Board of Advisors
