• Syensqo’s composite, adhesive and specialty polymer solutions contribute to next-generation vertical lift aircraft, enhancing speed, range and survivability

Alpharetta, GA, July 16, 2026 – Syensqo, a leading global provider of advanced materials, today announced its involvement in the U.S. Army’s MV-75 Cheyenne program, providing advanced composite materials, adhesives and specialty polymers for critical structural and rotorcraft components. These high-performance solutions are engineered to meet demanding requirements for lightweighting, durability, and thermal resistance in next-generation vertical lift platforms.

The MV-75 Cheyenne platform, being developed by Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, is designed to deliver approximately twice the speed and range of current platforms, enhancing operational reach and survivability. “MV-75 Cheyenne represents a transformational leap in vertical lift capability, combining speed, range and reliability to meet the evolving needs of modern armed forces,” said Ryan Ehinger, Senior Vice President and MV-75 Cheyenne Program Director. “We are pleased for Syensqo to join Team Cheyenne as we deliver high-performing defense systems with the resilience and survivability the Army needs.”

“We are proud to support the US Army’s MV-75 Cheyenne program with our advanced materials portfolio, contributing to the development of a new generation of high-performance rotorcraft,” said Rodrigo Elizondo, President Syensqo Composite Materials. “Our expertise in lightweight composites and adhesives enables greater efficiency, durability and design flexibility—key enablers for next-generation aerospace innovation.”

The MV-75 Cheyenne platform is a cornerstone of the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift initiative. Designed to fly twice as fast as the current fleet and deliver extended operational range, it marks a significant advancement in rotorcraft technology and mission capability.

Syensqo will continue to collaborate closely with Bell and industry teammates across Team Cheyenne to support the MV-75 Cheyenne’s development, qualification and future production phases, reinforcing Syensqo’s commitment to advancing aerospace performance through materials innovation.
