Dark Horse
Dark Horse is Hardpoint Dynamics' clean-sheet advanced jet trainer for the U.S. Navy's Undergraduate Jet Training System. We didn't re-skin an old airframe and call it new. We started from the mission and built outward, integrating airframe, propulsion, and training systems into one design from day one. Its job is to turn out the next generation of Navy and Marine strike fighter pilots, and to do it at a price the fleet can afford. More capability for less money, built for how the Navy trains today and however it chooses to train tomorrow. That is what the fleet deserves.
Clean-sheet design built for the UJTS mission, not a recycled platform dressed up as one
Full carrier capable from delivery, keeping every training option open for the fleet
Purpose-built to train the Navy and Marine Corps' next generation of strike fighter pilots
More capability and an affordable price, with no compromises for either
Built and led by a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business with OEM-level engineering depth
One integrated system across airframe, propulsion, and embedded training
Engineered to stay affordable across the full training lifecycle, not just on day one
