We study almost contact metric structures induced by 2-fold vector cross products on manifolds with $G_2$ structures. We get some results on possible classes of almost contact metric structures. Finally we give examples.

In this paper, we show the existence of (co-oriented) contact structures on certain classes of $G_2$-manifolds, and that these two structures are compatible in certain ways. Moreover, we prove that any seven-manifold with a spin structure…
