XTI Aerospace Celebrates Major Milestone with FAA for TriFan 600 Certification

XTI Aerospace Reaches Critical Landmark in FAA Certification for TriFan 600

XTI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq: XTIA), a leader in the development of advanced vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, recently announced the successful conclusion of a significant meeting with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This meeting focused on the structural aspects of the TriFan 600, a revolutionary aircraft that is set to redefine air travel by combining the functionality of a helicopter with the speed of a plane.

The meeting, termed a structures technical familiarization (Tech Fam), involved an extensive review of the TriFan 600's structural design, analysis methodologies, and compliance strategies. Engineering teams from both XTI and the FAA engaged in detailed discussions regarding design philosophies and the robust testing protocols that the aircraft will undergo to ensure safety and reliability.

David Ambrose, XTI's Vice President of Engineering, remarked, "Completion of this collaborative Tech Fam meeting with the FAA is a meaningful step to progress the TriFan 600 towards type certification, which is the FAA approval of the design of the aircraft and all component parts." This demonstrates XTI's commitment to a collaborative approach in its certification process, emphasizing transparency and cooperation with regulatory authorities.

The TriFan 600 is an innovative fixed-wing business aircraft designed to fulfill the VTOL capabilities typically associated with helicopters while achieving cruising speeds exceeding 300 mph and a range of up to 1,000 miles. This unique combination places the TriFan 600 in a category of its own—xVTOL—setting a new standard for business and personal aviation.

As XTI continues to advance through the certification process, the company is planning to hold more Tech Fam meetings with the FAA in various disciplines in the upcoming months. This ongoing dialogue is expected to further de-risk critical aspects of the aircraft's structural design, ensuring a streamlined path towards certification.

In parallel with its aircraft innovations, XTI also brings forth its Inpixon unit, specializing in real-time location systems that optimize operational efficiencies in various industries. This unit affirms XTI’s capability to leverage technology for improved safety and productivity in industrial settings.

Looking ahead, XTI Aerospace remains focused on its mission to revolutionize air travel. "We are not just building an aircraft; we’re setting the stage for the future of aviation," said Ambrose. With its pioneering developments, XTI is poised to make substantial contributions to the aerospace industry, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in flight technology.

The successful completion of this FAA review is a profound indicator of XTI's progress and dedication. As they navigate the complexities of aviation certification, XTI Aerospace aims to redefine the landscape of urban air mobility, making it an exciting time for both the company and its stakeholders.
