Over the past few years, XTI has worked with the FAA's Center for Emerging Concepts & Innovation division (AIR-650) to provide input toward the development of the draft Advisory Circular 21.17-4 "Type Certification - Powered-lift," which guides the TriFan 600's certification process. The Gen Fam meeting served to provide the FAA with a detailed overview of the TriFan 600's innovative and advanced design, systems, performance parameters, and vertical lift capabilities. During the presentation, XTI also covered a range of technical areas, including the TriFan 600's safety features and its novel ducted fan propulsion technology.
The TriFan 600 represents a new generation of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, seamlessly combining the capabilities of taking off and landing like a helicopter with flying as efficiently as a fixed-wing airplane. This new category of aircraft, the vertical lift crossover airplane ("VLCA"), represents a transformative solution for a variety of applications, including advanced air mobility, regional transportation, emergency medical services (EMS), and corporate travel.
Scott Pomeroy, CEO of XTI, expressed his enthusiasm for reaching this milestone, stating, "Completion of the Gen Fam presentation is a significant step forward for the TriFan 600 and our vision for transforming air travel. We're honored to collaborate closely with the FAA as we work to advance the TriFan 600 toward our Type Certification goal."
Don Purdy, SVP of Business & Program Development, added, "The Gen Fam meeting provided us with an excellent opportunity to demonstrate to the FAA how the TriFan 600 will address the critical commodity of 'time.' We believe that the TriFan will offer our customers the ability to enjoy efficient point-to-point travel, enhance business speed, and be a transformative solution for a variety of applications, including advanced air mobility, regional transportation, and emergency medical services."
