TriFan 600 xVTOL | XTI Aerospace (original) (raw)
TriFan 600 — true point-to-point travel vertical takeoff & landing the best of a fixed-wing aircraft
TriFan 600 — true point-to-point travel
Two aircraft in one
The versatility of a helicopter and the speed and range of a business aircraft in one platform
Fast, convenient point-to-point ability
Save time over business jets, helicopters and airlines
Short take off and landing capability
From very short airstrips to increase payload and range
Vertical takeoff with the speed, range and comfort of a business aircraft
The TriFan 600 elegantly blends the best of a business jet and a helicopter into one revolutionary aircraft.
Ducted-Fan Advantage
Optimized ducted fans for enhanced thrust and lower noise
Vertical Lift Capability
Rear fan adds thrust and stability during VTOL operations
Proven, Certified Engines
Cut CO₂ emissions by 80% with the use of 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
‘Fly By Wire’ Controls
Flight control computer enhancements increase safety and reduce pilot workload
Pressurized Comfort
For a smooth ride above most weather
Excellent Visibility
Optimized windows augmented with cameras improve pilot’s situational awareness

Future-forward sustainability
By taking a phased approach to sustainability, we are able to leverage new technologies, regulatory guidance and infrastructure development as they continue to mature for hybrid electric and all-electric propulsion systems.
Turboshaft engines
The TriFan 600 will use certified engines that are 100% SAF compatible, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 80%
Hybrid power
In the future, integrated new propulsion technology will further reduce emissions
Zero emissions
In a future phase, we will continue to evaluate emerging green technologies for sustainable air travel
