XTI Completes Federal Aviation Administration Flight Technical Familiarization Review

Engineering experts from XTI Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of XTI, met with 17 FAA representatives located across the country to review the TriFan 600's system design approach, and expected flight performance. The Tech Fam addressed key FAA certification areas:

• Conventional Take Off and Landing (CTOL) and VTOL climb and landing performance
• Payload / range performance
• Max range / max cruise performance
• Weight and balance; center of gravity envelope
• Ceiling altitude
• Stall speed characteristics
• Flight control architecture
• Hover Out of Ground Effect (HOGE)

"The FAA released the new Advisory Circular 21-17-4 "Type Certification of Powered-Lift under 14 CFR 21.17(b)" on July 18, 2025," said David Ambrose, XTI's Vice President of Engineering.  "We had been working with draft versions of the Advisory Circular in preparation for this critical Tech Fam meeting as we continue to refine our TriFan 600 aircraft design as we work towards FAA certification of the TriFan 600 under the "Powered Lift" aircraft category.  We appreciate the collaborative involvement of the FAA as we further develop our systems, subsystems and structural design and together focus on delivery of an exciting aircraft that we believe will transform point to point regional air travel."
