"I have been passionate about aviation and innovation for as long as I can remember," said Tobin Arthur, Chief Strategy Officer of XTI. "I believe what makes XTI unique is its position to lead a significant shift in aviation by combining the range and speed of business aircraft with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities. Innovation is at the heart of XTI and the TriFan 600, from its take-off and landing technology to its interior design, safety features, and how XTI seamlessly integrates with vendor partners. I believe that XTI has immense potential to revolutionize commercial, military, and medical aviation."
