ENGLEWOOD, Colo., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- XTI Aerospace, Inc. (NASDAQ:XTIA) ("XTI"), a pioneer in xVTOL and powered-lift aircraft solutions, today announced the completion of a propulsion technical familiarization ("Tech Fam") meeting with the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), another completed step forward in XTI's path to certification of the TriFan 600. The TriFan 600 is XTI's vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) airplane.
Engineering experts from XTI Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of XTI, and the FAA reviewed the TriFan 600 aircraft's propulsion system and compliance approach for the engines, drive train, fuel system, propellers, engine compartments and structural mounts for the drive train. The Tech Fam addressed key certification areas such as engine fire containment, bird strike impact, cabin occupant safety, fuel management, and instrumentation including sensors to detect system issues.
"As XTI completes this latest Tech Fam meeting with the FAA, the engineering team continues its collaborative approach to type certification of the TriFan 600," said David Ambrose, XTI's Vice President of Engineering. "FAA dialog during the Tech Fam meetings provides helpful insight regarding our approach to systems and structural design to support eventual certification – this open and transparent approach underscores our paramount goal of producing a safe and reliable aircraft."
