XTI Continues to Hone Its Customer-Centric Focus in Partnership With IDEO
Gains Key Customer Insights for its Mid-Range xVTOL Aircraft
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- XTI Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of XTI Aerospace, Inc. (NASDAQ:XTIA) ("XTI"), a pioneer in xVTOL and powered-lift aircraft solutions, today announced the successful completion of an updated customer segmentation analysis with IDEO, one of the world's leading design and innovation firms. The effort provided critical updates into customer segmentation for the TriFan 600, XTI's revolutionary fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft.
IDEO conducted in-depth research across key aviation markets, including ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, corporate flight departments and fractional operators, among others. The findings helped XTI continue to clarify which customer segments are best positioned for the TriFan 600 and refine both short-term and long-term market opportunities.
"Working with IDEO has been invaluable in helping us sharpen our understanding of the growing market for the TriFan 600," said Scott Pomeroy, Chief Executive Officer of XTI Aerospace. "Their expertise and process allows us to continue to listen to potential customers, refine and uncover new missional applications for a regional, and validate where our aircraft offers the greatest value."
Heather Boesch, Partner at IDEO, added: "XTI is building an aircraft that represents a generational shift in aviation. Through our work together, we've been able to further map the customer landscape and surface insights that will guide not just product adoption but also brand and market strategy. We are excited to see how XTI will apply these learnings in development of the TriFan 600. In the next phase of our partnership, we will build upon these learnings by diving deeper into international and B2B markets, and work together to elevate the public's collective understanding of regional VTOL. XTI's work is making a new mode of transit possible for the first time, and we hope to inform and inspire people about the possibilities it enables for human mobility."
