XTI Aerospace completes FAA propulsion system review for TriFan 600

XTI Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ: XTIA) completed a propulsion technical familiarization meeting with the Federal Aviation Administration as part of its certification process for the TriFan 600 aircraft, the company announced Tuesday.

Engineering experts from XTI Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of XTI, and the FAA reviewed the TriFan 600's propulsion system and compliance approach. The review covered engines, drive train, fuel system, propellers, engine compartments and structural mounts for the drive train.

The technical familiarization meeting addressed certification areas including engine fire containment, bird strike impact, cabin occupant safety, fuel management, and instrumentation with sensors to detect system issues.

"FAA dialog during the Tech Fam meetings provides helpful insight regarding our approach to systems and structural design to support eventual certification," said David Ambrose, XTI's Vice President of Engineering.

The TriFan 600 is a vertical takeoff and landing airplane that XTI is developing. The company describes it as a fixed-wing business aircraft designed to have helicopter-like vertical takeoff and landing capability, with maximum cruising speeds over 300 mph and a range up to 1,000 miles.

XTI Aerospace is based near Denver, Colorado. The company also operates the Inpixon business unit, which provides real-time location systems technology to industrial customers.
