Vertical Takeoff & Landing (VTOL) capability for fixed-wing aircraft has been a dream for a hundred years
XTI’s innovative development of proven technologies creates a revolutionary configuration. The TriFan 600 is both elegant and highly functional. It is visually distinguished by a sleek exterior, and three ducted fans in place of large diameter helicopter rotors. The two ducted fans in the wings pivot to enable the aircraft to transition from hover to forward flight and back again for landing.
Our Cleantech design results in sweeping benefits - 40% lower CO2 emissions, 50% lower operating costs, and ~50% lower noise compared to similar aircraft or helicopters. And as batteries and hydrogen technologies evolve, we will be ready to incorporate the best solution to achieve our goal of ZERO EMISSIONS without compromising performance.
Lighter weight and greater design flexibility
No complex gear boxes or drive shafts
For ground power - no noise pollution, zero emissions, low ops cost
100% reliability, installed in hundreds of aircraft
Lightweight, fuel efficient; generators power electric motors
3 battery packs that provide supplemental power in vertical mode; recharged in flight
Reduced pilot workload and stability enhancement
Capacity | Pilot + 5 passengers |
Time To Max Altitude | ~11 minutes |
Flight Controls | Fly-by-wire |
VTOL Range (vertical takeoff and landing) |
670 nm (770 sm/1240 km) (helipad to helipad) 2x helicopter range |
CTOL Range (conventional takeoff and landing) |
1200 nm (1300 sm/2200 km) 3x helicopter range |
Max Cruise Speed | 300 knots (345 mph/555 kph) 2x helicopter speed |
Max Cruise Altitude | 29,000ft (above predominant weather) |
Vertical Lift | 3 ducted fans |
Propulsion | Hybrid Electric Drive initially - 40% lower CO2 emissions Transitioning to all-electric or hydrogen fuel cells - Zero Emissions |
On vertical takeoff, the TriFan 600 has a range of 670nm - that's 2x helicopter range, and 6x the range of most battery-only VTOL aircraft under development
If a conventional takeoff is used, the range is almost doubled to 1200nm
If a conventional takeoff is used, the range is almost doubled to 1200nm
