VTOL Corporate Transport
The TriFan 600 is a vertical take off transport aircraft currently being developed by XTI Aerospace.
The Trifan is designed as a best of both worlds VTOL aircraft, combining the versatility of a helicopter with the speed of a plane, with a focus on a primary use-case of corporate transit and light charter whilst also filling other roles such as Medical transport.
The most striking design feature of the TriFan is... well.. the powerplant.. Three Ducted Fans propelled by 2 Turboshaft engines operating on 100% sustainable aviation fuels - two of which pivot on a cross-shaft ahead of the wing allowing for variable direction of thrust, with a third located aft serving purely for VTOL operation.
The TriFan 600 has been presented at numerous airshows in multiple different scale model representations in addition to a functional 1/6 scale demonstrator performing tethered takeoff tests to demonstrate the functionality of it’s powertrain and design. XTI has received over 700 conditional pre-orders for the aircraft.
