Modell

Using three ducted fans, the TriFan 600 lifts off vertically and in seconds, the two wing fans rotate forward for a seamless transition to high-speed flight. Within just 90 seconds, the airplane reaches cruise speed – where the lift is provided by the wings just like every other fixed-wing airplane. The fuselage-mounted fan, no longer needed, closes up. The airplane flies directly to its destination and reverses the process. Landing vertically right where it needs to be – wherever there’s a clear helipad-sized paved surface.

XTI Aircraft

In 2013, Brody began designing a fixed-wing aircraft with ducted fans that pivot and provide the airplane with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability as well as forward propulsion from those same ducted fans. This led to the TriFan 600 vertical takeoff airplane and the formation of XTI Aircraft Company. With its eXtended Technology and Innovation, XTI is founded on a culture of customer-focused problem solving to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers, and promises to change flight and personal freedom and mobility by air travel forever. XTI Aircraft Company is a privately owned aviation business founded in 2012 to develop vertical takeoff airplanes. The business is guided by a leadership team with decades of aviation experience, a deep well of expertise, and proven success bringing new aircraft to market.

Together, this group of business aviation visionaries is reshaping the future of flight with the ultimate breakthrough in modern flight — a business jet that can takeoff and land vertically.
