XTI Aerospace Inc today announced that its subsidiary, XTI Aircraft Company submitted a patent application (non-provisional) with the U.S. Patent and Trade Office and filed notice with the 157 countries participating in the Patent Cooperation Treaty for innovations related to the TriFan 600, XTI Aircraft’s fixed-wing, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft currently in development. XTI Aircraft previously announced on February 12, 2024 that the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) issued XTI Aircraft a new utility patent, also related to the TriFan 600.
“The new patent applications and the previously-granted China patent relate to various technical or functional aspects of the TriFan 600 including the pivoting ducted fans that rotate between vertical lift and horizontal thrust, which, in turn, are designed to enable the TriFan 600 to efficiently transition from vertical takeoff to forward cruise,” said the company in a press statement.
A computer graphics simulation video of the TriFan 600 is available at XTI Aircraft simulation video.
