XTI Aerospace expects Trump Executive Order to accelerate VTOL development for commercial and military applications
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Commending President Trump’s recent Executive Order aimed at accelerating domestic drone production and strengthening U.S. leadership in advanced air mobility, XTI Aerospace (NASDAQ: XTIA) is issuing the following statement reinforcing the critical role of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) technology to meet national security priorities and a rapidly evolving commercial market.
“The Executive Order recognizes what many of us in the aerospace industry see clearly every day: the future of air mobility — both civilian and defense — depends on agility and vertical, runway-independent capability,” said Scott Pomeroy, Chairman and CEO of XTI Aerospace. “VTOL aircraft are not only central to next-generation UAS (drone) platforms and urban air mobility applications but also air medical, disaster response, military, cargo logistics, and emergency preparedness.”
XTI Aerospace, developer of the TriFan 600 — a VTOL airplane capable of a range of nearly 1,000 miles at speeds over 300 mph — is uniquely positioned to serve a diverse range of emerging military, commercial, private, and strategic public-sector mission-specific and purpose-driven initiatives. The TriFan 600 is designed to operate using existing infrastructure and without dependence on charging systems, a key differentiator and accelerator to market.
XTI Aerospace is a leader in xVTOL and the Vertical Economy and is pursuing strategic initiatives across manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS / drone) that build off, and or complement, its flagship TriFan platform. Notably, the Executive Order directs the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), to expand the pilot program to other advanced aviation aircraft as warranted. XTI Aerospace believes this language reflects the federal government’s intent to create space for xVTOL platforms like the TriFan 600.
