ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XTI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq: XTIA) (“XTI” or the “Company”), an aerospace technology company focused on building and scaling a comprehensive unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platform for enterprise and government customers, today issued the following statement in response to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) recent action adding certain foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and critical components to the FCC Covered List.
