The third installment of the Electric VTOL News series, this video is an interview of the CEO of XTI Aircraft on the plans and progress of the 6-seat XTI TriFan 600 regional hybrid electric VTOL.

Although there is much work going on right now on fully-electric VTOL aircraft for the Uber Elevate mission and other intra-city applications, larger aircraft and longer distances will require hybrid-electric propulsion solutions in the foreseeable future.

One contender is XTI Aircraft Company, which is well advanced with its TriFan 600, a hybrid-electric VTOL-capable aircraft now expected to enter production in 2022, two years earlier than originally planned, according to XTI CEO Robert LaBelle.
