Insights
XTI's selection of Garmin's advanced G700 TXi avionics represents crucial technological progress for their innovative TriFan 600 xVTOL program.
XTI Aerospace's selection of the Garmin G700 TXi avionics system for the TriFan 600 marks a critical systems integration milestone in their aircraft development program. This isn't merely an equipment selection—it's a strategic decision that addresses multiple technical challenges unique to xVTOL aircraft.
The G700 TXi's dual large-format displays with Synthetic Vision Technology are particularly well-suited for the TriFan 600's complex flight profile. During the critical transition phase from vertical to horizontal flight, pilots need exceptional situational awareness—precisely what this system delivers. The avionics' open architecture for FADEC integration is equally significant, as it will enable the sophisticated engine management required for the aircraft's twin turboshaft propulsion system.
From a certification standpoint, selecting an established avionics provider like Garmin represents a de-risking strategy for XTI's 2027 developmental flight test timeline. The G700 TXi already has significant flight hours and certification basis across multiple platforms, which should streamline the FAA approval process compared to a proprietary system.
The chosen system's advanced autopilot with envelope protection and emergency descent mode addresses critical safety requirements for xVTOL operations, especially when operating from non-traditional landing sites mentioned in the release. These features will be essential for achieving the safety levels required for FAA certification in what remains a pioneering aircraft category.
Advanced Avionics for a Next-Generation Regional xVTOL Aircraft
The selection marks a significant milestone for the TriFan 600 program, delivering unmatched situational awareness, enhanced flight safety, and future-ready cockpit technology to XTI's aircraft platform.
The Garmin G700 TXi system — designed for cutting-edge business aviation — features:
- Dual large-format PFDs and MFDs with touchscreen interfaces and intuitive pilot control
- Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) for enhanced terrain and obstacle awareness
- Advanced flight management capabilities
- Dynamic maps and charts
- Satellite weather
- Smart autopilot integration with envelope protection and emergency descent mode
- Seamless interface with Garmin weather radar, data links, ADS-B, and other optional equipment and services
- Open architecture to integrate with the FADECs of the two turboshaft engines
"This avionics suite is a fantastic match for the TriFan 600," said Don Purdy, SVP and Interim President of XTI Aircraft. "Garmin's G700 TXi offers the reliability, innovation, and pilot features to efficiently and safely operate the transformational xVTOL aircraft – operating from traditional runways, short runways, heliports and other approved landing areas."
Pioneering the Future of Air Mobility
The TriFan 600 is a fixed-wing aircraft with vertical lift capability, designed to combine the speed, range, and comfort of a business jet with the flexibility of a helicopter. Powered by efficient twin turbo-shaft engines, it takes off and lands vertically using three ducted fans, then transitions to forward flight using the large forward fans for fast, far regional missions.
With the inclusion of the Garmin G700 XTi flight deck, the aircraft will offer pilots outstanding navigation, communication, surveillance, situational awareness and aircraft monitoring during every phase of flight.
Industry Confidence & Certification Progress
This avionics announcement further aligns with XTI's robust progress toward FAA certification, with developmental flight tests scheduled for 2027. The TriFan 600 program continues to garner significant interest across business aviation, emergency medical transport, and regional air mobility sectors.
XTI's selection of Garmin also reaffirms a shared commitment to flight safety, scalability, and transformative technology.
