XTI Aerospace cited steady progress on the development of its turbine-powered TriFan 600 vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft in a quarterly financial report released on Friday. However, the company still has not announced a targeted timeline for FAA type certification and service entry for the six-passenger TriFan 600, which has been in development since 2013. According to XTI, the TriFan 600 will combine the versatility of a helicopter with the speed and range of a business jet, cruising at 270 knots for up to 1,000 miles.

The Englewood, Colorado-based company closed the second quarter with $20 million in cash, nearly five times what it held six months earlier. This increase was primarily the result of a $16 million public offering the company completed in June and another $2.4 million it subsequently raised by exercising over-allotment options in July. Its operating expenses for the first half reached nearly $22 million, up from $8.2 million in the same period last year.
