Business Jet Meets VTOL: Why the Future of Air Travel Needs Both — and More

XTI Aerospace TriFan 600

XTI Aerospace made waves this week with the announcement that the FAA has accepted its type certification application for the TriFan 600 — a hybrid aircraft designed to combine the range of a business jet with the flexibility of a VTOL.

With a 600 nautical mile range and a 300-knot cruise speed, the TriFan 600 represents a major step forward for powered-lift aircraft. XTI’s development of the subscale "Sparrow" model will help validate key design elements ahead of full-scale production.

This kind of progress is exciting for the future of aviation.But at Hollocraft, we believe the future of everyday air travel must balance speed, practicality, and access — not just for business elites, but for everyone.

The Value of Powered-Lift — and Its Limits

Powered-lift technology, like that seen in the TriFan 600, unlocks an important piece of the mobility puzzle: vertical takeoff and landing without sacrificing range.

But these aircraft tend to be large, expensive, and optimized for long-distance business travel — not the daily, short-hop commutes that could actually take cars off the road and reshape cities.

At Hollocraft, our focus has always been different:Build smaller, smarter eVTOLs that integrate seamlessly into existing transportation ecosystems, without the infrastructure or operating costs of traditional aviation.

Because the real revolution isn't just in business jets that can hover — it's in commuter aircraft that everyone can trust, afford, and actually use.

Redefining What “Accessible” Really Means

XTI’s TriFan 600 is a milestone worth celebrating.It's proof that the FAA and the broader aviation world are taking new aircraft categories seriously.

At Hollocraft, we’re proud to be part of the same movement — but with a vision focused on shorter trips, smaller footprints, and broader reach.

Not just point-to-point for executives.But true air mobility for all.
