Vanguard is a new AI-driven technology platform developed by XTI Aerospace and Valkyrie Sciences to enhance performance and autonomy in the TriFan 600 VTOL aircraft.

XTI Aerospace has joined forces with Valkyrie Sciences to launch Vanguard, an intelligent technology solution aimed at accelerating the evolution of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft such as XTI’s TriFan 600.

The collaboration bridges XTI’s hybrid-electric aircraft program with Valkyrie’s expertise in AI, advanced materials, and energy systems, laying the groundwork for smarter, more efficient, and more capable VTOL operations.

At the core of Vanguard is a fusion of AI-enabled architecture, graphene-based composites, and battery innovations — a combination built to enhance the TriFan 600’s efficiency, autonomy, and structural performance.
