XTI (Booth C9020) has unveiled a new prospective hybrid electric design for its six seat, $6.5 million Trifan 600 VTOL aircraft that cuts gross weight and improves efficiency. The redesign cuts empty weight by 1,000 pounds from the original concept that featured only dual turboshaft engines thanks to the incorporation of electric generators in place of complex gearing for vertical flight.
