Raytheon Technologies' venture capital arm, RTX Ventures, is leading a group of investors backing the Florida-based company, which is looking to power several new eVTOL and eSTOL aircraft.
The 185 kW generator is being provided for the propulsion systems of several new electric aircraft being developed by Jaunt Air Mobility, XTI Aircraft, and Airflow.
Hybrid-electric propulsion specialist VerdeGo Aero is partnering with XTI Aircraft to create the TriFan 200, a smaller version of XTI’s currently-under-development TriFan 600 VTOL passenger aircraft.
