XTI Aircraft says it has received several additional orders and deposits from customers under its pre-sales program, launched at NBAA.

The company stated that the response at the show was very positive and generated additional financial and strategic relationships for the company. The six-seat TriFan 600 will have the speed, range and comfort of a luxury business aircraft and the ability to take off and land vertically, like a helicopter. It will travel at 345 miles an hour, with a range of up to 1,200 miles. Using three ducted fans, the TriFan lifts off vertically. Its two wing fans then rotate forward for a seamless transition to cruise speed and its initial climb. It will reportedly reach 30,000 feet in just ten minutes. MGL Avionics has announced the Vega Series of 2 1/4" Singles for Experimental and Light-Sport Aircraft. The Vega range consists of twelve 2 1/4" color display aviation instruments. Using a high-resolution backlit color graphics display, these instruments provide excellent daylight readability, even in direct sunlight. Each instrument includes a rotary control plus 2 independent keys for easy menu navigation and to access specific instrument features. We're not sure this is life imitating "art" ... or "art" imitating life, but this will strike a chord with anyone who watched the 1978 Thanksgiving episode of "WKRP in Cincinatti". At the annual Yellville Turkey Trot held in northern Arkansas recently, a low-flying plane dropped four turkeys over the festival-goers, who chased down the birds. But nearly everybody seems to know that there is something inherently wrong with the practice, which has reportedly been going on for five decades.
