Austin-based Valkyrie Sciences\u2014which has a Dallas office located in The Crescent\u2014has snagged a $2 million investment from Englewood, Colorado\u2019s XTI Aerospace. The funding coincides with the two companies\u2019 launch of the Vanguard Platform, an intelligent technology system for the next generation of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the partnership, Valkyrie will apply its experience with graphene and composite materials, battery technology, and smart systems architecture to XTI\u2019s Tri Fan 600 VTOL aircraft program. The alliance between the companies also includes a services agreement between XTI and Valkyrie Intelligence.<\/p>\n

Valkyrie Founder and CEO Charlie Burgoyne is on XTI\u2019s Corporate Advisory Board, a role announced in July that further cements the relationship. Burgoyne has served as the applied sciences advisor to several military and intelligence commands, XTI noted, and has worked with LANL, DOE, DARPA, NASA, CENTCOM, SOCOM, and other organizations.<\/p>\n

Burgoyne said the Vanguard Platform, combining Valkyrie\u2019s applied AI tech for aerospace and XTI\u2019s VTOL engineering, \u201cis designed to streamline aircraft development.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCentral to this vision is Valkyrie\u2019s work to develop the Vanguard chassis, which integrates Valkyrie\u2019s distributed mesh intelligence\u2014a networked, onboard computing framework intended to enable real-time coordination across aircraft systems,\u201d the Valkyrie leader added in a statement. \u201cProduction methods and engineering processes will emphasize lean, data-driven development across both teams and opportunities for integrating intelligent systems directly into aerospace hardware.\u201d<\/p>\n

Applied AI as \u2018one of the most significant differentiators\u2019<\/p>\n

XTI said Valkyrie\u2019s experience in mesh intelligence, its development of digital-twin systems for Fortune 100 companies, and its support for racing operations provides a foundation of capabilities for leveraging the Vanguard Platform to advance capabilities of the XTI TriFan 600 aircraft.<\/p>\n

XTI CEO Scott Pomeroy said the alliance \u201csupports our technology-first objectives at the leading edge of emerging aerospace technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cApplied AI will be one of the most significant differentiators in this next era of aerospace and defense,\u201d Pomeroy added in a statement. \u201cValkyrie\u2019s expertise will assist us in accelerating opportunities across our portfolio, from vertical flight to unmanned systems and beyond; we believe this is a first-of-its-kind approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
