X-BAT is putting down roots in two of America’s strongest aerospace regions.
X-Forge 2 in Newton, Kansas, will be X-BAT’s flight test and sustainment home. X-Forge 3 in Des Moines, WA will be our first production site in the Puget Sound region, with plans to expand our footprint there as X-BAT production grows.
