We have acted as counsel to XTI Aerospace, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its filing of (i) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-256827) (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), (ii) the base prospectus, dated as of June 17, 2021 (the “Base Prospectus”), included in the Registration Statement and (iii) the prospectus supplement, dated as of May 31, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus, as supplemented from time to time by one or more prospectus supplements, the “Prospectus”), filed with the Commission on May 31, 2024 by the Company, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Act.

The Prospectus relates to the public offering of an aggregate of $6,400,000 of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”).

We have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the Nevada Revised Statutes. We express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
