Archer Aviation began piloted tests of its Midnight aircraft, validating VTOL/CTOL capabilities, flight performance, and safety to support U.S. and UAE certification efforts.

In this program phase, Archer is testing Midnight's piloted conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) capabilities, which require increased robustness in landing gear design and related components.

Anduril UK, Archer, Skyports, and AtkinsRéalis unite to test dual-use eVTOL aircraft, advancing BVLOS operations and supporting UK civil and defence aviation growth.

Design approval secured for Abu Dhabi heliport, paving the way for Archer's commercial electric air taxi operations in the UAE.

Archer and Palantir plan to work in parallel to develop software for the next-gen of critical aviation systems, including air traffic control, movement control and route planning.

Archer’s 400,000 square foot aircraft manufacturing facility in Covington, GA, is set to produce 650 eVTOL aircraft annually by 2030, with Stellantis contributing expertise to scale clean mobility innovations.

Archer Aviation partners with UAE aviation leaders to launch the first commercial electric air taxi service in Abu Dhabi, aiming to establish the UAE as a hub for eVTOL innovation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

With its vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, proprietary electric powertrain and low noise profile, Archer's Midnight aircraft is well-suited for military aviation operations.

This collaboration lays the foundation for integrated electric air taxi networks that would support California airports and the surrounding communities that Southwest serves.

Archer Aviation Inc., a leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has announced that on June 8th its Midnight aircraft successfully completed transition flying at a speed of 100+ mph. Archer has now achieved transition with two different full-scale eVTOL aircraft.
