Archer Aviation Inc.

Archer Aviation Inc. is a California-based aerospace company developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed to revolutionize urban air mobility. Founded in 2018, the company focuses on designing, developing, and certifying zero-emissions air taxis to reduce traffic congestion in densely populated metropolitan areas. Its flagship production aircraft, Midnight, is a piloted four-passenger vehicle engineered to travel at speeds up to 150 miles per hour with a maximum range of 100 miles per charge, optimized for short-haul trips around 20 miles between airports and downtown city centers. Archer has secured major partnerships with United Airlines, which ordered 200 aircraft, and Stellantis, which serves as its exclusive contract manufacturer. The company holds Part 135 Air Carrier certification and Part 141 pilot training certification from the Federal Aviation Administration, positioning it to launch commercial air taxi services. Archer's operations span multiple continents, with recent test flights in Abu Dhabi and planned expansion into the United Arab Emirates through partnerships with regional aviation operators.
