Overview
Archer Aviation is an American company founded in 2018 that is developing Midnight, a battery-electric aircraft designed to take off vertically and carry a pilot and four passengers on short urban routes. Its argument is that helicopter travel has always been too loud, too expensive and too unsafe for routine city use, and that electric propulsion with distributed rotors changes all three. Headquartered in San Jose and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it is working through Federal Aviation Administration certification while building a manufacturing plant in Georgia with Stellantis as its production partner.

Products
Air Taxi Networks
Route and infrastructure partnerships with airlines and city operators, including launch plans in the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Landing infrastructure and air traffic integration are as much of the problem as the aircraft itself.
archer.com
Defense Programmes
Hybrid and autonomous aircraft variants developed for defence customers through a partnership with Anduril. Defence work provides revenue and accumulated flight hours well before commercial certification completes, which matters for a company burning cash against a regulatory timetable.
archer.com
Manufacturing Operations
The production facility in Covington, Georgia built with Stellantis as manufacturing partner. Bringing automotive production discipline to aircraft assembly is the company's answer to the cost problem that has always limited rotorcraft.
archer.com
Type Certification Programme
The multi-year process of proving the aircraft meets Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness requirements. Certification rather than engineering is the real gate on the business, and its timing has repeatedly moved for the whole industry.
archer.com
Midnight
A piloted electric vertical takeoff aircraft carrying four passengers on trips of around twenty to fifty miles. Its twelve rotors provide redundancy that a single main rotor cannot, which is central to the safety case being made to regulators.
