Archer is an advanced aviation platform developing electric and hybrid-electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft for commercial air taxi operations and defense applications. The company's primary product, the Midnight eVTOL aircraft, is designed to carry four passengers plus a pilot on short-distance urban routes using distributed electric propulsion, redundant safety systems, and significantly reduced noise compared to helicopters. Archer generates revenue through the sale of commercial and defense aircraft along with related technologies and services, direct-to-consumer air taxi operations in select cities, and partnerships with defense contractors to power next-generation autonomous vehicles; the company manufactures aircraft at facilities in Silicon Valley and Georgia while focusing internal development on proprietary electric and hybrid propulsion systems, flight control software, and composites.
