About Archer Aviation Inc.

Archer Aviation Inc. is a U.S.-based advanced air mobility company listed on the NYSE under the ticker ACHR (United States). Its core business is the design, certification, and commercialization of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs), with Midnight as its flagship platform. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Archer is positioned at the intersection of aerospace, urban transport, and clean technology. The company’s long-term ambition is to make short-range urban air travel commercially viable, first through pilot markets and then through broader rollout as regulatory and operational infrastructure matures.

The company is building future revenue streams around passenger eVTOL operations, network partnerships with airlines and city stakeholders, and adjacent applications such as electric propulsion systems and, more recently, select defense and dual-use opportunities. Management continues to focus on industrializing Midnight, progressing FAA type certification, building out vertiport and operating infrastructure, and coordinating early route and fleet deployment with strategic partners.

Its differentiation rests on a vertically integrated approach, industrial support from Stellantis, an established regulatory and commercial focus in the United States, and a growing ecosystem of high-profile aviation and transportation partners. In 2025-2026, Archer highlighted meaningful certification progress, including becoming the first eVTOL company to close Phase 3 of the FAA’s four-phase type certification process.

Archer reported a 55-mile piloted Midnight flight in August 2025, continued scaling its manufacturing ramp, and expanded its strategic footprint through commercial and institutional partnerships. Key announcements included the Launch Edition commercialization program with Abu Dhabi Aviation, selection as the official air taxi provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and participation in the White House-backed eVTOL Integration Pilot Program through partners in Texas, Florida, and New York. These developments strengthen Archer’s strategic narrative, although the company remains highly dependent on certification timing, manufacturing execution, and eventual customer adoption of urban air mobility.
