The @FAANews + @USDOT’s new eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) is a watershed moment for our industry. Archer Founder & CEO @adamgoldstein13 and our Head of Government Relations @CaliAviator break down what the program means for Archer, the industry, communities across the country and the US's continued leadership in advanced aviation.

🇦🇪 Midnight has flown in the UAE We kicked off our UAE Launch Edition program today with a test flight in Abu Dhabi at Al Bateen Executive Airport. Our initial flight test operations in the UAE are focused on evaluating the aircraft's VTOL performance in UAE-specific conditions, including high temperature, humidity and dust exposure, to allow our team to validate readiness for commercial deployment. Thank you to the Senior Leaders from the @gcaauae, @InvestAbuDhabi, Integrated Transport Centre, @ADxAviation, @ad_airports and representatives from our regional partners for joining us to witness this milestone.

We’ve entered the next phase of our flight test program, showcasing piloted Midnight flight, as well as CTOL capabilities. The piloted flight featured a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) demonstrating the robustness of Midnight’s landing gear which is capable of performing both vertical and conventional take-off and landing operations. Through our design and certification process, our team, government regulators and our customers, both civil and defense, have identified the importance of being able to conduct both vertical and conventional take-off and landing as part of normal operation of the aircraft as having CTOL capabilities in addition to VTOL provides operational flexibility and enhanced safety. Watch the full flight as Midnight cruises at speeds of up to 125 mph and reaches a maximum altitude of over 1,500 feet above ground level with Archer Chief Test Pilot, Jeff Greenwood, at the controls.

California 🤝 Innovation California’s Alternative Energy And Advanced Transportation Financing Authority (@CAEATFA) just granted us an industry leading incentive award to support the ramp of our electric powertrain facility in the State. Congressman @ericswalwell shared his thoughts on the news: “I applaud Archer’s leadership to draw more cutting-edge businesses to California while creating more jobs for American workers. Archer's advanced electric powertrain solutions will help power the future of sustainable aviation. I look forward to seeing the next groundbreaking discoveries from them here in our State."
