Objectives with Emerging Policy and Regulations
Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR), a leader in electric vertical
takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, today announced the
appointment of Dr. Michael Romanowski as Head of Government
Relations. In his role, Romanowski will collaborate with regulatory
authorities and industry to form a forward-leaning position on
policy, process and global certification expectations.
“My career has been dedicated to improving safety. The safe
advancement and implementation of emerging aerospace technologies
is one of the best ways to continue to improve safety and bring
lasting benefits to the American public,” said Dr. Michael
Romanowski. “Archer’s dedication to safety and focus on
collaboration with industry and federal agencies alike is a clear
signal of their commitment to making eVTOL travel a reality.”
Romanowski joins Archer after more than 14 years at the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), where he served most recently as
Aircraft Certification Director of Policy and Innovation, and as
the Director of NextGen Integration & Implementation and
Commercial Space Integration. In addition, Romanowski served as the
Aviation and Aeronautics Advisor to the Chief Technology Officer of
the United States and as the Executive Director of the National

Following the recent close of the Preliminary Design Review

its path towards commercialization by focusing on the regulatory
framework necessary to bring eVTOL aircraft to market. Romanowski’s
appointment is key to continued collaboration with industry and
regulatory organizations developing consensus positions on the
technology’s implementation.
