Archer Announces Unveiling of eVTOL Aircraft
June 03 2021 - 7:00AM
California-based Archer, a company designing and developing
electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL), today
announced plans to unveil its inaugural aircraft, Maker. The
unveiling of the company’s 2-seat demonstrator aircraft marks a
monumental milestone for Archer’s journey toward commercial
launch.
On June 10th, Archer will host an intimate event in Los Angeles,
in accordance with local COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions, to
showcase its aircraft. Due to state-mandated limitations on event
size, a livestream will also be available for a global audience of
viewers.
Archer’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) platform will move people
throughout cities in a fast, safe, sustainable, and cost-effective
manner. The fully electric aircraft, designed to be 100x quieter
than a helicopter, will travel distances of up to 60 miles at 150
mph using technology that is available today. Archer’s aircraft
will revolutionize the next era of travel and transform how people
approach everyday life, work, and adventure -- all while benefiting
the environment and working towards a zero-emissions future. Maker
is the result of extensive development by Archer’s world-class team
who collectively have over 200 years in eVTOL experience.
“Maker’s unveil brings us one step closer to making sustainable
travel more accessible and affordable for people living in the
world’s biggest, most congested cities,” said Archer co-founder and
co-CEO Brett Adcock. “Archer has seen a period of tremendous growth
and we are proud of what our team has already accomplished. We’re
excited to continue on our timeline toward a commercial launch and
move urban transportation networks into the skies.”
“At Archer, we are playing the long-game and investing in
better, more sustainable transportation for generations to come,”
said Archer co-founder and co-CEO Adam Goldstein. “Setting a date
for our supporters to see that mission materialize is a momentous
occasion, not just for our team, but for the future cities that
will benefit from a green transportation alternative. We are
grateful for the partners, collaboration, and trust that have led
us to this point, and we’re excited for what’s to come.”
Archer’s recently announced merger with Atlas Crest Investment
Corporation (NYSE: ACIC) and commercial order from United Airlines
values the company at $3.8 billion and puts Archer in prime
position to integrate UAM as part of cities’ future transportation
networks.
From a logistical standpoint, Archer’s definitive OEM agreement
with Stellantis, one of the biggest automotive manufacturers in the
world, grants the company access to the low-cost supply chain and
advanced composite material capabilities needed to produce
aircrafts at the scale to support the company’s future UAM
platform. In order to usher in the adoption of eVTOL and promote
sustainable travel, Archer has also partnered with the cities of
Los Angeles and Miami to begin development on UAM networks for city
travelers, with consumer flights slated for 2024.
