The committee will advise on the development of systems and features intended to improve operations and other ideas to support Archer’s future airline operations and further the widespread adoption of UAM.

The ACMA, Archer Aviation, TPI Composites and Cobra International welcome new hires to their teams. 

Archer to provide data from upcoming flight tests to further the USAF’s understanding of its eVTOL capabilities, systems and development progression.

This month’s roundup includes new personnel announcements made by Archer Aviation, ORNL and Bye Aerospace.

The FAA’s approval enables Archer to move toward its goal of obtaining an FAA Type Certification for its composite all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

Full transition to full wing-borne flight takes place less than a year after the eVTOL’s first hover flight, the culmination of several months of intensive design, simulation and wind tunnel testing.

Six months after unveiling its composites-intensive Maker eVTOL aircraft, Archer has achieved both FAA airworthiness certification and its first successful hover flight, with a broadening flight testing campaign coming soon.

Certification clears Archer to begin hover flight testing of its Maker aircraft, serving as a key enabler for the company’s mission to launch its first commercial eVTOL flights in 2024.

Archer Aviation’s intentional strategies have yielded a simpler and more focused scope of certification work, paving the way for the start of its first “for credit” testing by early 2024.

Proposed commercial route will connect Newark Liberty International Airport to Downtown Manhattan Heliport using the all-electric Midnight aircraft.
