Archer’s Post

TRANSITION FLIGHT | Midnight has completed transition flight at a speed of 100+ MPH – taking off vertically, accelerating until it transitions from thrust-borne to wing-borne flight, cruising on the wing and then landing again vertically. Here are the key highlights from this milestone: ✈️ At ~6,500 lbs, Midnight is believed to be one of the largest eVTOL aircraft to complete transition, which is critical to being able to carry commercially viable passenger payloads 2️⃣ Archer has now achieved transition with two different full-scale eVTOL aircraft which is well known in the industry as a very difficult milestone few companies have reached 💨 Midnight’s flight test program will now continue its progress with plans to fly simulated commercial routes to demonstrate the aircraft’s operational readiness, executing high-rate flight operations, testing additional flight maneuvers that will be used in commercial settings along with continuing to expand its speed and endurance flight envelope Watch the full, uncut video of the flight here: https://lnkd.in/gUVWu2QQ Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g7PjbkHQ

Another step closer to bringing air taxis to NYC ⚡ Congrats to our partner Atlantic Aviation on today's announcement extending their agreement with NYCEDC and the City of New York for operations at the East 34th Street Heliport as they prepare to kick off a project to install charging stations at the heliport to support electric air taxi operations. The project is expected to be completed in time to align with early air taxi entry into service dates.
