“Once complete, we’ll focus on ramping production up to 650 aircraft a year – our goal is to be the first in the eVTOL [electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft] industry to achieve scaled manufacturing.”  

Upon completion, this facility will span close to 400,000ft².

In anticipation of the operational start of the plant, Archer recently presented its Midnight aircraft at Atlantic Aviation’s new terminal at DeKalb-Peachtree Municipal Airport.  

The Midnight aircraft features an electric powertrain developed by Archer and aims to provide a more sustainable, quieter, and secure mode of travel compared to traditional ground transportation.  

Capable of reaching speeds up to 150mph, Midnight has the potential to reduce ground travel times from hours to mere minutes.
