Archer Aviation announced that its Midnight eVTOL air taxi has successfully completed a key flight test program as it builds upon four years of flight testing, including two years of full-scale flight testing with Maker.
The company is planning to spend the next 1.5 years further advancing their flight test program and Archer’s electric air taxi operations as they prepare to bring Midnight to market in 2025. Midnight features a 12 propeller design capable of propelling the eVTOL at speeds of up to 150 mph. On a full charge, it can achieve up to a 100 mile range.
