Archer Aviation Inc. unveiled Midnight, its production eVTOL aircraft, during an open house event today in Palo Alto, California. The Midnight, designed to carry a pilot and four passengers, is an evolution of the company’s prototype model called Maker.
The company said the Midnight is designed to complete two short, consecutive flights of 20 sm or so followed by charging sessions of about 10 minutes. Archer said it is working with the FAA to certify the aircraft in late 2024 and use it as part of an urban air mobility network in plans to launch in 2025.
