💨 FAA Downwash Testing with Midnight 💨

Midnight recently completed a downwash testing campaign with the Federal Aviation Administration that included a series of six flights in four days. The campaign will provide the FAA with valuable data about the impact of our aircraft’s downwash/outwash footprint when taking off and landing at helipads across the country - an important step in unlocking access to additional aviation infrastructure that will further support the ramp up of our commercial operations. 

DESIGN AS A DIFFERENTIATOR | "At Archer, the design approach had to be different. We are calling it “Transformative Design” which means designing a product that will positively impact humanity as a whole. So we aren’t just building an aircraft, we’re creating an entire infrastructure that enables you to live a certain way. We are designing the whole journey from the first mile to the last mile, from the aircraft to landing infrastructures to the accompanying digital app. We are calling this ecosystem the ‘Archer world’. This is the future of movement and as a designer I’ve become a part of that change." - Julien Montousse, Archer VP of Design & Innovation

There’s no one more deserving to be named to the 2024 eVTOL Insights Powerbook than our Chief People & Partnerships Officer, Tosha Perkins, Ph.D.! Tosha’s not only made a massive impact at Archer…she’s helped shape the entire eVTOL industry as a whole:

1. Archer's success over the years is due entirely to the incredible team of people who work here. Tosha has led the build-out of our team from the beginning with the innovative recruiting program she's created with her team which has helped us scale Archer's organization without ever sacrificing the quality of talent we bring in.

2. Tosha and her team have led the way in attracting new talent to the eVTOL industry from top-tier companies like Tesla, Apple, Uber, Rivian, Lucid and so many more. Doing so is critical for the long-term success of Archer and our industry, and no one has done it better, or at a higher clip, than her. 

3. Tosha sets the tone for our organization and, importantly, our culture. She's the embodiment of the type of person we want working at Archer and the embodiment of the type of collaborator we aim to be for our partners - positive, hard-working, solutions-oriented, inclusive, and innovative. When you have someone like her leading the way, you're bound to attract people and partners with similar traits. 

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, Tosha! https://lnkd.in/gfdNEwqn

Archer is happy to be participating in LAX’s formal request for industry input on electric air taxi operations and is encouraged by the growing interest in electric air taxi's that local leaders across the Southern California market continue to show. 

We look forward to building on our partnerships with United Airlines  and Atlantic Aviation to establish sites for electric aircraft operations in the vibrant community of Los Angeles and beyond.

Here are 3️⃣ key takeaways from our partnership announcement with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration which we celebrated by ringing the NYSE opening bell: 

🦺 Safety. Safety. Safety - Safety is the guiding principle of this partnership and this first project together will focus on ensuring the highest levels of safety and performance for battery systems that we'll use to enable the electrification of aviation at scale.

👩‍🚀 Space Act Agreement - Archer and NASA have already been working together, but today's Space Act Agreement announcement sets the table to expand our work together collaborating on battery technology as well as other mission-critical eVTOL aircraft technologies.
 
💪 Leadership - Our collaboration under the NASA Space Act Agreement is focused on ensuring the U.S. leads the world in the next generation of air transportation.
