ARCHER
17 April 2025
Archer (NYSE: ACHR) unveiled plans today for a proposed New York City air taxi network in partnership with United Airlines, aiming to transform how New York residents and visitors move around the region.
Archer’s goal is to enable passengers to travel from Manhattan to nearby airports in just 5-15 minutes using Midnight, dramatically reducing travel times compared to traditional ground transportation and helping avoid the city's notorious traffic.
Midnight is Archer’s piloted electric air taxi designed to carry up to four passengers while producing less noise and emissions than a traditional helicopter. Midnight is built with redundant systems across the aircraft—including 12 total engines and propellers—allowing Archer to target similar levels of safety as commercial airliners. Archer is building Midnight in America at manufacturing facilities in San Jose, CA and Covington, GA.
Archer will look to utilize existing aviation properties around the region, with a goal of establishing vertiports associated with airports and helipads in the area.
