The collaboration between Stellantis and Archer represents a successful union between eVTOL makers and automotive giants, propelling the future of electric aviation forward.
Archer, a prominent player in the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry, benefitted from Stellantis’ strategic partnership and investment. With Stellantis’ recent infusion of over $8 million, Archer gains significant support for the mass production of its Midnight aircraft.
Stellantis’ involvement extends beyond financial backing, with plans to facilitate the construction of Archer’s manufacturing facility in Covington, Georgia. Spanning 350,000 square feet initially and eventually expanding to 900,000 square feet, this facility aims to produce 2,000 electric aircraft annually.
Archer’s Midnight eVTOL, characterized by its four-seat configuration and sustainable design, holds immense market potential. With pre-orders from industry leaders like United Airlines and interest from the US Air Force, the Midnight promises to revolutionize urban air mobility.
Boasting a 20-mile range and a maximum speed of 150 mph, the Midnight combines high-performance propulsion with eco-friendly materials. As Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares visited Archer’s facility, it’s evident that this partnership will shape the future of electric aviation.
