Today, we signed definitive agreements to acquire Wisk, SkyGrid, and Insitu from The Boeing Company, with Boeing taking a stake in Archer and becoming a strategic partner. We anticipate closing the transaction by year end. Wisk will accelerate our Halo/Thunder dual-use aircraft platform. Deploying nascent tech early in defense benefits our entire business. Wisk has some of the most advanced autonomy, flight controls, and sensor technologies in the industry. We plan to deploy that technology on Halo first, so that we can harden it and then bring it back to the air taxi platform when the FAA is ready to certify autonomy for passenger air taxis. Insitu is an incredibly trusted and reputable intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drone manufacturer. They operate a profitable business with over $200M in annual revenue across 35 countries and they’ve manufactured 4,000 Group 2 & 3 UAS to date. For us that means an immediate revenue base to grow plus data from 2M autonomous flight hours. SkyGrid is complementary to ZEE, our new foundation AI model for aviation that we recently announced. SkyGrid has been in use as next-generation airspace management solutions since 2018 and we believe that when combined with Zee it can become a “must have” air traffic management product that helps modernize airspaces around the world. This transaction will help accelerate our evolution into becoming a diversified aerospace and defense platform. After closing, our product portfolio will span piloted air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in Groups 2 through 5, purpose-built AI for aviation, and the vertical technology stack for autonomous flight.

eIPP Preparation Continues ✈️ Midnight recently completed a piloted roundtrip journey between Salinas Municipal Airport and Monterey Regional Airport as we prepare to begin operations later this year under the White House’s eIPP. Each leg of the roundtrip journey was completed in ~9 minutes, a fraction of the ~35+ minutes the same trip can take by car, and was flown in close coordination with the The FAA ✈️. More details:

Expanding our planned LA network: we're partnering with AEG to develop a vertiport at L.A. LIVE in the heart of downtown LA adding one of the city’s biggest sports and entertainment destinations to our planned air taxi network. Think less time in transit. More time at the game, show or concert. And a whole new way to move around LA in the future with our electric air taxis. Archer is now L.A. LIVE's exclusive air taxi partner. We’ll have Midnight on display today and tomorrow at L.A. LIVE to celebrate.

Staff Flight Test Engineer Simon Hedderman takes us inside the Archer telemetry trailer, the data center behind our flight test operations. While the pilot operates the aircraft, our team monitors from the telemetry trailer, gathering holistic aircraft data like engine temperatures, airspeed, and battery levels. Each part of the aircraft is represented, with members from the battery, engine, propellor, flight control systems, guidance navigation & controls, and flight test instrumentation teams gathering data and monitoring real-time performance during flight. This test data helps to validate aircraft performance across mission profiles, supporting safe flights and preparing us for public operations.

Midnight is designed to be capable of taking off and landing conventionally (CTOL) or vertically (VTOL) to serve the full spectrum of flight operations and safety standards. This dual-mode capability gives it the flexibility to operate safely across a wide range of infrastructure, from traditional airports and runways to urban vertiports and constrained landing zones.

Silence is g̶o̶l̶d̶e̶n̶ electric. A look back at Midnight's highly-anticipated flights at the Salinas Airshow this weekend showcasing smooth, quiet and thrilling electric flight. Despite reaching speeds upwards of 125 MPH, the lack of noise coming from Midnight was the highlight of the experience for the tens of thousands of onlookers.

Midnight’s controls are innovative and simple, using two side sticks to control altitude, speed, and direction during flight. Think of it like manual vs automatic in cars. Because Midnight is fly-by-wire, software translates the pilot's movements with the sticks to automatically transition between flight modes, smoothly speed up or slow down, and hold the aircraft's position, airspeed, and direction. This allows pilots to focus more on the flight, not the mechanics of commanding several different control surfaces all at once.
