🇦🇪 Midnight has flown in the UAE We kicked off our UAE Launch Edition program today with a test flight in Abu Dhabi at Al Bateen Executive Airport. Our initial flight test operations in the UAE are focused on evaluating the aircraft's VTOL performance in UAE-specific conditions, including high... temperature, humidity and dust exposure, to allow our team to validate readiness for commercial deployment. Thank you to the Senior Leaders from the الهيئة العامة للطيران المدني, Invest with Abu Dhabi | استثمر مع أبوظبي, Integrated Transport Centre, Abu Dhabi Aviation, ABU DHABI AIRPORTS مطارات أبوظبي and representatives from our regional partners for joining us to witness this milestone.show more

Very artfully shot and edited to obscure the fact this is the older N302AX and not the production intent model… then again, that version can’t VTOL yet.

So you spent all they money to ship it their and assemble it to do a vertical take off, hover and come back down??? Just proves you can transition still, what a joke

I've asked mgt many times how many midnights are ready. I'm guessing you have 1 only, that's why no answer. $Joby is doing better because they answer & are transparent. Shame on you $achr for your sketchy behaviour.

Didn’t Joby just do this. Archer is just a grifter

Congrats on the floating with no pilot!! #not

your chief legal officer sold his entire stake recently. His entire stake.

Watching the video, it flew in UAE well & safe in packaging and then hovered in front of a bunch of cousins. 👏👏🥳🤣

I thought this was old design for testing environment differences while they work on a change. However, this has 4 blades on the back, which is my understanding of the change needed for lift. Is this the new design for vertical liftoff or am I misunderstanding something?

This is truly a shame
