I guess CTOL is important if your VTOL is inferior. Doesn’t look like the jetsons to me

Great accomplishment, but the wording is suggesting that the landing gear itself is capable of doing both CTOL & VTOL. Is this aircraft (N703AX) able to both or is it on the next iteration of the Midnight to be capable of both? Fair question to ask since N703AX was redesigned vs the 1st Midnight N302AX.

No, show me a video that proves it's taking off and landing vertically.

Archer, are you having any trouble with vertical takeoff and then transitioning to forward flight? Is your aircraft stable through the transition?

Over the past few months, our Midnight program has consistently delivered strong results. We're now routinely flying longer, faster & higher as we expand the aircraft’s operational envelope. Recent flights have exceeded 55 miles, more than 30 minutes of flight time, altitudes up to our 10,000-foot service ceiling, and speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour. These missions are providing valuable certification data, while closely mirroring the majority of mission profiles we expect in early urban deployment environments. Our next flight test phase with Midnight will be piloted VTOL, including full transition flights with our type certification intent four-blade aft propellers. Unlike the CTOL envelope that we are now close to completing testing on, the VTOL and transition flight regimes are not new for Midnight, as we have previously completed an extensive flight test campaign with Midnight without a pilot onboard. Our progression from non-piloted VTOL to piloted CTOL to piloted VTOL & CTOL campaigns is optimized for safety and disciplined execution that builds our readiness for commercial operations. The momentum continues to grow, and the team continues to deliver.

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.

Here are my key filters when evaluating the near-term, commercial potential of an eVTOL: - Needs to be piloted - Needs to be able to handle VTOL & CTOL in ordinary day-to-day operations to maximize functional flexibility, efficiency and increase safety - Needs to be ~6,000 lbs to handle four passengers - Needs to use battery cells that have a proven safe architecture, demonstrated reliability, decades of volume manufacturing and are sourced from a trusted manufacturer Delivering an aircraft that hits on all of those is our core focus. With our prior Midnight aircraft we completed the full VTOL envelope. Now we're working through the CTOL envelope with the new aircraft to ensure Midnight can reliably, efficiently and safely operate in and out of both traditional runways and vertical take off and landing locations.

PILOT-ON-BOARD TRANSITION | We’ve reached a critical milestone on our path to commercializing the Joby aircraft: flying through transition with a pilot onboard. And then we did it six more times in the past week, with three different Joby pilots experiencing transition flight onboard the aircraft. Combining the flexibility of vertical take-off with efficient cruise flight is a unique capability that we first demonstrated in 2017, and hundreds upon hundreds of times since. This milestone — the result of thousands of hours of careful, diligent testing — represents a significant step forward for our aircraft certification program, and for our industry. Read more:

Redundancy isn’t a backup plan. It’s the plan. During our Q1’25 operating and financial results call, Archer CTO, Tom Muniz, referenced this flight test from last year—Midnight flying smoothly with an engine out. With 12 electric motors, Midnight is designed to handle the unexpected. As detailed by Tom, this is a powerful demonstration of the “safety-by-design” approach that is core to our aircraft. Watch the test flight. See the benefits of our proprietary 12 tilt 6 design in action.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our recent milestone—Development Flight 2. This full-scale flight test successfully tested a multitude of key systems needed to safely launch the capsule to 100,000 ft (30,480 m) and bring it back in a controlled descent to ocean splashdown. The completion of this flight kicks off a series of further uncrewed test flights that will examine every possible corner case as well as test our redundancy systems to ensure the safest future operations as we progress toward crewed test flights and commercialization. Spaceship Neptune is poised to offer a transformative six-hour experience to the edge of space. Propelled by our SpaceBalloon™, it will carry Explorers at a gentle 12 mph (~19 kph) pace. Aboard, you will find a comfortable and luxurious experience—complete with a Space Lounge, a proper restroom, and even a bar. Explorers can enjoy the life-changing experience with fellow passengers or share it with friends and family Earthside through the capsule’s Wi-Fi.

Just over a year ago, we celebrated our first piloted, full transition eVTOL flight — the proof point the industry was waiting for, flown by a team that had logged more than 40,000 miles of test flights, with an aircraft designed and manufactured in-house over the last decade. Having delivered on one of the most challenging technological feats in aerospace, we're now beginning to demonstrate integration into some of the world's most iconic skylines. Enjoy the approach and landing at the BLADE Lounge West in Manhattan. This is the future of flight.
