Archer set to unveil its eVTOL aircraft in Los Angeles on June 10th, event also available as a live stream

Archer will pub­licly unveil its two-seater demon­stra­tor eVTOL air­craft in Los Ange­les next week, in what the com­pa­ny has described as a ‘mon­u­men­tal mile­stone’ in its jour­ney towards com­mer­cial launch by 2024.

Organ­ised in accor­dance with local Covid-19 guide­lines, the event on June 10th will also be a live stream on Archer’s YouTube chan­nel from 6pm PT.

Its ful­ly-elec­tric air­craft, which has been called Mak­er, has been designed to be 100 times qui­eter than a con­ven­tion­al heli­copter and will trav­el dis­tances of 60 miles at 150mph.

Brett Adcock, Archer co-founder and co-CEO, said: “Maker’s unveil brings us one step clos­er to mak­ing sus­tain­able trav­el more acces­si­ble and afford­able for peo­ple liv­ing in the world’s biggest, most con­gest­ed cities. Archer has seen a peri­od of tremen­dous growth and we are proud of what our team has already accom­plished. We’re excit­ed to con­tin­ue on our time­line toward a com­mer­cial launch and move urban trans­porta­tion net­works into the skies.”

Archer’s recent­ly announced merg­er with Atlas Crest Invest­ment Cor­po­ra­tion (NYSE: ACIC) and com­mer­cial order from Unit­ed Air­lines val­ues the com­pa­ny at $3.8 bil­lion. It has also announced urban air mobil­i­ty net­works in the cities of Los Ange­les and Mia­mi.

Ear­li­er this year, Archer also signed a part­ner­ship with Stel­lan­tis, one of the biggest auto­mo­tive man­u­fac­tur­ers in the world. This grants Archer access to the low-cost sup­ply chain and advanced com­pos­ite mate­r­i­al capa­bil­i­ties need­ed to pro­duce air­craft at the scale to sup­port its oper­a­tions.

Archer co-founder and co-CEO Adam Gold­stein, added: “At Archer, we are play­ing the long-game and invest­ing in bet­ter, more sus­tain­able trans­porta­tion for gen­er­a­tions to come. Set­ting a date for our sup­port­ers to see that mis­sion mate­ri­alise is a momen­tous occa­sion, not just for our team, but for the future cities that will ben­e­fit from a green trans­porta­tion alter­na­tive. We are grate­ful for the part­ners, col­lab­o­ra­tion, and trust that have led us to this point, and we’re excit­ed for what’s to come.”
