Archer Aviation, a leading electric aviation company based in San Jose, California, announced that it has received a Part 135 air carrier certification from the Federal Aviation Administration, which the company will need to operate an on-demand air taxi service. That puts Archer on the cusp of launching a fully fledged commercial service using its electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle .
Using tilt rotors, Midnight is designed to take off and land vertically like a helicopter and then transition into forward flight like a plane. Archer came out of stealth in spring 2020 after having poached key talent from Wisk and Airbus’ Vahana project. The company has a $1 billion order from United Airlines for its eVTOL aircraft and a deal to mass-produce its eVTOL craft with global automaker Stellantis.
