—and is now building a sprawling, 100-acre site in Covington, Georgia, aimed at high-volume eVTOL craft production. The automaker has recently increased its stake in the eVTOL startup, ahead of a planned opening quite soon.
"Stellantis personnel are now embedded across almost all areas of Archer's operations, including manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, quality, facilities, and human resources," the automaker said this month.Just what they had been working on is the battery-electric Archer Midnight—an eVTOL craft intended for short hops of about 20 miles, and a top range of 100 miles with a pilot and four passengers aboard.
"At Archer, our goal is not just to get to commercialization, but to achieve it at scale," said Archer's Founder and CEO Adam Goldstein. "High-volume manufacturing is critical to ensuring we can meet this goal, and joining forces with one of the leading mobility companies in the world is helping us realize the once-in-a-generation opportunity we have to redefine urban transportation.
