About the company

Archer designs and develops electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban transport. Its eVTOLs use electric propulsion to take off and land vertically, enabling compact, city-friendly air mobility that can serve urban commuters and feed into air taxi networks. The company sells its aircraft directly and may in the future generate revenue from air taxi services or related operations, blending aircraft sales with service fees. Archer differentiates itself by focusing on the urban air mobility market and pursuing a direct-sales approach paired with potential operation services, aiming to partner with city planners and transportation networks to integrate eco-friendly, on-demand urban transport. The goal is to advance sustainable, city-centered air mobility and help cities reduce congestion and pollution by offering practical, electric aerial transit.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • August 2026 AEG partnership makes Archer exclusive air taxi provider for L.A. LIVE.
  • September 2026 'No Roads' flights with FAA support expand customer proof before eIPP.
  • Insitu's $200 million-plus annual defense revenue diversifies Archer beyond passenger eVTOL sales.

What critics are saying

  • Q2 2026 revenue was $5.0 million against a $263.2 million net loss.
  • Archer burned $215.3 million cash in Q2 2026, dropping liquidity to $1.56 billion.
  • A missed 2026 FAA transition-flight or eIPP launch would cripple LA28 credibility.

What makes Archer unique

  • April 2026: Archer closed FAA Phase 3 first among eVTOL peers.
  • Archer's Midnight completed piloted Salinas-Monterey and Salinas-Hollister flights in 2026.
  • Boeing's Wisk, Insitu, and SkyGrid acquisition adds autonomy, defense, and airspace software.

Joby leads Archer in FAA certification race with $53.4M revenue vs under $1M

Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation, competitors in the electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft market, show stark differences in their price-to-sales ratios. Joby trades at 51 times this year's sales, whilst Archer trades at 278 times. The gap stems from revenue generation. Joby's revenue jumped from under $1 million in 2024 to $53.4 million in 2025, driven by US Air Force contracts and its acquisition of Blade Air Mobility's passenger business. Analysts expect Joby's revenue to reach $119.5 million in 2026. Archer generated less than $1 million in 2025, with projections of $15.1 million for 2026. Joby has reached the fifth stage of FAA certification, whilst Archer completed the third stage, positioning Joby closer to launching commercial flights in the US.

Archer Aviation shares drop 14% after earnings despite revenue beat

Archer Aviation shares have fallen 14.1% in the month since its last earnings report. The company posted a second-quarter loss of 25 cents per share, matching estimates, whilst revenues of $5 million beat the consensus estimate of $2 million by 156%. The revenue increase was driven by expanded operations at Hawthorne Airport in Los Angeles. Archer continues advancing towards commercial operations, completing piloted city-to-city Midnight flights and preparing for operations under the eVTOL Integration Pilot Programme. Operating expenses rose to $284.2 million as the company invested in certification, engineering and commercialisation efforts. Research and development expenses increased to $186 million from $122.4 million year-over-year, whilst general and administrative expenses climbed to $93.9 million from $53.7 million.

LA Live to unveil air taxi and house downtown's first vertiport for 2028 Olympics

Archer Aviation and AEG plan to unveil an air taxi at LA Live on Monday and construct downtown Los Angeles's first vertiport ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The Santa Cruz-based aviation company aims to enable passengers to travel across the city in 10 to 20 minutes aboard its Midnight aircraft, turning hour-long commutes into short all-electric flights. Archer's planned Los Angeles network will include SoFi Stadium, USC, and Hollywood Burbank Airport, with Hawthorne Airport serving as its central hub. The companies have completed an initial feasibility study for the LA Live site, covering land use, airspace reviews, power availability, and community impact. The next phase examining operational approach and guest experience is underway. Competitor Joby Aviation showcased its electric air taxi in September 2024, also targeting a 2028 Olympics launch in Los Angeles.

Archer Aviation secures exclusive L.A. LIVE vertiport deal despite $263M net loss

Archer Aviation has partnered with AEG to build downtown Los Angeles' first vertiport at L.A. LIVE, becoming the exclusive air taxi partner for the district. The announcement came in August 2026, alongside the company's second-quarter results showing $5.0 million in sales and a net loss of $263.2 million. The L.A. LIVE vertiport strengthens Archer's visibility around urban deployment and its LA28 ambitions. However, near-term challenges remain, including widening net losses and ongoing certification work. Recent progress includes the Midnight aircraft completing a piloted roundtrip between Salinas and Monterey. Archer's narrative projects $716.0 million revenue by 2029, requiring 622.3% yearly revenue growth. Some optimistic analysts forecast revenue reaching $868.1 million by 2029. The partnership provides a visible launchpad for testing urban air mobility economics, though regulatory milestones and public acceptance remain key risks.
