Archer designs and develops electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft aimed at transforming urban transportation. Their aircraft operate by taking off and landing vertically, which allows them to navigate congested city environments efficiently. Archer targets urban commuters, city planners, and transportation networks, offering eco-friendly solutions to improve urban mobility. Unlike traditional transportation methods, Archer's eVTOLs provide a sustainable alternative that reduces environmental impact. The company generates revenue through the sale of its aircraft and may also offer air taxi services in the future. Archer's goal is to lead the shift towards sustainable air mobility, making urban commuting more efficient and environmentally friendly.
