Where we’re going, we don’t need roads. On the heels of more than 70 test flights with Midnight in August and our recent successful roundtrip flight from Salinas to Monterey, we’re launching the ‘No Roads’ flight tour as as part of our participation in the White House’s Air Taxi Pilot Program (eIPP) and preparation for the LA28 Games. The tour is expected to include Midnight flights in Monterey, Hollister, San Martin, San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and around the Los Angeles area, as well as flights in Texas and Florida. archer.com/news/archer-launc…

🎥 Tour diary: Salinas. Every tour has a stop that just feels different. For Midnight, that was this past weekend flying for the crowd in Salinas - the airport that's played home to our flight test program for the past several years. For the second year running, Midnight took to the sky at the California International Air Show, sharing the bill with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Goulian Aerosports, and a lineup of icons including the MiG-17, T-33, and A-37 Dragonfly. Hundreds of Archer team members turned out to enjoy the show with the community that's been with us from day one. The "No Roads" Flight Tour continues to San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and beyond.

That’s a wrap on Midnight’s hometown performance at this year’s @Salinas_Airshow.

Day 1 of the @Salinas_Airshow was a vibe.

See you this weekend at the Salinas Airshow.

The HSR Act waiting period for our acquisition of @Boeing's @WiskAero, @Insitu_Inc, and @skygridai businesses has expired. This satisfies a key condition to closing the transaction. Completion of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain other regulatory approvals, which are underway. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026 and is set to create an end-to-end physical AI platform for aerospace and defense, combining Wisk, Insitu and SkyGrid’s pioneering autonomy, electric vertical take off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and airspace intelligence technologies with Archer’s product suite and leading purpose-built AI foundation model, ZEE. archer.com/news/archer-annou…

Midnight is set to perform for the home crowd at our next "No Roads" tour stop. This weekend, Midnight returns to the California International Air Show for the second year running, flying in an epic lineup that includes the @usairforce's Thunderbirds, Goulian Aerosports, and other iconic aircraft like the MiG-17, T-33, and A-37 Dragonfly. Hundreds of Archer team members from engineering, operations, and flight test are expected on site each day to celebrate with the community. Spectators can watch Midnight fly and see the aircraft up close on the static display before the "No Roads" flight tour moves on to San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. archer.com/news/archer-to-sh…

Archer Technical Blog: How ZEE Helps Pilots and Controllers Safely Decode the Airspace Radio miscommunication errors are a contributing factor in a majority of reported aviation safety incidents, and on complex clearances, pilots misread instructions back roughly 1 in 4 times. That's a safety problem. We designed ZEE to help fix it. ZEE, our foundation AI model purpose-built for aviation, has a proprietary speech engine that turns radio comms into a real-time, structured and accurate transcript to help pilots and controllers avoid miscommunications. It's 84% more accurate than general speech models in the aviation domain and runs fully offline and on device. Built to understand the whole airspace — ADS-B, ATC comms, flight plans, weather reports and NOTAMs — decoding Air Traffic Control communications is just one of ZEE's capabilities. archer.com/tech-blog/zee-dec…

Salinas Summer '26

Texas doesn't do anything small, including how it welcomes the future of flight. Proud to be part of Project Nexus, @TxDOT's eIPP program safely preparing the skies for next-gen aircraft across the state and beyond.

♠️ ACES in Texas ♠️ Electric aviation requires charging infrastructure to support it. With Texas preparing for operations under the White House’s air taxi pilot program, there couldn’t be a better time to start building. America's Consortium for Electric Skyways (ACES), launched by Archer, @BETA_aircraft and @Macquarie Capital, plans to bring our interoperable charging network to Texas to support @TxDOT’s operations under the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP). We plan to work with TxDOT over the coming months to identify where charging infrastructure should be best located to enable operations. archer.com/news/archer-beta-…

Tour posters coming soon. Flights coming even sooner.

Thanks to @Skift for naming Archer the winner in the Travel Technology category at this year's IDEA Awards. Good recognition of the important role electric air taxis play in the future of travel.

⚡ Pair of Aces ⚡ Archer and @BETA_aircraft are working together to lead the ACES charging infrastructure consortium bringing the industry together with a plan to electrify up to 250 air taxi sites across the United States in the coming decade. The approach behind ACES is what makes this network viable in a way no single company could deliver alone. As founding launch partners, we'll work to bring additional infrastructure, OEM partners and capital into the network so the industry can scale together. archer.com/news/archer-aviat…

The journey to @LA28 is just beginning ✨
