Archer Aviation is showcasing a new mixed-reality flight training device for the four-passenger Midnight eVTOL aircraft this week at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, Florida.

Developed in partnership with Vertex Solutions, a company that specializes in extended-reality (XR) training tools, the Midnight MR FTD will support Archer’s ongoing work with the U.S. Air Force, which is training military pilots to fly the Midnight aircraft.
