Archer Aviation has completed construction of the factory in Covington, Georgia, where it plans to start producing the four-passenger Midnight eVTOL aircraft in early 2025. The California-based company said it hopes to achieve a production rate of two aircraft per month by the end of 2025 and 650 aircraft annually by 2030. 

On December 19, Archer announced that it received a certificate of occupancy for the 400,000-sq-ft factory, which is located adjacent to Covington Municipal Airport, some 40 miles east of Atlanta. This means that the facility is in compliance with local building codes and can now legally open to employees. Archer is now working to load in the tooling for the facility’s initial manufacturing line.
