Adam Goldstein this week took sole command of eVTOL aircraft developer Archer Aviation after Brett Adcock stepped down as co-CEO. Adcock, who co-founded the California-based start-up with Goldstein in 2018, will remain on the company’s board of directors.

“The company took this step, which it believes will help simplify its operating structure, to drive its flight testing and certification program on its path to commercialization,” Archer said in a written statement on the leadership change. “As one of the most well-funded eVTOL companies, with a team of world-class engineering and design talent, Archer is strategically positioned to bring urban air mobility to market.”
