Archer Aviation has selected the Austrian aerostructures manufacturer FACC to supply elements of the fuselage and wing for Archer’s eVTOL aircraft. 

The California-based start-up is developing a fully electric, four-seat eVTOL aircraft with a fixed wing and a tilting propeller system. Archer has flown several test flights with its two-seat Maker eVTOL technology demonstrator aircraft since December 2021, when it received its airworthiness certificate from the FAA. The company plans to reveal its full-size production model in 2023, with type certification expected in 2024.
