Garmin will supply its G3000 integrated flight deck system for Archer Aviation’s four-passenger Midnight eVTOL aircraft. Archer announced the selection of its key avionics supplier on the eve of its planned unveiling of the Midnight design in California on November 16.

The G3000 avionics suite has already been chosen by Archer’s rival Joby for its four-passenger vehicle. It is a member of Garmin’s modular family of flight deck systems, which are widely used on existing business aircraft, including Embraer’s Phenom 300 light jets, the HondaJet, the Piper M600, and several of Cessna’s Citation models.
