Archer Aviation has publicly revealed its Midnight aircraft, the production version of the four-seat eVTOL air taxi the company aims to get into commercial service in 2025. Archer and customers such as United Airlines will use the all-electric aircraft to carry passengers around busy urban areas, including to and from airports.
As expected, the aircraft bears many similarities to Archer’s subscale Maker technology demonstrator, a two-seat prototype that the company has been flight testing extensively over the past year. Both are fixed-wing models with 12 rotors. Six stationary propellers on the back of the wing provide lift, while the other six rotors on the front of the wing tilt forward to transition from hover to cruise flight.
