Archer this week said it is on track to launch commercial flights with its four-passenger Midnight eVTOL aircraft in 2025. Reporting year-end financial results on Monday, the company said that at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, it had overall liquidity of around $625 million as it embarks on the latter stages of an FAA type certification process it aims to complete this year.
