With Archer recently completing the manufacturing of its first
Midnight aircraft, Department of Defense personnel have indicated
they recognize that with its vertical takeoff and landing
capabilities, target payload of approximately 1,000lbs, proprietary
electric powertrain system, and low noise profile, Archer’s
aircraft represents a potential paradigm shift in military aviation
and operations. These aircraft hold the promise of enhancing rapid
response, agility, and operational effectiveness across a wide
range of mission profiles, from personnel transport and logistics
support to rescue operations and more. Archer’s Midnight aircraft
are expected to provide a much safer and quieter alternative to
helicopters while being more cost-effective for the U.S. military
to transport, operate and maintain in the field.
“The low cost, low noise, high safety nature of Archer’s
Midnight makes it a very compelling aircraft for all branches of
the U.S. military to integrate into their fleet,” said Retired
2-Star General and Archer Government Services Advisory Board
Member, Clay Hutmacher. “We continue to see increasing interest in
the capabilities of eVTOL aircraft across the military.” General
Hutmacher retired in 2018 from the United States Army having served
more than 40 years. He was an Army Special Operations Aviator who
commanded at every level during his three tours with the 160th
Special Operations Aviation Regiment. His last active-duty
assignment was the Director of Operations in the U.S. Special
Operations Command in Tampa, Florida.
Archer is working closely with the members of its Government
Services Advisory Board to more fully engage with U.S. government
and public safety agencies around the country to explore
opportunities to commercialize its eVTOL aircraft.
