Archer Aviation’s Midnight eVTOL has completed 402 test flights so far in 2024.
This surpasses the 400 test flight goal the company set for this year, approximately four months ahead of schedule.
The 400 plus flights were conducted over the last eight months as the company ramps flight test operations in advance of for-credit flight testing with the FAA.
Adam Goldstein, CEO and founder of Archer, said; “When we first set our goal for 400 flights this year it was viewed as aggressive, but here we are in August already knocking it out. I’m proud of the Archer flight test team and the supporting groups that made it happen.”
Each flight produces critical data that Archer’s teams use to evaluate and refine aircraft loads, vibrations, performance and handling qualities.
