What they build

The product

Archer designs, manufactures, and plans to operate Midnight, a four-passenger-plus-pilot eVTOL aircraft for short urban hops. The company is building a high-volume manufacturing facility in Covington, GA in partnership with Stellantis and is pursuing both commercial air taxi service and a defense variant.

Why it matters

The thesis

Archer represents a Stellantis-backed bet on US-based aircraft mass production, layering eVTOLs onto domestic auto-style assembly lines. A meaningful win for reshoring high-skill aerospace manufacturing in Georgia and California.
