Archer Aviation: Transformative Contracts Elevate Defense Capabilities
Tumblr media
  Archer's Midnight Aircraft - A Paradigm Shift in Military Aviation
Archer Aviation Inc., a leading innovator in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The company has secured new contracts with the U.S. Air Force valued at up to $142 million, signifying the military's acknowledgment of the transformative potential of Archer's groundbreaking eVTOL technology for the nation's Armed Forces. This new phase of the partnership will entail the delivery of up to six Midnight aircraft to the Air Force, sharing critical flight test data and certification-related reports, pilot training, and the development of maintenance and repair operations. Archer's cutting-edge capabilities are poised to bolster the national defense of the United States.  
The Road to Transformative Collaboration
Archer Aviation has been collaborating with the DoD since 2021, engaging in various projects through the U.S. Air Force's AFWERX program. The partnership aims to assess the transformative potential of the vertical flight market and eVTOL technologies for DoD purposes under the AFWERX Agility Prime program. With Archer recently completing the manufacturing of its first Midnight aircraft, the DoD recognizes its immense potential in military aviation and operations. The Midnight aircraft, equipped with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, a target payload of approximately 1,000 lbs, a proprietary electric powertrain system, and a low noise profile, holds promise in enhancing rapid response, agility, and operational effectiveness across diverse mission profiles.   Archer's Midnight Aircraft - A Revolution in Military Aviation Archer's Midnight aircraft are poised to revolutionize military aviation. Their versatility spans from personnel transport and logistics support to rescue operations, offering a much safer and quieter alternative to traditional helicopters. Additionally, these eVTOL aircraft are more cost-effective for the U.S. military to transport, operate, and maintain in the field. With a focus on transport, logistics, and rescue operations, Archer's Founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein, expressed excitement about integrating Midnight into the Air Force's operational fleet, emphasizing the importance of cutting-edge technology in advancing the country's defense capabilities.  
Shaping the Future of Aerospace
Colonel Tom Meagher, the lead for AFWERX Agility Prime programs, emphasized the significance of eVTOL aircraft as they represent the cusp of the third revolution in aerospace. These aircraft, along with their future descendants, are set to drive advances in capabilities and efficiency. The contracts with Archer Aviation offer the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force a unique opportunity to lead the world in developing and deploying emerging aerospace technology, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of technological innovation.   Visionary Leadership and Dedication to Innovation Retired 4-Star General and Archer Government Services Advisory Board Member, Steve Townsend, praised the historic agreement and its potential impact on the capabilities of the Armed Forces. He commended the visionary leadership at the DoD that led to the contract and Archer's dedication to pushing the boundaries of aviation technology. The partnership between Archer and the U.S. government is expected to unlock numerous benefits that eVTOL aircraft offer the U.S. military.  
Archer's Government Services Advisory Board
Following this announcement, Archer Aviation unveiled the formation of its Government Services Advisory Board. The board's mission is to facilitate Archer's engagement with the U.S. government and public safety agencies to explore opportunities for commercializing eVTOL aircraft. The esteemed board members, including retired military leaders, are actively assisting and facilitating Archer's direct engagement with relevant government agencies and officials to accelerate the consideration and implementation of Archer's eVTOL aircraft and related technologies.  
Looking Ahead - Innovation and Collaboration
As Archer Aviation's eVTOL aircraft continue to pave the way for transformative possibilities, it is clear that the development and commercialization of such technologies remain a national priority. The ongoing collaboration between Archer and the U.S. Department of Defense signifies a shared commitment to advancing aerospace technology and reinforcing the United States' position at the forefront of innovation.   Forward-looking Statements and Archer's Mission In light of these developments, Archer acknowledges the potential risks and uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements regarding its future business plans and market opportunities. However, the company's mission remains steadfast – to unlock the skies and reimagine how people move and spend time. Archer's dedication to electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for urban air mobility networks reflects a commitment to shaping a brighter future for aviation.   About Archer Aviation Headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, Archer Aviation is at the forefront of designing and developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for urban air mobility networks.   About Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) The Air Force Research Laboratory is the sole organization leading the planning and execution of U.S. Air Force & U.S. Space Force science & technology programs, playing a pivotal role in discovering and delivering revolutionary technology.   About AFWERX AFWERX, the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force, drives cutting-edge American ingenuity from small businesses and start-ups to address the most pressing challenges faced by the Air Force.   Sources: THX News & Archer.

It’s the most difficult challenge you will experience. It’s also the most exciting ride you will have. #Entrepreneurship = I can do bad all by myself. I remember work for the #airforce in #defensecontracting and hearing news that two of my co-workers had died or committed #suicide in a little over 2 years. One of them was my cube mate. Prior to that, my father passed from #prostatecancer. It seemed to be blow after blow and it brought out the worst of me. I needed a change of scene big time. My family took my father’s death the worst. It seemed like we were all floating on autopilot. I #quitmyjob and began pursuing my dreams. Everyone from my old job labeled me as a quitter and my family labeled me as some sort of #ptsd veteran living in an unreal bubble. I just got my #mba and the thought I was throwing everything away. To make matters worse, I ended up losing my brother to suicide a couple years later. A couple years later I opened my first biz and that bitch rocked from sun up to sunset. I did my first 10 hour day for myself. 4 weeks later I check my bank statement to find out I had made $5,500 on a soft opening month. The next month? $9,900 and after that $11,000! I saw all of my hard work, dreams happen and I overcame my pain and fears most importantly. For me, entrepreneurship is a way of life. When all you have to depend on is you, you either spend more time living or more time dying. I want to live. #cigaraficionado #entrepreneurship #boss #believeinyourself

There’s never been a president in the history of the US that greater symbolizes what America is all about more accurately than Donald Trump. That is why the establishment hates him so much. He ripped the mask off the face of empire. The militarization of the border, the endless regime change wars, the drone warfare practiced worldwide, the dehumanization of the non white people who are routinely bombed and displaced because of US foreign policy, the seizure of other countries resources, the alliances with brutal dictators, the arrogance of American imperialism, and the needless killing of hundreds of thousands of women and children globally are much better represented by Trump than any other President. Maybe now Americans will wake up and realize what the US foreign policy and US military is doing to the world and why everybody hates the US across the globe #evilempire #empire #endlesswar #endregimechangewars #dronestrikes #dronewarfare #oligarchy #kleptocracy #plutocracy #warpigs #invertedtotalitarianism #tyranny #usempire #warmachine #imperialism #colonialism #interventionism #warcrimes #redpilled #truth #uglytruth #americanexceptionalism #militaryindustrialcomplex #warprofiteers #wardropes #defensecontracts #governmentcontracts #crimesagainsthumanity https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uGWMnn8vj/?igshid=12r31im3tp45y
