About Archer: Archer is designing and developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for use in urban air mobility networks. Archer’s mission is to unlock the skies, freeing everyone to reimagine how they move and spend time. Archer's team is based in Santa Clara, CA. (NYSE: $ACHR)
why cant we see and hear what it actually sounds like? why is the landing edited to cut out how it actually get back on the ground? Forward flight sequences hard to come by…why is that?
Transition flight soon?
Why do some video shots appear as if they're Chroma key compositing (green screen technology)?
This appears to be a hover test. Maintaining a position. However, the footage hints at movement as if the vehicle is moving towards a heading. OR (likely) its a camera rig on a ground vehicle moving pretty fast. So there might be a little trickery here to let the public create assumptions.
At this stage of the game. They're only at the hover testing phase? That is disappointing. Not to mention this video is 2 months old. And i still haven't seen any update testing videos. Have you seen this midnight fly in transition yet?
What about bad weather? Would it stop the taxi service to for a week if there is heavy rain? What about strong wind?
Why has it not transitioned to wing borne flight yet?
EPIC!!! Imagine this as an Uber?! (AirUber!!!)
Thats Joby, Joby Aviation acquired Uber Elevate
Is this just a drone not to scale as the size proposed for human transportation? If it is just a drone, then it is no different from a drone bought at Best Buy for $500.
Uauuuuuuu, mil vezes Uauuuu!!
Absolutely Awesome 👏
Whats the expected timeline until FAA certification?
2026
now tell me what's the unsolved problem by helicopter this thing actually solves?
Cheaper to fly and much quieter.
cheaper op cost given that it leverages fixed wing aerodynamics, relying on less engine power to go forward. plus, the electric powertrain is supposed to be less complex and less prone to catasrophic failures by leveraging distributed propulsion. less noisy, effectively zero noise if you factor the ambience of a city, thus not subject to operating limitations, thus the utilzation rates would be higher since its not sitting in a hanager accruing costs. i could go on.
Why do you think its solving a helicopter problem? That's not why evtols were created.
Let's hear the godawful noise that will define our collective futures
It’s not a flying car. Impressive, but it’s misleading.
You wouldn't drive that down the 101, it would be more suited for the 280. Parking might be an issue. /s
It's a GIANT DRONE with ample space for a BIG BOMB. It might sell well in Ukraine.
