Archer’s Post

There are several challenges with all eVTOLs: 1) Certification and Regulations, 2) Infrastructure, 3) Technological and Operational Challenges, 4) Market and Public Acceptance, 5) Redefining Air Mobility and Autonomous Innovations, 6) Air Traffic Control and Safety Challenges, 7) Pilot and Maintenance Training, 8) Passenger Accessibility, 9) Industry Collaboration and Strategic Partnerships, and 10) Operations in Large Cities, Small Cities, and Suburban Areas. These are just a few areas that need to be further addressed and enhanced by those involved in this arena.

That is true. You will also need to find a way to charge $50 as per your own assessments (below) while noting, as your sales guy did at Revolution.Aero, that landing fees are “over $50”. Does this mean Archer will subsidise flights or does this mean Archer will tell operators that the assumed costs are far higher? #evtol (Revolution.Aero 2024: "Goel appears less certain about the price point at which Midnight flights will launch or settle at. Responding to a question from Michael Halaby, head of the London-based Aviation Advisory business of MUFG Bank, about whether Archer still stood by its 2021 prediction of a $50 [operating cost per seat] to fly from JFK airport to Manhattan, Goel acknowledged that current helicopter landing fees at either end of that journey come to more than that.” https://lnkd.in/eqA8tANE)

The big challenge will be demonstrating that the Archer Midnight can offer the same level of service as current leading urban airshuttles and airtaxis, the Airbus Helicopters H125, Bell Flight 407 and 505, and Robinson Helicopter Company R66, by being able to do 3 typical airport city centre fully laden one way flights per peak hour for 3 peak hours with just top-up charging at a similar cost per seat mile, something no eVTOL developer has demonstrated yet.

Doc Brown called it back in 1985, and Archer is making it happen! Excited about the future of aviation and mobility. 🚀

...you don't need roads, but you need sustainable hangar's with our doors & floors! :)

Where we're going, we don't need roads a quote from “Back to the Future “ I think order to scale up production you will need some DoD contracts

There's a 1:1000000 chance that he means the island of misfit toys, that notably, had no roads. Merry Christmas to all and good night.

There are more roads and avenues to bankruptcy & failure than there are roads or avenues to success….

Warum gibt es in der Natur eigentlich kein Rad. Tiere laufen, schwimmen oder fliegen… Wie schön wäre die Erde ohne Straßen, Gummiabrieb und Gift aus Verbennern. Wenigstens beim letzt genannten auf einem sehr guten Weg. Bei den anderen beiden bin ich voller Zuversicht.

That is helicopter slogan from 1926
