Now operating Archer FBO.
After acquiring the FBO at Hawthorne Airport, Archer is now offering full airport services at KHHR, the most conveniently located private airport in Los Angeles. Minutes from LAX, SoFi Stadium, and Downtown LA.
When are tech folk going to get that people like wasting time, it's life. They don't optimize for efficiency, they try to get by, they watch dumb stuff, they enjoy shopping. Inefficiency is another work for living and life.
Your m mean and median job isn't a software engineer in Menlo Park, it's Ashley in accounts in a not for profit in Columbus, it's Jesse , the office manager for a tool rental business in Tallahassee, they are more likely to use a Fax machine than Slack.
They quite like meetings because they like chatting, they'll use AI to make a better invite to their baby shower, not agentify their job.
These people, nor their bosses boss, aren't in a rush to build software as a side hustle, they are keen to use AI to check if their vet is overcharging them. They'd like AI to check spelling on the email to the school governor.
They don't want agentic commerce, they want AI to be in the background and make living a little less stressful
In the early days of the jet age, people didn’t realize how much it would change the world. We’re in a similar moment with electric aviation right now. The eIPP is a springboard to get us into real-world deployment.
Major milestone for air taxis in the US 🇺🇸
Today the @USDOT and @FAANews selected our partners in Texas, New York, and Florida for the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP). Like recent robotaxi pilot initiatives, this program creates a first-of-its-kind pathway to help bring the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years to market.
We will now work directly with partners in Texas, New York, and Florida to begin laying the groundwork for early Midnight operations in those states later this year.
🚨The future of flight is here under @POTUS with eight new pilot projects as a part of our Advanced Air Mobility pilot program:
🛬 Safely test futuristic aircraft that will RADICALLY CHANGE the way people and products move
🚁 Partners will use these aircraft for all kinds of scenarios, including: urban air taxis, regional travel, cargo logistics, and emergency medicine
🇺🇸 This will create one of the WORLD’s largest testing environments for next-generation aircraft in states all across America
It all begins THIS SUMMER!
Got our airworthiness cert for N704AX. About to enter the fleet! Been grinding the last month in ground test. Final checks, safety of flight and then she begins the piloted VTOL campaign.
Teams been fighting through the atmospheric river that hit CA this week. #aircrafts
The future of aviation is taking flight! ✈️
Advanced Air Mobility will redefine how people fly and how communities connect. Under @POTUS, this administration will usher in a brand-new era of possibilities for travel.
Traffic in Miami is a nightmare, but one real-estate tycoon has a plan: flying taxis that take commuters around South Florida for $200.

Congrats to @KyleBetaClark and his team at Beta on IPOing today. Great for the industry’s future to have the 3 electric aviation pioneers based here in the U.S. and listed on the @NYSE. Love the collective competition that drives us all forward to ensure America’s leadership for decades to come.
Last week, @POTUS signed an Executive Order to accelerate the rollout of eVTOL in the US. Today, we’re backing that momentum with an additional $850M of capital—bringing our liquidity to an industry leading ~$2B.
We’re now strategically positioned to commercialize Midnight here in the U.S. and abroad.
Hybrid Propulsion. Vertical Lift. American Made.
We're teaming up with @anduriltech for an exclusive, strategic partnership to build the future of military aircraft.
Our initial project together is a jointly developed hybrid-propulsion, vertical-lift aircraft for critical defense applications, with engineering efforts already underway. To accomplish this, we’re pairing our ability to rapidly develop advanced VTOL aircraft with Anduril's deep expertise in artificial intelligence, missionization and systems integration.
To support this, we also announced that we’ve raised an additional $430M in equity capital bringing our liquidity to ~$1B. This gives us one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector.
