We’re at @UCBerkeley for the Advanced Aviation Summit hosted by Berkeley Air & Space Center & @CITRISnews! CEO Sebastien Vigneron & Annie Cheng are discussing the future of autonomous, low-altitude air operations. ✈️✨
🎥 Tour diary: Salinas.
Every tour has a stop that just feels different. For Midnight, that was this past weekend flying for the crowd in Salinas - the airport that's played home to our flight test program for the past several years.
For the second year running, Midnight took to the sky at the California International Air Show, sharing the bill with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Goulian Aerosports, and a lineup of icons including the MiG-17, T-33, and A-37 Dragonfly. Hundreds of Archer team members turned out to enjoy the show with the community that's been with us from day one.
The "No Roads" Flight Tour continues to San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and beyond.
The Museum is celebrating the re-opening of two classrooms dedicated to aerospace learning thanks to a $1 million gift from GE Aerospace at our building in Washington, D.C., giving students an opportunity to spark their curiosity and imagine the possibilities of the future.
Pulling Gs, wrapped in vapor, and lighting up the afterburners! The only thing missing from this photo is feeling that engine rumble in your chest!

Archer Technical Blog: How ZEE Helps Pilots and Controllers Safely Decode the Airspace
Radio miscommunication errors are a contributing factor in a majority of reported aviation safety incidents, and on complex clearances, pilots misread instructions back roughly 1 in 4 times. That's a safety problem. We designed ZEE to help fix it.
ZEE, our foundation AI model purpose-built for aviation, has a proprietary speech engine that turns radio comms into a real-time, structured and accurate transcript to help pilots and controllers avoid miscommunications. It's 84% more accurate than general speech models in the aviation domain and runs fully offline and on device.
Built to understand the whole airspace — ADS-B, ATC comms, flight plans, weather reports and NOTAMs — decoding Air Traffic Control communications is just one of ZEE's capabilities.

Today in 1783, the Montgolfier brothers' balloon launched carrying the first living creatures to fly in a craft: a duck, a rooster, and a sheep. All survived and helped to demonstrate that balloon flight was safe for humans.
Happy Birthday, @usairforce! 🫡🎈🎉
On September 18, 1947, the U.S. Air Force was officially established as an independent military service branch. Today, on its 79th birthday, we extend our sincere gratitude to all Air Force veterans and active service members.
Nothing honors that incredible lineage quite like a Heritage Flight, as seen in this photo from the 2018 Planes of Fame Air Show!

#OTD 30 years ago: Space Shuttle Atlantis launched on STS - 79. 🚀 Commander William F. Readdy, Pilot Terrence W. Wilcutt, Mission Specialists Jerome (Jay) Apt, Thomas D. Akers, Carl E. Walz, Shannon W. Lucid, and John E. Blaha lifted off at 4:54 AM from Kennedy Space Center. The mission marked the fourth Shuttle-Mir docking and brought home astronaut Shannon Lucid after her 188 days in space—a U.S. spaceflight record at the time.
