Archer、运输部长、 acting FAA 行政官宣布五国联盟推进 eVTOL 认证

Today, Archer joined leaders from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transport (DOT), including Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau, to announce the formation of this five-country alliance to streamline the certification and deployment of eVTOL aircraft globally.

This alliance includes the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

The goal of this effort is to streamline the certification and validation process for eVTOL aircraft like Midnight, globally. This alliance has the potential to create a seamless pathway to bring Midnight to the skies of these other countries once the company obtains type certification in the U.S. from the FAA.

In his comments today, Archer Founder and CEO said: “If you ever wanted to see a bat signal go up into the air and say advanced air mobility is here, eVTOLS will be built, they will be certified and brought around the world, that’s today.”

Following the event he remarked: “The Administration has made it clear: leadership in advanced aviation is a priority for President Trump and for the United States. This alliance paves the way for the international deployment of our Midnight aircraft, and is another step towards bringing these aircraft to skies around the world. Thank you to the FAA, to the DOT and our other partners in the industry.”

Following President Trump’s recent Executive Order, this is yet another example of industry momentum with an emphasis on the importance of deliberate and purposeful engagement between regulatory and industry leaders. It’s within this framework that Archer will achieve its goal of dominance in eVTOL.
