The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued final airworthiness criteria for Archer Aviation’s Midnight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This regulatory milestone solidifies the path for Archer to achieve type certification for Midnight. Archer is one of only two companies in the world to achieve this certification progress with the FAA for an eVTOL aircraft.

Finalization of Archer’s airworthiness criteria unlocks the ability for Archer to work with the FAA to obtain the remaining final approvals on its certification and test plans. This is a critical step as Archer continues to ramp up its for-credit testing with the FAA and prepares to begin its piloted flight testing later this year.
