Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

Proud Supporter of @LA28 and @TeamUSA

Hawthorne Airport built the future once. It's about to do it again.

Our acquisition announced yesterday firmly plants the Archer flag in the heart of L.A., with plans for it to serve as our operational hub for our LA air taxi network. It is strategically located less than three miles from LAX, and is the closest airport to some of the city’s biggest attractions — SoFi Stadium, The Forum, Intuit Dome, and Downtown L.A. The airport will also act as a test bed for the AI-powered aviation technologies we’re developing and plan to deploy with our airline and technology partners.

The historic Hawthorne Airport was built in the 1920s to attract Jack Northrup to build his company here. That led to Hawthorne Airport becoming a vital military asset used by the U.S. Army during WWII for manufacturing and modifying aircraft like the P-61 Black Widow.

Inside our battery pack manufacturing line. Designed for aviation. Built for scale.

Flight test Friday.

Flight test Friday.

Midnight aircraft are designed for robust data collection, allowing us to measure aircraft systems throughout flight, validating safety and performance and informing aircraft readiness throughout the certification process.

Stable and smooth.

This is what American manufacturing looks like.

Today, we’re sharing our Q1’26 results. Here’s the latest:

☑️US operations expected to begin this year under eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP)
☑️Advanced commercial readiness with expanded piloted flight test program & operational control of Hawthorne Airport in LA
☑️Record certification progress as Archer is first to close Phase 3
of the FAA’s 4-phase Type Cert process for eVTOL aircraft
☑️Significant progress made on dual-use, hybrid aircraft with a program award expected this year
☑️Rapidly advancing AI stack through partnerships with NVIDIA, Palantir and Starlink amid DOT’s $12.5B ATC modernization effort
☑️Strong liquidity with Q1 ending at $1.8B

Highlights from our most expansive quarter for our flight test program, with piloted VTOL and CTOL flights across our expanded fleet on a near-daily basis and often multiple times a day.

Midnight is designed to be capable of taking off and landing conventionally (CTOL) or vertically (VTOL) to serve the full spectrum of flight operations and safety standards.

This dual-mode capability gives it the flexibility to operate safely across a wide range of infrastructure, from traditional airports and runways to urban vertiports and constrained landing zones.
