Archer Aviation has announced successful completion of its critical azimuth flight tests. This marks completion of the second of three key phases of flight testing. The purpose of the tests are to validate the crosswind capabilities of Archer’s electric vehicle takeoff and landing aircraft configuration and flight control systems. The company has now successfully flown its Maker aircraft at increasing speeds of up to 15 knots in various directions and attitudes.
The rapid progress made by the company with its Maker aircraft has allowed it to validate a number of technologies for the planned production aircraft. The company will now shift to the third phase of its testing program, in which it will evaluate the aircraft’s performance at increasing speeds. At the current rate of progress, the company anticipates expanding to full transition flight by the end of the year.
Adam Goldstein, Archer’s CEO commented “Every flight test we conduct provides us with a treasure trove of data, validating our design and rapidly propelling us towards our vision for eVTOL air travel. This latest milestone is truly exciting and not only reinforces the capabilities of our aircraft design, but of our highly innovative team.”
Archer Aviation’s goal is to move people throughout the world's cities in a quick, safe, sustainable, and cost-effective manner. The company is designing and developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircrafts for use in urban air mobility networks.
