The goal is for passengers to be able to go to a nearby
vertiport, or vertical take-off and landing location, and then fly
10-20 minutes in Archer’s Midnight aircraft to their destination of
choice within the network—saving hours versus sitting in
traffic.
Archer’s planned network includes vertiports at key locations
such as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Orange County,
Santa Monica, Hollywood Burbank, Long Beach and Van Nuys. Archer’s
goal is to begin its LA network operations by as early as 2026.
As part of its network planning, Archer is coordinating with the
Los Angeles Rams to collaborate on potential exclusive vertiports
at Woodland Hills and at Hollywood Park, the near 300-acre district
centered around the 3.1 million square-foot SoFi Stadium.
The University of Southern California is also engaged to be part
of Archer’s planned LA network. Over the next two years, Archer and
USC will develop plans for converting USC’s existing heliports for
Midnight and other vertical take off and landing aircraft. USC’s
ultimate goal is to offer visitors an easy, quick and sustainable
way to get to and from its campus, sports facilities and hospitals
in the future.
“This is a big moment for Archer. Establishing our LA network
ahead of the global events that are coming to the region over the
next four years is a milestone that will put Midnight on display
for the whole world to see,” said Adam Goldstein, CEO of Archer.
“LA is known for its horrendous traffic—our goal is to offer a
safer, faster and sustainable alternative travel option.”
Midnight, Archer’s piloted, four-passenger electric aircraft,
will play a crucial role in this network. Midnight is designed to
offer passengers a sustainable, low-noise, and safe alternative to
ground transportation:
- Travels at speeds up to 150 mph, turning hour-long ground
commutes into minutes in the air
- Designed for back-to-back flights of 20-50 miles with minimal
charge time in between
- 100x quieter than a helicopter at cruising altitudes
- Redundant systems across the aircraft allowing Archer to target
similar levels of safety as commercial airliners
- Designed to carry a pilot, up to four passengers and carry-on
luggage
Governor Gavin Newsom commented, “California is showing the
world what’s possible when you embrace innovation, entrepreneurship
and clean energy to help solve your biggest challenges. Homegrown
companies like Archer Aviation are pioneering the next generation
of zero-emission transportation that will help California cut
pollution, clean our air and reduce traffic.”
“We are excited about the opportunity to bring Archer’s
game-changing technology to Hollywood Park,” said Los Angeles Rams
President Kevin Demoff. “This underscores our commitment to
enhancing the guest experience as we continue to build this
transformative global destination for sports and
entertainment.”
This announcement complements Archer’s planned network in the
San Francisco Bay Area as well as Archer’s recently announced
relationships with Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. It also
comes on the heels of major milestones in the form of a successful
transition flight, certification to begin operating as a commercial
airline and rapid progress on its manufacturing plant in Covington,
GA.
