UAE in-country flight test campaign complete 🇦🇪 As part of our ongoing Launch Edition program, we’ve completed an in-country flight test campaign, showcasing Midnight’s full eVTOL flight envelope – including vertical takeoff, transition, and wingborne flight – in the UAE’s local operating environment and over desert areas. Additionally, we’ve begun receiving payments under our definitive agreement with Abu Dhabi Aviation related to our Launch Edition program. This follows our working session in October with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) at Archer HQ to continue to accelerate our UAE regulatory pathway and our airline team’s ongoing work alongside Etihad Aviation Training to mature its operational readiness by advancing pilot training.

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.
