Archer Aviation Stock News

The low-altitude economy is on the verge of rocketing higher over the next few decades. Bank of America sees the global adoption of electric vehicle take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to increase by 62% by 2030.

Archer Aviation (ACHR 2.93%) is selling a big idea: small electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or so-called "air taxis." These sleek, battery-powered aircraft promise to turn 45-minute crosstown commutes through busy metropolises into 10-minute rides above the traffic.

Archer Aviation (ACHR -0.81%) just completed the longest test flight yet of its Midnight aircraft, covering 55 miles at speeds of more than 125 miles per hour. The flight took just 31 minutes to complete.

Investing in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) market can be an exciting opportunity. Companies making this type of aircraft can capitalize on significant long-term growth opportunities, in what could be the next big travel trend.

Archer Aviation (ACHR -0.81%) is up 160% in a year -- without a single aircraft sale. Backed by a $6 billion order book, $1 billion in cash, and a UAE launch on deck, this eVTOL disruptor could soar, or worse, plummet.

Archer Aviation's NYSE: ACHR stock has recently captured significant market attention, with an increase in trading volume and positive price momentum that suggests a potential Wall Street frenzy is building. This renewed investor enthusiasm is grounded in a powerful series of back-to-back catalysts that demonstrate tangible progress for Archer.

Archer Aviation's Midnight eVTOL recently completed a piloted 31-minute, 51-mile piloted test flight.

Archer ended Q2 2025 with $1.724 billion liquidity after an $850 million raise, funding certification and manufacturing. Six Midnight aircraft are under build, three in final assembly, across Archer's 700,000 sq. ft. combined facilities. Midnight completed a record 55-mile, 31-minute piloted flight at 126 mph, validating safety envelope and regulator confidence.
