Archer has the conforming prototype of its multicopter in ground tests and expects to fly it in the next few weeks. The company has received investments from United Airlines and carmaker Stellantis and will start building a factory in Covington, Georgia, next year. It says it will build 2,300 aircraft, named Midnight, a year. The Midnight will carry four passengers and a pilot and is designed for flights of 20 to 50 miles although it has a maximum range of 100 miles.
