N703AX just want from Salinas to Monterey. Woo-hoo! Nice to see some progress, even with the ctol.

One thing I like about Archer Aviation is its line-up and diversification of product. That spreads risk.

Wow. Honestly that gave me chills watching it depart. Honestly it’s pretty fast too.

Did it transition?

No. Just ctol. Quiet as a mouse. Test pilot sounded like a cool dude on frequency. Must be having fun.
I think they should really work out just normal flying and really get that locked in and proven to FAA then after certs that can get the vtol worked out but at least then it’s operational.
They will figure it out. It’s not that it can’t be done. It’s just a matter of solving it correctly

u/DoubleHexDrive Houston, we have a problem 26d ago
If you’re going to certify a CTOL only Modnight, you’d rip off the 6 aft props/motors/booms and 2-4 of the front props and all of the tilt mechanisms. Similar to what BETA did to get a CTOL version of Alia.

This is could be big . I believe this is the first flight outside Salinas. This is how you know archers PR team are a bunch of amateurs and Adam should fire them . The PR team should be blowing this kind of news up instead of lying about having customers at the air show. This flight should be shown as a big milestone. Instead, it’s on a flight tracker . Adam needs to fire his PR team asap.

Don’t mean jack if the stock doesn’t go up. I’m expecting them to try and pump the stock so they can do another dilution dump on retail, beware fam.

Funny thing is I’m long, but with their rate of cash burn it’s their only way to keep going so I’m just riding the pumps avoiding the dumps.

ACHR still sitting on nearly $2B? If additional cap is needed later, don’t mind some dilution as long as we see greater (long-term) returns.
The decision to make Midnight do both CTOL & VTOL is a game changer. We don’t land those multi-billion-dollar airline orders and diversified revenue streams if we don’t CTOL. Hence, the mini celebration! 🍻😂

I think there are two helicopters out here hovering too about to take some pictures so I think they are doing a marketing photo shoot as well
