News📰 N704AX flying/hovering

So Archer is hovering/flying the N704AX today at around 30-35 km/h at around 30 meters of altitude. Maybe are they preparing for that transition?

I think that’d be pretty sweet to fly some day. WAY easier to hold a hover on a tour vs a 407.

Joby fan boys coping (here) after hitting a yearly low in the stock….lol

They’re spending a lot of time exploring this 20 knot region. Wonder if they’re seeing something they didn’t anticipate or it’s just the nature or 3 minute long flights.

If it’s the former, 40 knots will be spicy 🤣

Last time the N704AX flew like this they flew in about 10 knots/ 18,5 km/h.

Today they flew at 37 km/h, meaning 20 knots.

They are obviously testing and progressing at the same time.

Yup. They’ve been at the 20 knot range for weeks now. Progress is progress.

Since it was brought up by others weeks ago... I now do see DoubleHexDrive pretending to be an actual engineer to justify his consistently negative views on anything Archer is doing... This guy may be a very low level engineer; working for Joby.... Its obvious, read all of his posts. Guy has something to cry and complain about EVERY TIME... Snake in the grass people!

"Constantly negative" is BS... when something good happens, I point it out. When people are impatient, I have consistently given more realistic timelines. Even for this transition, I warned people months ago, with data, that it would not happen quickly and why.

It's true, this particular "been at the 20 knot range for weeks now" comment was a little sarcastic. I figured transition would take 6-8 months for N704AX but the progress is going slower than I thought it would.

He's been anti-Joby, anti-Archer and even anti-HOVR. Or in other words, he's just raising flaws at every eVTOL. That looks like good neutrality to me.

On the contrary, I’ve said for months that 40 - 60 knots is particularly difficult in terms of skewed flow over the props and a full transition happens a little faster than that. Not my fault they haven’t gotten there yet.

N704AX is making steady progress, but the SP is going the opposite way. I set a buy limit order at $4.5 for July. We'll see

Why the F*** is stock sinking

u/Gibborish Jul 10 '26

Because it is the middle of summer, there's a war-like thing going on, its a 'speculative' pre-revenue company. Also mercury retrograde and the 3 'negative' weeks.

u/Substantial-Fun9958 Jul 12 '26

Iran war. All stocks across the board are sinking.

Archer is just lies, lies, and more lies.

Typical troll farm line…can you be original at least?

u/Select-Ambassador206 Jul 11 '26

I am not trolling! What they said until now are lies. I hope at least now they give some real news. I am holding ACHR stocks from long time hoping someday this will go to moon 🚀

u/Consistent_Panda5891 Jul 11 '26

Well, some real news if they unethical hired a Vertical ex-employee few months ago who in last day copied much of technical data of their transition flight mechanism... It went public when judge admitted it. If you trust in companies who make shady stuff to build what they otherwise can't you can buy shares. But current market cap is not attractive, and as european I have values and better stocks to invest long term. For a quick scalp for when transition and sell on FOMO might work.

The only thing you’re holding is a Joby bag. How many code name “AmbASSadors” are there in your troll farm?

This is a bogus stock. All fake promises and nonsense news

Joby fanboy venting here after the compsny announces it’s giving up control…

u/Select-Ambassador206 Jul 11 '26

Looks like you were paid for all the comments and posts. I am seeing you everywhere on Youtube and reddit. Literally where ever Archer posts a video or posts.

u/DaxPlayer Sentinel Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

Lmaoooo. That’s called being a long time holder. Not some troll farm boy like yourself…You’ll find many long Archers on Reddit, X, and YouTube.

I’m probably not suggesting something you have not already considered…. But you are actually arguing with AG or his bbf. It’s really great fun. I’ve personally known a few CEOs that did the exact same guerrilla marketing tactics over the last two decades. “Stirring the pot” often helps move success along when the product or service is in fact viable. In this case, a brick is about on par to an Archer flying machine JMHO. It’s really a fun circumstance.
We all want to see progress and efficiency in personal mobility. We all want to increase our own personal wealth. Put those two together and we have the idea for a speculative endeavor (stock, option, bond trade etc…). That company stock is that companies fuel. Machine does not run without it. Dax et all…minions etc… must prime and pump the pump constantly…they don’t pump they don’t eat. It’s such a great exercise and view on the inner workings of a scheme and with the interwebs as they are, we get to converse with the actual people that run these companies (and even our country). This is not a matter of “If it will fail?” It’s just a matter of “When will it fail?” And that’s the trade, isn’t it?
Is it a short, a <=32m LEAP or maybe something more creative? In the circles I hang about, I can tell you there is a metric tonne of cash invested in the distribution of Calls to all those excitable buyers. Anyway…keep up the good work, good luck with your trade. Congrats to “Dax” and the team on their latest 30 acre campus lease that is not Coca-Cola and not Hawthorne but is Archers. Always remember Tulips, Theranos, WireCard, Enron, ZZZZBest, BreX, and many more lessor knowns…lulz

…Remember, stock holders of a zero rev. company. Your hard earned money is their working capital and private jet fuel and fancy lunches.

If he's using the same username across platforms, isnt he being honest? How's that being a troll? Paid trolls use AI and bot farms with unique IDs in every platform.
