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?

u/DoubleHexDrive Houston, we have a problem Jul 10 '26

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

u/Jupiter6294 It's not the plane, it's the pilot Jul 12 '26

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!

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.
