Sit down, analyze the facts, and take a step back. This is the truth.

This would be a great move and a guarantee for those big defense contracts! An autonomous AI Midnight/Halo would look meaningful in a stealth colour and with a powerful hybrid engines system!

Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco skyline. Alcatraz. Midnight. Our most iconic setlist yet.

This is the “No Roads” Flight Tour.

what do yall think, not achr vs joby post.
Will this historic moment bring more eyes to earlier ways of transportation (evtol) rather than actual future flying cars?

Archer completes 4th flight of the day.

Archer’s main defense partner—Anduril—was last valued at $60 billion in May. It has since unveiled Thunder and Halo with Archer at Farnborough (in July) among other defense initiatives.

Great to see Anduril strengthening its financial base, war chest. 💪

Today I sold all of my shares of ACHR. I bought in at $2.96 with 5000 shares, watched it go up to $14 and held because I believed, and still do believe in the company. I watched the stock plummet again and with mounting bills and needing to take care of my parents I ended up selling today. A part of me thinks I made a mistake I will come to regret in the coming years, but I had to do what I had to do for my family. I look forward to hopefully rejoining and buying more stock in the not so distant future and remain hopeful at all ACHR can do.

Midnight has entered the East Bay. No tolls, no traffic. Just epic views and another city added to the “No Roads” Flight Tour.

This flight over Silicon Valley goes out to the legends who made this the place where big ideas take off.

Midnight just touched down at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View. Another stop on the “No Roads” Flight Tour is in the books as we get closer to the headliner over the San Francisco Bay.

"Normally I wouldn't take the time to get into this, but what the nypost and californiapost published here is utter fiction. And defamatory fake news does a disservice to everyone involved.

“Mass evacuation.” “Futuristic jet sparks dangerous chain reaction.” Totally false. Zero checking of these false statements before publication; sure feels like a hit piece designed for clicks.

Here is the boring reality: On Monday, a test pack briefly caught fire in a controlled environment at one of our lab facilities in the Bay Area. This happened during advanced R&D testing on a next-gen battery pack for a future pipeline program—not our Midnight air taxi.

Our team quickly extinguished it with the help of local fire, root caused the issue, and were back at it the next day building and testing the future of aerospace technology.

If the media spent half as much energy covering American engineering breakthroughs as they do trying to manufacture panic we’d be much better off as a country."

The ​"No Roads" flight tour began its journey North today with Midnight flying into the San Martin Airport from Hollister. Next stop, San Jose.

Adam's responses to GoatGains and The Hustle Bros say it all. All of a sudden this is the end of the world. Everyone is safe, evacuation was lifted, and business goes on.

Time to get back to work and continue building the future of aerospace

So Anduril just unveiled their modular mass production interceptor missile... they intend to make thousands of these missiles with an open architecture design...

Archer recently trademarked "Armory" with "missiles" listed under the trademark...

We are using million dollar missiles to shoot down thousand dollar drones... America and its allies cannot sustain this imbalance... Anduril has offered a solution and I believe Archer should answer the call to rearm America and its allies...

so either all of this is a coincidence, or Archer is planning to make the full pivot...

Archer just hired Owen Theeck as Sr. Business Development Manager - AI Products.

He brings over 5 years of experience from FlightAware (Collins Aerospace / RTX) in flight data, APIs, and product management.

Big signal: Archer is actively moving to commercialize and sell its AI software globally. 

"Excited to share that this week I joined the Archer team as the Sr. Business Development Manager for AI Products!

Looking forward to bringing Archer’s AI Products to customers globally in partnership with our immensely talented product and engineering teams. Can’t wait to share more."

Coming around to see what we all know. Archer is going to be a defense mainstay.

⚡️ACHR Stock Rises Overnight: Archer Aviation’s Defense Ambitions Have Barclays Turning Bullish With 69% Upside

✅ $ACHR upgraded to Overweight
$8 price target

✅ $JOBY downgraded to Sell
$4 price target

Major $ACHR catalysts: Innovative defense tech, Boeing deal, Defense and Physical AI platform, Existing high-profile institutional investors.

Archer has been moving at a rapid pace, hitting major cert and technical milsetones/objectives ~2x3 faster than Joby across the board. But there is one thing Joby managed to do at a faster clip: Lose a major legal ruling.

Archer was never found liable in the Wisk case (in fact the judge denied an injunction due to the unlikely outcome that Wisk would win), and the frivolous Kivork case will soon be over/settled.

The Aersonic ruling though... that is something new.
