Stellantis und Archer feiern Europa-Premiere des Flugzeugs Midnight eVTOL* auf der Paris Air Show 2023

Amsterdam und Santa Clara, Kalifornien, 9. Juni 2023 – Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) und Stellantis N.V. werden an der 54. Ausgabe der Paris Air Show 2023 (19. bis 25. Juni) teilnehmen, um über die Fortschritte bei der Weiterentwicklung der Produktion des Midnight eVTOL-Flugzeugs von Archer zu berichten. Die Markteinführung ist für 2025 geplant.
 

Das Midnight-Flugzeug von Archer wird das erste eVTOL-Flugzeug auf der Paris Air Show sein, das im Zentrum der Air Mobility-Veranstaltung in Halle 5 am Flughafen Le Bourget steht. Die Paris Air Show ist den neuesten Innovationen und aufkommenden Technologien im Bereich eVTOL gewidmet und bringt die Hauptakteure dieses Sektors zusammen. Die an drei Tagen stattfindenden Gesprächsrunden thematisieren die Entwicklung der fortschrittlichen Luftmobilität und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Zukunft der Luft- und Raumfahrt.

Die in der eVTOL-Flugzeugindustrie einzigartige Partnerschaft zwischen Archer und Stellantis wird die jeweiligen Stärken und das Know-how der beiden Unternehmen nutzen, um das Midnight-Flugzeug in großem Stil auf den Markt zu bringen. Als Ergänzung zu Archers Spitzenteam von eVTOL-Flugzeug-, Elektroantriebs- und Zertifizierungsexperten steuert Stellantis fortschrittliche Fertigungstechnologie und -expertise, erfahrenes Fachpersonal und Kapital zu dieser Partnerschaft bei. Diese Kombination soll eine schnelle Skalierung der Produktion ermöglichen, um die Kommerzialisierungspläne von Archer zu verwirklichen. Gleichzeitig kann Archer dadurch hunderte von Millionen Dollar an Ausgaben während der Anlaufphase der Produktion einsparen, wodurch der Kommerzialisierungsweg weiter gestärkt wird.
