>Archer Aviation’s Midnight just completed a test flight reaching 7,000ft, maintaining altitude, and covering 45 miles at over 120 mph. While designed for urban flight at 1,500–4,000ft, this shows the aircraft’s ability to operate at higher altitudes potentially expanding its use in busy air corridors or high-elevation cities. As FAA certification approaches, the bigger question is how these milestones shape the timeline for real commercial air taxi service. Are we looking at urban air mobility scaling sooner than expected, or will certification and infrastructure challenges slow things down?
