Archer Aviation

Archer Aviation appears in The Future of Everything: What CEOs of Circle, CrowdStrike & More See Coming in 2026 through CEO Adam Goldstein’s discussion of eVTOL commercialization. The source says certification is the hardest part of bringing electric air taxis to market, with early U.S. city launches, public-comfort flights, safety redundancy, and eventual autonomy all depending on regulators and air-traffic infrastructure.

The episode also moves Archer into defense technology. Archer has a partnership with Anduril on Project Nix, described as an autonomous collaborative attack helicopter drone intended to deliver attack-helicopter-like capability at lower cost without risking pilots. That makes Archer a bridge between eVTOL certification ramp and Defense AI Procurement.
