Archer Aviation Inc., an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft company, announced its Midnight aircraft and key executives, Adam Goldstein — Archer’s founder and CEO — and Billy Nolen, Archer’s chief safety officer, will take center stage at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s 2023 Aerospace Summit at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. from September 12 to 13, 2023.

The two leaders will discuss Archer and the larger eVTOL aircraft industry’s progress toward the goal of beginning commercial operations in 2025 and reaching scaled operations by 2028.

This marks the first-ever public display of Archer’s Midnight aircraft in the United States. The aircraft made its international debut earlier this year at the Paris Air Show. The last time an eVTOL aircraft was on display at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center was in 2019 at the Uber Elevate Conference.

“This year’s theme for the Global Aerospace Summit, ‘Innovating the Skies, Connecting the World,’ perfectly describes what Archer and our industry is on the doorstep of achieving,” said Goldstein.

“The future of urban air mobility is upon us thanks to the strong support from the whole of the U.S. government as well as the collaboration across the industry, including from mobility leaders like United Airlines, Boeing and Stellantis.”

The Global Aerospace Summit is a premier event in the space and aviation industries, bringing together government leaders and industry experts from across the world. In addition to Archer’s Goldstein and Nolen, speakers include United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby; Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury; American Airlines CEO, Robert Isom; Glenn Youngkin, Governor, Commonwealth of Virginia and many more.
