Archer Partners With Formula 1 To Be At Select Grands Prix Events; Will Consider Future Integration Of eVTOL Air Taxi Services At Grand Prix Events

The partnership will explore opportunities such as dedicated air taxi drop-off and pick-up locations at circuits and the inclusion of air taxi services as part of Formula 1’s hospitality and ticketing offerings. As Archer’s commercial eVTOL air taxi operations come online in F1 markets, the goal is to provide fans with an option to skip traffic between major airports, business hubs, and other key destinations on their way to and from Grand Prix events.

Archer’s planned US air taxi networks map closely to Formula 1’s race locations, including Miami and Texas where Archer has unveiled planned infrastructure networks. Internationally, Archer’s commercial roll out plans across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe provide a foundation for future service in additional race cities around the world. Midnight was on display for fans at the United States Grand Prix in Austin as an Official Supporter of F1 and will again be on display at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix later this year.

The power-to-weight demands of eVTOL are comparable to F1. Similar to an F1 car, Archer’s electric propulsion, advanced composites and aerodynamics are engineered as one system. Every gram of structure earns its place, and every aerodynamic surface is designed around the powertrain it wraps. Through the partnership, the two organizations aim to give F1 fans around the world a firsthand look at Archer’s innovative technology.
