Archer Aviation, the Nikola of the Skies
ACHR short: Midnight aircraft fundamentally flawed/uncertifiable vs competitor Joby. No conforming aircraft yet, missed all flight test timelines since 2022. Forced redesign from 2-blade to 4-blade rear props indicates major issues. $6B order book inflated w/ questionable partners incl defunct Air Chateau. Empty Georgia factory despite production claims. Too noisy (80-90 dBA hover vs Joby's 65 dBA), overweight at 7500lbs vs Joby's 5300lbs, inferior range/speed. Defense pivot appears desperate given 2+ year lag behind Joby on all metrics.
