Archer Aviation secures $850 million to lead the electric air taxi revolution, backed by Trump’s latest tech initiative.
Archer Aviation just announced a massive $850 million funding round, powered by new momentum from executive orders recently signed by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The orders aim to supercharge America’s push into futuristic travel tech focusing on electric air taxis, supersonic aircraft, and defense systems against hostile drones.
This funding round follows a strong year for Archer. Earlier in 2024, the company raised an additional $300 million, led by institutional investors including BlackRock (BLK). Now, with this fresh $850 million boost, Archer is firmly in the spotlight as one of the top players in the race for air mobility dominance.
And they’re not just raising money they’re making moves.
Archer revealed plans
In April, Archer revealed exciting plans to launch an air taxi network in New York City in collaboration with United Airlines. This bold initiative will offer passengers a faster, cleaner, and futuristic way to fly above the city’s congested streets.
But that’s not all. Archer has also been officially selected as the air taxi provider for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, a high-profile spotlight that could transform the public’s perception of flying taxis from science fiction into everyday reality.
With Trump’s policy backing, growing investor confidence, and major partnerships in place, Archer Aviation’s takeoff is no longer just a dream it’s happening now.
“Electric air taxis, supersonic planes, and aerial defense all in one executive vision. And Archer is leading the charge.”
