Archer Aviation's Flying Taxis Take Flight in LA

Silicon Valleys Archer Aviation is revolutionizing urban transportation by acquiring control of Hawthorne Municipal Airport in Los Angeles for over one hundred twenty-five million dollars. The company, developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft or eVTOLs, aims to transport small groups across busy urban areas, making air travel more local and affordable. Los Angeles, with its urban sprawl and congested freeways, is an ideal test market for these air taxis. Archer plans to use the airport for testing and as a future air taxi hub, expecting mass use within ten to fifteen years.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
