Archer Aviation has successfully completed a series of city-to-city flights in California using its all-electric Midnight eVTOL aircraft. The flights connected key Bay Area locations, including Palo Alto to San Francisco and San Jose to Oakland, covering distances of up to 40 miles. This achievement represents a major milestone for the urban air mobility sector, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities in a real-world urban environment.
