Ready to skip the 90-minute commute? In this episode of Opening Bid Unfiltered, Yahoo Finance’s Brian Saucy sits down with Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein to deep dive into the revolutionary world of eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft.
Archer is building a next-generation aviation company for both civil and defense applications. On the civil side, their goal is simple: save people time. Their electric aircraft, designed to carry a pilot plus four passengers, can turn a 90-minute urban drive into a quick 5-to-10 minute flight. For defense, they are developing autonomous, low-cost, and unmanned solutions.
