for an evtol this is a fantastic demo. A complete flight without edits. At least, hopefully, this will raise the bar for the industry from 3 second jump cut edits of flights of unknown duration or possibly multiple flights edited together. I tip my hat to you archer.

if starships really offers earth to earth transport, these eVTOLs would be the perfect taxi between a bustling area and the launch tower!

Amazing progress and work, can't wait to fly in one one day!

Amazing flight. So clean and smooth, seems like its 100th such flight and not the 1st. and what an amazing job by the people who shot it so well, including the final shot with the team in the background. Kudos!

Absolutely fantastic! Groundbreaking technology. From the Wright brothers in 1903 to this modern marvel. What an impressive story of vision & achievement.

Amazing work guys, I've been following your progress from the first version to where you are now. Congratulations !

Nice transition!! 🎉 Also thank you for uncut version. I felt a great sense of presence.

Way to go!! So exciting!!

What a cool video. It's happening. Seeing the angle of the rotors is awesome.

Been following and investing in Archer for years now. Keep up the great work!

Nice job! Finally a full flight video!!!

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

You are first in the future story of urban air mobility. I wish, I will manage a vertiport with your eVTOL one day.

Awesome!!

First full size eVTOL video I've seen out of ground effect and in full forward flight mode. Congratulations.

I really like the insert of prop angle and speed😊…smooth… very smooth!! I can’t wait to start/finish trip with Midnight

Just confirms my decision when I bought stock in Archer a month ago.

awesome, congrats!

Great work ! Really exciting!

Very cool. When do we get to hear it instead of the music?

Can you imagine how loud 12 electric propellers of that size are? If noise levels scale up from drones, we will likely have restrictions in urban or residential areas.

Cool video. Question: any clips without the music? I'd like to hear what they sound like. Are they loud?

Beautiful flight. Great display video. I want one!

That amazing. I was just passing by the salinas airport when I saw 2 planes flying right on top of us

Bravo Archer. Bambing

Soaring like an eagle 🦅

13.6.24, fantastic for rapid urban commute. Hopefully will see them soon in commercial use.

Any info on the reason the aft lift fans just windmill in forward flight and aren't also used for thrust? Or are they being used as flight controls in a similar manner to an auto gyro?

Also, what is the sound of all those prop going at once. Its got to be noisy outside and probably inside too.

凄いです👏👏👏。 KZreadのArcherに「いいね👍」ボタンがたくさんついてる。ほんと嬉しい✨✨✨。

I would want to see a test to see how the pilot recovers from 2 or 3 props failing. What if the failure is from one side of the plane.

Nice transition! I became an investor today.

I am fully convinced this going to be succeed, congratulation!

Would love to hear the command center communications and mission control. Get some real world audio. Some radio-coms dialogue.

What does it sound like? Let's hear it..

Stupid question: why dont the rear motors become pusher props once enough lift is achieved so they arent just dangling there unused?

I guess safety issues. It’s much more controlled like that.

I don’t understand why there is the range limit. What is the problem to land in the middle at some station. And replace the battery ? ?? Theoretically you can fly even 1000km or more. As long as you provide battery replacement stations

@ali460ful

You can even design the motors with connectors to 2 different batteries And stop somewhere on the way and hover while a drone bring your the new batteries and replace them in the air. Like air refuelling

да, я бы сделал лучше. V-образный кили я бы сделал перевернутыми, но с большим углом между ними, и разместил бы на них заднее шассии, как у американского БПЛА MQ-1. Пришлос бы усиливать заднюю часть, что несколько утяжелит конструкцию, но зато в нее можно больше грузить за счет большего внутреннего объема. На этих же задних килях можно сделать дополнительные винты-импеллеры с двойной функцией - руления на малых скоростях в режиме самолета, и балансировки и тяги в режиме вертолета. Это позволит уменьшить количество винтов на крыльях с 12 до 10 или даже 8 за счет увеличения диаметра роторов. Ну и еще пару изменений. Авторы данной конструкции Полдень сделали как им проще, но не как эффективнее.

IS THAT NOISE COMING OUT OF MY SPEAKERS THERE TO WARN PEOPLE IN CASE THEY DON'T HEAR THE SILENT CRAFT, OR WAS IT JUST A POOR CHOICE FROM THE EDITOR? THUMBS DOWN.

Fin y how the only sound these AAM is music. Clearly, you are attempting to silence objections to new noise from extremely low flying aircraft.

"on therun etc" -it is not 'weird' that I take an interest in this, I have spent a working lifetime in pursuit of the same goal (air mobility for utility personal use including in urban and SUBurban environments giving door to door travel - essentially the 'flying car' vision , labelling these battery powered VTOL aircraft that are only able to go from (air)port to (air) port ,even if called vertiports but doing the same function as 'carpark for flying machines' essentially as 'flying cars' or even 'flying taxis' is misleading and deceptive in that they do not replicate the door to door service of a taxi or the individual freedom and convenience of a motor car . As to the 'sluggish' staggering around etc - look at a normal airplane in terms of where it is after first starting the engine (miles away while they are still establishing a sedate hover..... or look at a video of real MANOUVERING ,say a flight demonstration at Oshkosh or even a mild aerobatic routine --the rates of roll and ability to throw an airplane around under full control compared to this "Biden walk " analogy -it is a matter of DEGREE not just being under some sort of sluggish control at an arthritic sort of pace (written as one reasonably advanced in years and knowing the difference first hand....) Billions of dollars in and this pathetic result out is not praiseworthy - whilst spending a million plus dollars every day how long do you think it will be before they recover that expenditure from airfares (needing say five million dollars in airfares PER DAY to maybe break even...) Maybe you are a shareholder, can you reveal your relationship to this field or this aircraft to give some idea of your position and standing (?)

High cost per seat mile like with helicopter, only for the rich, not for the masses, not a replacement for ground car, risky stock.

None of these videos have sound, when you listen to the horrendous sound these things do you won't want to be close to it, let alone ride in it

Why would electric motors produce sound like fuel engines?? It isn’t serious And I really don’t understand why someone will prefer to fly in a chopper or airplane with dangerous motors that can have many failures ( usually only two that are connected to the same fuel storage ore electric system) and not in this safe evtol that has multiple motors with different batteries for each of them in a way that makes failure almost impossible) Any that takeoff and landing so easy and controlled way compared to airplanes.

The propellers create the vast majority of the noise and must produce about 125% of the weight as thrust a fixed wing aircraft might need to produce only 25% of the weight in thrust (and much less weight than the heavy batteries in evtol) and around 5% in cruise. More power equals more noise.....

​@@rossnolan7283 You're conveniently disregarding the use case for eVTOLs. They are not replacing airplanes and they are not meant to. Investors don't care about the weight or noise at this early stage of development, and passengers will not even consider those factors. Helicopters are loud too, and dangerous, and people still ride in them. You're just throwing strawman numbers around. Nobody cares. The question is whether they're viable to safely fly into areas too small for airports, and it looks like they probably are. The noise will be worked out as the technology matures. Regardless, investors keep funding their development, so you're just shouting into the void and I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve.

Well, if a fixed wing aircraft can do the same, or far better, job than a heavy,slow,dangerous evtol then why would you want the evtol? The only 'plus' for these contraptions is to avoid the need for a runway (at extreme cost in infrsstructure and on board power, noise, low range rtc etc) - there is a better way to achieve that end- ATOL - which is why i take thr tome to try to stop at least a few lemmings from taking the leap (of faith or doom....)​@ontheruntonowhere

It did NOT transition - rear props never stopped and Note that they are four bladed and so could not stop without excessive drag (or pitch up and loss of control - too slow for aerodynamic control. A huge scam not masked by stupid soundtrack or telephoto

Of course they didn't fully stop, air flow keeps them moving. That's why the outside props are spinning fairly quickly and the inside props are barely moving. And it didn't look like it went out of control at any point to me, maybe you're seeing something I'm not

It ascended, maneuvered and landed without incident. It didn't 'stagger around'. It was quite graceful, in fact. As a prototype it's obviously not making a profit so that's an unfair point to judge it on. I'm not sure why you people are always griping about the sound. It's an eVTOL, they're loud, what are you going to do? Helicopters are loud too. It is touching that you care so much about billionaire investor hags though.
