## Overview
Archer Aviation develops electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for air taxi services and autonomous defense platforms, including the Midnight piloted air taxi and the Halo/Thunder autonomous hybrid-electric VTOL platform co-developed with Anduril.

Archer Aviation announced agreements to acquire three Boeing-owned companies—Wisk Aero, Insitu, and SkyGrid—in exchange for Boeing taking a strategic equity stake in Archer. The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2026, subject to agreed-upon closing conditions including regulatory approvals. Insitu alone contributes over $200 million in annual revenue across 35 countries. The acquisition will expand Archer's portfolio to include piloted air taxis (Midnight), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in Groups 2–5 (Insitu), purpose-built AI for aviation (ZEE and SkyGrid's airspace management), and autonomous flight technology (Wisk's autonomy and flight controls).
