San Martin, San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco. Working closely with the FAA and state and local partners, this
series of ights set the stage for Midnight to then begin ying in the Los Angeles area and conducting operations
under the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) in Texas, Florida and New York.

"On Friday, Midnight ew between two California communities in a fraction of the time the trip would take by car.
That’s the point of the ‘No Roads’ tour: bring Midnight to cities across America, y real routes, and build the
operational muscle for eIPP operations and LA28 alongside the FAA. Every route we y makes the next one easier.
By the time the world comes to LA for the Games, people will be ready for it,” said Adam Goldstein, Founder and
CEO of Archer.

Archer’s goal with its Midnight aircraft is to transform urban travel, replacing 60–90 minute commutes with quiet,
all-electric ights that dramatically reduce travel times compared to traditional ground transportation. Archer’s all-
electric Midnight air taxi is designed around the urban air mobility use case with the ability to conduct rapid back-
to-back ights with zero operating emissions.
