Archer targets urban commuters, city planners, and transportation networks, offering eco-friendly solutions to improve urban mobility. Unlike traditional transportation methods, Archer's eVTOLs provide a sustainable alternative that reduces environmental impact. The company generates revenue through the sale of its aircraft and may also offer air taxi services in the future.
