Archer and Anduril have announced a partnership to develop a hybrid VTOL military aircraft for the US military. The Air Force is already one of the main investors in Archer’s eVTOL aircraft. Another major investor is United Airlines (which is also one of the first to order the future Boom Overture supersonic passenger jet currently in development). The think tank, Rand, recently recommended that the United States Air Force invest into investing in eVTOL aircraft and said they have a number of uses (mostly transportation around bases and not for deployment).
