Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein said the company is laser-focused on getting its air taxis certified and flying by the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. "It's always been an ambitious goal," he told CNBC's Phil LeBeau on Monday at the Farnborough Air Show in the U.K. "It's still an ambitious goal, but we're certainly going to try our hardest to get there." Archer on Monday unveiled its Thunder autonomous vertical takeoff and landing defense craft with Anduril, designed to accompany crewed aircraft and helicopters. The companies first joined forces in 2024. Archer is widely known for creating electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft aimed at cutting emissions and traffic in crowded urban areas. However, the technology has faced a series of regulatory and infrastructure hurdles that have pushed back certification timelines.
