Archer Aviation is currently developing and testing the Midnight EVTOL, an electrically powered aircraft using 12 rotors which can operate out of helipads and rapidly carry passengers to destinations around a metropolitan area in a similar fashion to Helicopters but quieter, cleaner and easier to fly.
I visited their facility in San Jose, California, where they designed and build their engines, batteries and avionics. I got a tour from Archer's CTO, Tom Muniz who gave me a great deep dive on the high performance engines and batteries.
And of course, I just *had* to fly the simulator.
