Archer Aviation Inc. and Garmin announced they have entered into an agreement for Garmin to supply the G3000® integrated flight deck for Midnight. The Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck offers an ideal solution for the Midnight cockpit. The compact and lightweight system offers both an extensive certification pedigree and the configurability needed for Archer to bring its aircraft to market.

The large format displays and intuitive controls will provide pilots with the situational awareness needed to operate Midnight. The extensive reach of Garmin avionics will make the Midnight aircraft familiar to a large swath of pilots. Part of Archer's commercialization strategy is to focus its in-house development on only the key enabling technologies that cannot be sourced from the existing aerospace supply base.

The Garmin relationship further advances Archer's approach of establishing strategic relationships for supply of components already being used on certified aircraft. Archer now has more than 64% of the suppliers for Midnight's bill-of-materials selected. Garmin maintains an exceptional reputation for delivering high-quality avionic technologies to general aviation, business aviation, rotorcraft, advanced air mobility, government and defense, and commercial air carrier customers.

Their extensive experience in the aviation space and demonstrated ability to reliably source flight deck avionic systems was a significant factor in Archer's decision to enter into this relationship.
