Archer Aviation Inc. announced it will work with REEF to develop plans for urban takeoff and landing sites. REEF, the largest operator of mobility and logistics hubs in the US, transforms urban spaces into neighborhood centers that connect people to locally curated goods, services, and experiences. REEF’s network of over 4,800 parking garages is a multi-million parking space system that covers 70% of North America’s urban population, yet is largely underutilized given the changing nature of urban living in recent years. Archer and REEF will work together to allow Archer’s aircraft to access largely dormant rooftop sites across some of the most densely populated and heavily congested urban city locations in the US, including the company’s two key launch markets of Los Angeles and Miami. REEF’s network lends itself perfectly to Archer’s plans for developing vertiports in dense urban areas. With proximity to high-traffic city hubs, Archer is looking to establish operations in locations that will benefit most from access to the company’s planned urban air mobility network. Using Prime Radiant, the company’s proprietary data science technology, Archer will determine optimal landing sites within REEF’s existing network. The goal is to identify sites that already have the space needed for takeoff, landing and charging, so minimal construction is required for operations to launch.
