Stellantis has announced more investment in the Midnight. $150million to be exact.
Archer was founded in 2018 but reckons it will start building the Midnight in the US by 2024 after this investment.
The Midnight has six battery packs and 12 propellers and will fly for 100 miles between charges.
Its top speed is 150mph and once the batteries are flat, they only take 10 minutes to recharge.
The Midnight can seat four passengers as well as a payload of around 450kg.
As an eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) it is able to take off and land vertically like a helicopter.
Archer has already completed its first test flight last year, prompting Stellantis to offer more money and its expertise to help build it too.
