Archer Taps Palantir's AI to Supercharge Electric Aircraft Production and Flight Tech

On Thursday, Archer Aviation Inc. ACHR and Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR collaborated to build the AI foundation for the future of advanced aviation technologies.

The companies plan to leverage Palantir Foundry and artificial intelligence platform to accelerate the scaling of Archer’s aircraft manufacturing capabilities at its Georgia and Silicon Valley facilities, advance the development of software solutions, and drive innovation across the entire value chain.

The partnership would include developing advanced AI software to improve various aviation systems, including air traffic control, movement control, and route planning, to boost industry efficiency, safety, and affordability.
