Archer’s new Washington D.C. office is located at 500 L’Enfant
Plaza near FAA and DOT headquarters and will include a display area
where Archer will showcase its leading electric aviation technology
to visiting policymakers and world leaders.
“This strategic move is part of our proactive approach to
progressing through the regulatory process here in the U.S. as
efficiently as possible so that we can help ensure our country
continues to define the future of global aviation,” said Billy
Nolen, Archer Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer. “Showcasing our
leading eVTOL aircraft technologies to leaders in the nation’s
capital will help bring to life our vision to transform cities by
reducing traffic with safe, quiet electric air taxis.”
Prior to joining Archer, Melissa McCaffrey led Overair’s
Government Affairs division where she headed their government
relations and policy strategy, advocating at all levels of
government for key positions on policies and regulations in support
of the advanced air mobility industry. Before Overair, Melissa
spent over 10 years at the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association,
the world's largest aviation membership association, where she held
positions of increasing responsibility over her tenure with her
last role focusing on managing their government affairs policy and
advocacy. Mrs. McCaffrey holds a B.S. in Air Traffic Management
from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and has been a licensed
pilot for over 20 years.
Archer continues to tap Invariant, led by Heather Podesta, and
JTR Strategies, led by Jenny Rosenberg, to lobby on key federal
issues relating to commercializing the advanced air mobility
industry. Invariant is the nation's largest woman-owned government
relations firm headquartered in Washington D.C. Prior to founding
JTR Strategies, Mrs. Rosenberg served for more than a decade in
senior-level policy and public affairs positions, including at the
DOT as the Acting Assistant Secretary for Aviation and
International Affairs and as an Assistant Administrator at the FAA,
and is an alum of the Senate Commerce and Appropriations
Committees, and the House Oversight Committee.
Today’s announcement comes as Archer continues to rapidly
advance through the U.S. regulatory process for certifying its
Midnight aircraft, reinforcing its progress on the path toward
commercial flight operations. Archer’s goal is to transform urban
travel, replacing 60–90-minute commutes by car with estimated 10-20
minute electric air taxi flights that are safe, sustainable, low
noise, and cost-competitive with ground transportation. Archer’s
Midnight is a piloted, four-passenger aircraft designed to perform
rapid back-to-back flights with minimal charge time between
flights.
