Archer Aviation Inc. ACHR is building its future growth by expanding its manufacturing capabilities to meet the expected demand for electric aircraft. The company is investing in production facilities to support higher output once its aircraft receives regulatory approval.

A key part of this strategy is setting up manufacturing systems that are efficient and easy to repeat at scale.
