"Archer Aviation of California, developer of a four-passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing [eVTOL] aircraft, says it intends to build an air taxi network connecting Miami, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale, with "low-noise" electric air taxi flights. Related Ross, led by billionaire real estate developer and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, and Dragon Global, a lead investment firm in the Magic City Innovation District, a mixed-use development in the Little Haiti neighborhood, would help develop vertiports for the planned network, Archer said in a statement."
"The goal of Archer's planned network is to connect major population and business centers, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach via 10- to 20-minute electric flights, bypassing ground-based traffic and unlocking a new mobility ecosystem in the air that is safe and efficient. The network is also intended to offer efficient travel options between the region's three major international airports: Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and Palm Beach International Airport, as well as several strategic general aviation airports in the area."
An alliance including Archer Aviation, Related Ross, Dragon Global and several South Florida airports plans an eVTOL air taxi network linking Miami, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Stuart. Archer intends to deploy a four-passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft offering low-noise, 10- to 20-minute flights to bypass ground congestion. The network aims to connect Miami International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Palm Beach International airports, general aviation fields, and key heliports including Hard Rock Stadium. Related Ross and Dragon Global will help develop vertiports across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties to support the service.
