SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR), a leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, announced today that its Midnight aircraft and key executives, Adam Goldstein, Archer’s founder and CEO, and Billy Nolen, Archer’s Chief Safety Officer, will take center stage at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s 2023 Aerospace Summit at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. on September 12-13, 2023.

The Global Aerospace Summit is the premier event in the space and aviation industries, bringing together government leaders and industry experts from across the world.
