Today's manual air traffic control cannot support scaled urban air mobility
“You couldn't do that today, even if we could put, deploy all the vehicles, because the way the air traffic control system is built is it's extremely manual. And that's created this sort of endless cycle of you know, manual you know, instructions to pilots, man…”

Archer reached piloted flight milestones in half the time of competitors

Goldstein: Full-stack eVTOL models are too operationally complex to be profitable
“So the challenge with being an OEM, and an operator, and, a demand aggregator, an infrastructure player, you know, a pilot training company, a maintenance company, that's a lot of stuff to do at once. It's very hard to actually build a real business that will …”

Goldstein: Airplane startups require at least $1 billion in capital
“To build airplanes, it's extremely expensive. You're not even in the game without a billion dollars. Because it takes a huge team for many, many years to really develop core technologies that can be safe, reliable, and ultimately, like, put into production.”

Goldstein: Competitor weaponized the government by framing Archer engineer as a spy
“If, in America, I didn't think it was possible for a competitor to weaponize the government to come after you. And we saw that. It was unbelievable. It was you know, one of my engineers was set up to look like he was like a Chinese spy, and it was totally fake…”

Goldstein: Scaled electric engines enable multi-propeller redundancy in eVTOLs
“There are multiple sets of propellers, and the you know, ability for electric engines to be scaled really far down gives you an ability to build an aircraft with lots of redundancy, and that's what those multiple sets of engines propellers really represent.”
