Archer Aviation stakes its future on United pact and electric aircraft
The company said it generated about $0.3 million in FY 2025 revenue while posting a net loss near $618.2 million as it funded R&D and early milestones.
Archer Aviation is positioning its urban air mobility business around electric aircraft development, contrasting its speculative growth path with the steady economics of established airlines, according to an analysis by The Motley Fool.
The piece says Archer Aviation’s commercial strategy includes a conditional purchase agreement with United Airlines for up to $1.5 billion in its Midnight aircraft. It also cites partnerships including work with the U.S. Air Force and a manufacturing relationship with Stellantis to support production of its electric vertical takeoff-and-landing vehicles.
Financially, the outlet reports that in FY 2025 Archer Aviation generated revenue of approximately $300,000 as it moved through early development and testing. Over the same period, it reported a net loss of nearly $618.2 million, alongside nearly negative $511.7 million in free cash flow.
The analysis also points to balance sheet metrics as of December 2025, including a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 0.1x and a current ratio around 19.9x, framed as indicators of how the company is funding its pre-commercial stage.
