Archer today announced that it has selected Bristol as the home of its UK Engineering Hub, which will support some of the company’s engineering initiatives across both its commercial and defence programmes.
“With a long history of aerospace innovation and a deep well of talent, Bristol offers an ideal location for Archer’s UK hub. Since Archer’s announcement in December of its plans for this UK hub, it has received hundreds of applications and has begun hiring engineers to help Archer deliver the next era of advanced aerospace and defense,” said the company in a press release. “This workforce will help drive Archer’s local collaboration with Anduril UK and GKN, initially focused on the companies’ joint work in support of the British Army’s Project NYX and the Ministry of Defence’s Land Autonomous Collaborative Platform programme. “
Archer’s defence work is focused on its strategic partnership with Anduril, which selected Archer as its exclusive partner to develop a hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft tailored for the US and allied defense applications.
