Archer Aviation will work with Starlink to bring high-speed connectivity to its air taxis, the company announced today (February 27). The agreement marks Starlink’s entry into the air mobility sector.
Under the agreement, Archer will install Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite internet system into its Midnight aircraft and conduct testing. The system is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity during Midnight’s air taxi operations. Starlink’s LEO constellation is engineered to provide consistent, high-bandwidth coverage even at low flight altitudes and in dense urban environments where cellular coverage can be unreliable.
Beyond passenger internet access, Archer plans to use Starlink to enable communications between Midnight, pilots and engineering teams on the ground, helping to support the company’s air taxi connectivity infrastructure. Archer and Starlink also plan to work together to develop a connectivity platform that can help power Archer’s future development of autonomous aircraft.
