Archer Aviation has announced a new partnership with Palantir Technologies Inc. to begin development work on the foundations of AI based aviation technologies.
The two companies have stated an intention to leverage Palantir Foundry, as well as AIP, to accelerate the scaling of Archer’s aircraft manufacturing processes at its dedicated facilities in Georgia and Silicon Valley.
Working closely together, Archer and Palantir will also collaborate on the development of new software solutions, including the creation of new AI based systems aiming to improve air control, movement control and route planning.
The partnership is set to be formalised at a signing ceremony between Palantir co-founder and CEO, Alex Karp, and Archer founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein, at Palantir’s AIPCon.
Alex Karp said:Palantir’s partnership with Archer is redefining the future of flight, making it not only more ecient but also more accessible.
By integrating Palantir's advanced AI capabilities with Archer's innovative approach to aircraft manufacturing and operations, we are setting the stage for a transformative leap in eciency, safety and sustainability.
Adam Goldstein said:While the aviation industry has an unmatched level of safety, much of the legacy technology supporting the industry has only incrementally advanced. AI and software present an inflection point that will shape the future of aviation. We’re proud to be partnering with Dr. Karp and the entire Palantir team to build the AI backbone for the next-generation of aviation.
