Anduril and Archer Unveil Jointly-Developed Autonomous VTOL Platform For Commercial and Defense Applications
Anduril and Archer today unveiled a jointly-developed series hybrid-electric VTOL platform built to serve both defense and commercial applications.
Anduril showcased the defense variant, Thunder, a Group 5 autonomous attack rotorcraft specifically designed to multiply the combat power of current and next-generation crewed attack and assault aircraft.
The two companies have built what they believe to be a step change in vertical lift: a new class of autonomous aircraft with the speed, range, payload and operating cost that defense and commercial missions demand.
Archer plans to announce the first commercial customers later this week.
