Integrated eVTOL Pilot Training Ecosystem

Archer Midnight XR Training Experience

A Fully Integrated eVTOL Pilot Training Ecosystem

Introducing the Archer Midnight XR Training Experience, a multi-modal training system that blends virtual reality (VR), desktop, and mixed reality (MR) environments into one seamless, certifiable flight training solution. Developed in partnership with Archer Aviation and powered by Vertex’s adaptive XR architecture, this experience includes a VR-based walkaround maintenance and aircraft familiarization trainer, self-paced desktop trainer with embedded courseware, and our high-fidelity mixed reality flight simulation training device (MR FSTD). Built to meet FAA and GCAA certification requirements, and scalable for commercial fleet growth, this ecosystem supports initial qualification, fleet readiness, and the emerging AAM workforce. Explore how we’re redefining pilot training from ramp to certification.
