Archer, Palantir “to Build AI Foundation for Future Of Next-Gen Aviation Technologies”
Archer Aviation and Palantir, a cutting-edge U.S-based software technologies company founded in 2003 and based in Denver, Colorado, announced today (March 13th) a collaboration to build the AI foundation for the future of next-gen aviation, reports a press release.
The two companies plan to leverage Palantir Foundry and AIP (secure, operational platform for Human+AI teaming), to accelerate the scaling of Archer’s aircraft manufacturing capabilities at its facility in Covington, Georgia, while advancing the development of software solutions and drive innovation.
Developing AI can improve a range of aviation systems including air traffic control, movement control and route planning, with the goal of improving efficiency, safety and affordability across the industry.
The partners will formalise this collaboration later today during a signing ceremony between Palantir co-Founder and CEO, Alex Karp, and Archer Founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein, at Palantir’s AIPCon (invitation-only industry event of C-suite leaders drawn from Palantir’s current and potential client base).

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 efficiency, safety and sustainability.”
Goldstein added, “While aviation 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 to shape its future.”
The release concludes, “With the rapid acceleration of AI, as well as breakthroughs in distributed electric propulsion, the industry is now poised for change.”
