November 11, 2022 | In Honor Of The Brave
Our mission is to transform the way we move, freeing us to reimagine how we live. On this day, we take a moment to reflect on those who make that mission possible, through their service and their sacrifice. Thanks to their sacrifices we have the freedom to work to create a better tomorrow. Our path towards commercialization continues, determined to help maintain our country's leadership position in aerospace.
One of our key partnerships in creating that reality has been with the US Air Force, through their AFWERX Agility Prime program. Together we've collaborated on the potential benefits that our eVTOL aircraft may offer to this country and its infrastructure. We've worked to create an aircraft that's safe and sustainable, and continue to study the potential benefits of that aircraft beyond just Urban Air Mobility.
And directly responsible for that work are some of the brave individuals who have already answered the ultimate call. At Archer, we're proud to have many on the team who have served. We are humbled to work in service to, and alongside, so many inspiring veterans.
They include:
Robert N. Ellithorpe, VP of Customer Programs (US Marine Corps, 1986-1999)
Glen Burks, VP of Manufacturing (US Marine Corps, 1996-2001)
Sandy Sifuentes, Head of Quality (US Navy, 1993-2003)
Jeff Greenwood, Chief Test Pilot and Head of Flight Safety (US Marine Corps, 1991-2005)
Eric Wright, Head of Certification and Test (US Air Force, 1990-1993 and OK Air National Guard, 1995-1997)
Sam Swanson, Senior Manager, Public Relations (US Air Force, 2018-2022)
Josh Peek, Sr. Technical Sourcer (US Army, 1988-1996)
Daniel Beard, HSE Compliance Manager (US Air Force)
Alec Zielke, Recruiting Lead (US Marine Corps, 2007-2012)

Today we take a moment to thank them, and all those who have served to provide us these freedoms. For the brave men and women who have made our collective journey forward possible, we honor you.
