𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻, Founder and CEO of Archer:

"Over the past eight years we've engineered, tested and scaled the technology this platform is built on. The powertrain, the batteries, the motors, the manufacturing. We partnered with Anduril to take all of that knowledge and build something new: a clean-sheet aircraft in a completely different class of range, speed and payload. I believe this is the most sophisticated vertical lift aircraft platform ever developed—it’s exactly what our customers need,"

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘂 𝗡𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮, President and CEO, Marubeni Aerospace Corporation:

"Currently, even in cargo transport operations that do not require onboard crew, flights are conducted with human pilots, absorbing the cost, scheduling constraints and human exposure that come with it. Halo's unmanned, autonomous flight capabilities can address these challenges, and combined with its excellent range, payload capacity and VTOL capability, make it a highly suitable solution that we are pleased to introduce and support for our customers as a first strategic partner."
