Partnership with Archer

Plans are being made between Archer and Hexcel covering a proposed relationship for the supply of high-performance carbon fiber material that would be used in the manufacturing of the company’s production aircraft.
Under the proposed relationship terms, Hexcel Corp., Stamford, CT/USA would provide Archer Aviation Inc., Palo Alto, CA/USA, with high-performance carbon fiber and resin systems (prepreg) needed to fabricate composite parts for Archer’s production aircraft. Hexcel will supply lightweight carbon fiber and highly toughened resin systems that provide both strength and durability while reducing overall aircraft weight and enhancing aircraft safety. Composite materials from Hexcel, also exhibit repeatable manufacturing and performance.
The company is already one of the leading suppliers of carbon fiber, honeycomb, and other composite materials for major aerospace and commercial aviation programs, as well as space, defense and industrial programs. Designed to reduce weight and energy consumption while increasing payload and flight range, lightweight Hexcel composite materials will ensure high-performance during flight and lasting durability.
