Archer planes are designed to eliminate many of the risks from traditional helicopters because of the all -electric propulsion system with less moving parts, combustion engine and gearbox.
Instead of a main rotor, the Archer has 12 separate butterflies, meaning it can continue the flight even if the engine is not operated.
According to Goldstein, its digital flight control system also helps prevent any command or maneuver that can damage the aircraft. Its fixed wings allow it to rotate up to 20 miles, which Goldstein said it provides an extra layer of safety that is not typically found in Rotrod. That's why he said he was not worried about more accurate standards.
