WHAT ARE THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE ARCHER AVIATION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

​Archer Aviation shares began publicly trading on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2021 when it entered into a business combination with Atlas Crest Investment Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (commonly known as a blank-check company or SPAC).

The alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Archer Aviation relied on heavily edited videos of earlier flights to exaggerate the amount of flight testing it had actually performed and the sophistication of its electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft; (ii) Archer Aviation had misrepresented the nature and profitability of its business partnerships; (iii) Archer Aviation was unlikely to secure Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certification in the time frame it had represented to investors, thereby delaying the start of mass production of its aircraft for commercial sales; (iv) accordingly, Archer Aviation had overstated its financial position and/or prospects; and (v) all of the above, once revealed, was likely to subject Archer Aviation to significant financial and/or reputational harm.

​The Archer Aviation class action lawsuit further alleges that on August 16, 2023, Grizzly Research released a report on Archer Aviation that alleged, among other issues, “that Archer relies on heavily edited videos of earlier flights to misrepresent the amount of flight testing [Archer Aviation] has actually performed, and to misrepresent the sophistication of Archer’s eVTOL aircraft.”  The complaint further alleges that “the report alleged that investigators who had spoken to former Archer employees, and business in close proximity to its flight-testing facilities who witness its flights, confirmed that Archer conducts far fewer flights than [Archer Aviation] has claimed.”  Finally, the Archer Aviation class action lawsuit also alleges that Archer Aviation “has misrepresented the timelines for (i) its lab and manufacturing facility in San Jose, California, becoming operational, and (ii) securing FAA certification its prototype aircraft.”  The Archer Aviation class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Archer Aviation stock fell more than 6%.
