• The consortium will deploy BETA’s electric aviation chargers built on the Combined Charging Standard ("CCS") - the open charging standard endorsed by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association ("GAMA") and broadly adopted across the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) industry.
  • As selected participants in the FAA's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program ("eIPP"), the consortium will prioritize deploying charging infrastructure in markets where Archer and BETA plan to operate, positioning the consortium at the center of the White House’s push to lead the world in commercializing this next generation of aviation technologies.
  • The approach behind ACES is what makes this network viable in a way no single company could deliver alone. As founding launch partners, Archer, BETA and Macquarie Capital will work to bring additional infrastructure, OEM partners and capital into the network so the industry can scale together.
  • Macquarie Capital, the advisory, capital markets and principal investment arm of Macquarie Group, brings decades of aviation infrastructure expertise and will provide strategic advice to the consortium, including helping to arrange the investment capital necessary to fund site acquisition and the subsequent development and construction of these facilities.
