Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR) is one of the most active US stocks to buy according to analysts. On December 2, Archer Aviation announced an exclusive collaboration with Karem Aircraft to integrate military-grade rotor and tiltrotor technology into Archer’s next-generation vertical take-off and landing/VTOL aircraft. This alliance grants Archer unique access to Karem’s Optimum Speed Tiltrotor/OSTR technology, a system validated by the US Army through the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstration/JMR TD program.

By optimizing rotor speed for both hover and high-speed forward flight, this technology is designed to significantly improve range, fuel efficiency, and payload capacity. The collaboration is a cornerstone of Archer’s dual-use strategy, aimed at serving both commercial urban air mobility and defense sectors. The target platform is an autonomous, hybrid-propulsion aircraft intended to modernize the vertical lift capabilities of the US military and its allies.

By combining Karem’s aeromechanics with Archer’s autonomous systems and recently acquired intellectual property from Overair and Lilium, the company aims to produce an aircraft capable of operating in contested airspaces with a low thermal and acoustic signature. The partnership follows Archer’s November 2025 agreement to supply its proprietary electric powertrain to Anduril and the EDGE Group for the Omen Autonomous Air Vehicle.

Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR), together with its subsidiaries, designs and develops aircraft and related technologies and services in the US and internationally. It operates through the commercial and defense sectors.
