On August 10, the company announced that it was acquiring Boeing's Wisk Aero, SkyGrid, and Insitu business units, as part of a definitive agreement that will see the planemaker take a nearly 20% stake in Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR).
The deal will combine capabilities in autonomy, eVTOL aircraft, and uncrewed aircraft systems, resulting in an end-to-end physical AI platform for aerospace and defense, the firm said in a press release.
The agreement adds drone maker Insitu to the company's portfolio, a profitable business that generates over $200 million in annual revenue. Its takeover, along with those of Wisk Aero and SkyGrid, will provide access to Boeing's advanced autonomous flight technologies and strengthen Archer's position in defense and commercial logistics.
