The airline will help electric-aircraft startup Archer develop an aircraft capable of helicopter-style, vertical takeoffs and landings.
Archer hopes to deliver its first aircraft in 2024, if it wins certification from the Federal Aviation Administration.
United says once the aircraft are flying, it and partner Mesa Airlines will acquire up to 200 to be operated by another company.
