Recently, Palantir (
$PLTR) has made significant progress in the aviation sector. Archer Aviation’s Q1 2026 earnings confirmed their partnership, with Palantir enhancing AI stacks for eVTOL aircraft.
More importantly, Palantir was named a finalist for the FAA’s SMART AI project, a key component of the
$20 billion air traffic control modernization effort. This move validates Palantir’s platform for high-stakes commercial use and marks a strategic expansion from defense into next-gen transportation infrastructure. It’s a clear sign of their growing footprint in large-scale government AI contracts.
