Growing air traffic is putting more pressure on pilots and air traffic controllers, especially during airport ground operations where aircraft converge on runways and taxiways. Archer Aviation believes artificial intelligence could become part of that solution. The company has introduced ZEE, an aviation foundation model designed to predict aircraft movements on airport surfaces several minutes into the future. He said the model turns raw operational data into predictive context that can flag unusual aircraft movements. The framework models multiple realistic future trajectories instead of locking onto one expected route, allowing the system to account for several possible aircraft movements at the same time.
