Eve Holding, Inc. has its first full-sized eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle) cabin mock-up at the Farnborough Airshow in the UK. As part of the ongoing product development, the company also presented the current vehicle design that uses a conventional wing and tail instead of the previous canard configuration.
The eight rotors are fixed around the wing, providing vertical take-off and landing capability as well as safety and reliability in a simple and intuitive lift-plus-cruise design.
The company’s eVTOL will offer communities environment-friendly flights and is expected to enter into service in 2026.
Ev is backed by Brazil’s Embraer S.A.
Flavia Ciaccia, Vice President of User Experience of Eve., says: “This mock-up brilliantly materialises the cabin concept we have been co-creating with potential users for years. We recently received feedback from our advisory board, and now we will be able to show it to other stakeholders here at Farnborough Airshow. Our solutions were designed considering essential market needs, such as accessibility, safety, sustainability, and ticket price. It is always exciting when we achieve this stage of the program.”
Andre Stein, Co-CEO of Eve, adds: “Our teams have been working hard to create the best solutions for the global urban air mobility environment, and our aviation experience through Embraer not only gives us confidence that we are on the right path but also puts us at the forefront of the market. We’ve been accelerating our resources engagement and evolving the project’s maturity.”
Eve has also announced that it entered into a letter of intent with Halo Aviation Ltd., a provider of bespoke private Urban Air Mobility (UAM) travel services, to collaborate in the development and launch Eve’s Urban Air Traffic Management software solution.
As part of the agreement, Halo will acquire the software from Eve with the objective of using it to maximize its UAM operations.
Andrew Collins, President and CEO of Halo, says: “Eve has demonstrated why they are going to lead the next generation of flight, and we are extremely excited about this. Halo is happy to form a unique and collaborative partnership with Eve as they have spent so much time focused on more than just the manufacturing of an eVTOL vehicle but, rather, they are working to deploy a series of agnostic solutions that will significantly drive the creation and overall network performance of UAM. In this particular case, we look forward to collaborating with Eve’s team to bring our current operational insight as a leader in the vertical lift in the US and the UK to help develop and promote Eve’s UATM vision.”
is part of a portfolio of solutions that will enable the integration of all airspace users in the urban environment, which is critical to supporting the safety, efficiency, and improvement of the entire UAM ecosystem, including fleet and vertiport operators.
