Eve Air Mobility accelerates eVTOL development
Eve Air Mobility, a global player in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unveiled important updates on the development of its aircraft at the Paris Air Show 2025, illustrating innovations in design, the evolution of the test program and the expansion of the TechCare suite of services dedicated to urban air mobility (UAM).
Test program and first flight expected for the summer
Eve confirms the methodical and rigorous approach adopted for testing, with a ground validation phase already underway and the start of test flights scheduled for summer 2025. The company will deploy 5–6 compliant prototypes for thousands of development and certification flights by 2026.
Design innovations: more safety, efficiency and flexibility
The new design of the eVTOL Eve stands out for solutions that improve the passenger experience and operational efficiency:
- Optional wheeled landing gear, for greater maneuverability on the ground and lower fuel consumption when taxiing.
- Flexible cabin, with lightweight seats and reconfigurable from passenger transport to cargo, up to 4 seats.
- Advanced propulsion system, with self-aligning lifting rotors, patented 4-blade thrust rotor and fixed pitch elevators, for quiet, stable cruising with low aerodynamic drag.
- Embraer optimized wing, 15 meters long but modular and compatible with containerized transport.
- Intuitive cockpit, with 4-axis sidestick developed with Garmin and Crouzet, and fifth-generation fly-by-wire system.
TechCare: the heart of integrated care
Eve also consolidates its position in the eVTOL segment through TechCare, the service platform that accompanies the entire operating cycle of the aircraft. Through the Embraer network, TechCare offers:
- Pilot training in partnership with CAE, through global training centers.
- Worldwide maintenance services, integrated into Embraer service centers.
- Battery system provided by BAE Systems, with guaranteed availability and simplified logistics.
- Spare parts and material support, with digital services for orders and deliveries active H24 all over the world.
Vector integrates with TechCare
The Vector platform, an intelligent urban air traffic management system, now integrates with TechCare to offer digital and automated aftermarket solutions, including fleet planning, takeoff/landing management and operations monitoring. The system is agnostic and designed to be used by eVTOL operators from other manufacturers. For more information: www.eveairmobility.com
