eVTOL developer Eve Air Mobility has conducted a flight of a full-scale engineering prototype, marking one more step on the path to certification.
The flight took place at Embraer’s test facility in Gavião Peixoto, Brazil in front of an audience of high-ranking officials, including Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil.
Currently, the flight test campaign engineering prototype has completed 35 flights and accumulated close to 1.5 hours of flight time since December 2025, at a maximum altitude of 140 feet.
“We are advancing with discipline and consistency in our flight test campaign, reducing risk and building the foundation for future certification flights,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. “The results achieved in these first months following our initial flight in December 2025 reinforce our confidence in the aircraft’s architecture and our ability to deliver a safe, efficient and scalable solution for the urban air mobility market.”
“Embraer has over five decades of proven expertise in aircraft development and certification,” commented Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer. “Applying this knowledge to Eve’s program reinforces our commitment to innovation and the future of sustainable aviation. We see significant potential in the global urban air mobility market and believe Eve is well positioned to be a leader in this industry.”
