Eve Air Mobility, a leader in advanced air mobility solutions, has successfully completed 50 test flights with its full-scale engineering prototype, accumulating over two hours of flight time since its first flight on 19 December 2025. These flights have provided high-fidelity data and insights, crucial for the future certification of Eve's electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The company, backed by Embraer's extensive aerospace expertise, is advancing its programme with a focus on urban air mobility. "Reaching 50 successful test flights with our engineering prototype is more than a technical milestone. It is clear evidence of the maturity of our programme and the strength of the solutions we are building," said Johann Bordais, CEO at Eve.
Eve's testing strategy, based on Embraer's proven methodology, integrates aircraft development with solutions for operators, cities, and air navigation providers. This comprehensive approach is designed to prepare for the introduction of urban aviation.
The knowledge gained from these flights is instrumental in developing Eve's conforming prototypes, with production expected to begin this year. These prototypes will be used in a certification flight test campaign with Brazil's civil aviation authority, ANAC.
As Eve expands its flight envelope evaluations, it plans to increase forward speed and assess energy management, controllability, stability, noise, and vibration, aiming for full transition flights later this year. This progress underscores Eve's commitment to delivering high-performance eVTOL aircraft and supporting the urban air mobility ecosystem
