US EditionEve Air Mobility Completes Successful First Flight of Full-Scale eVTOL Prototype
Eve's test flight validated critical systems for its eVTOL prototype, supporting nearly 3,000 potential orders and aiming for certification and service by 2027.
- Eve Air Mobility completed the first flight of its uncrewed full-scale eVTOL prototype at Embraer’s Gavião Peixoto test facility this week with a brief, remotely piloted hover at roughly 30 feet for about a minute.
- To gather certification-grade data, Eve Air Mobility will conduct hundreds of flights next year to validate fly-by-wire controls, integrated propulsion and energy management systems, and noise behaviour.
- The prototype uses a lift-plus-cruise layout with eight rotors, wings, and a rear pusher prop; Eve will build six conforming prototypes for a flight test campaign through 2026.
- The milestone reinforces commercial momentum for Eve with nearly 3,000 potential orders from 28 customers across nine countries and a $250 million framework agreement with Revo plus BNDES financing exceeding $240 million since 2022.
- Beyond the hop, success depends on safety approvals and urban readiness, as a major aircraft builder uses Brazil as launchpad for industrialisation while engaging ANAC, FAA and EASA.

Embraer’s “Flying Car” Just Flew — Why Eve’s First Test Matters Beyond Brazil
Key Points Eve, backed by Embraer, flew its full-scale electric air-taxi prototype—small in duration, big in regulatory meaning. The real race is not publicity. It is certification, industrial discipline, and infrastructure, with 2027 now the target. Nearly 3,000 potential orders, a $250 million framework deal, and BNDES-backed financing show momentum, but delivery depends on safety […]
