Eve Air Mobility Achieves Key Transition Flight Milestone for eVTOL, Maintains 2028 Target
Eve Air Mobility has successfully completed the first transition flight with its full-scale eVTOL technology demonstrator in Brazil. The remotely piloted aircraft successfully shifted from vertical lift, using its eight rotors, to wing-borne flight powered by its single pusher propeller. This critical test provides essential data for the development of the final production aircraft. Eve, a subsidiary of Embraer, remains confident in its timeline, reaffirming its goal to achieve type certification and enter service by 2028.
