Embraer’s Eve Air Mobility Is Building Full-scale eVTOL Prototypes

Established aerospace manufacturers like Embraer can afford to play the long game in this segment.

At its new facility in Taubaté, Brazil, Eve Air Mobility recently rolled out the first full-scale example of the eVTOL aircraft it wants to start delivering in 2027. The spin off from aerospace group Embraer sees use cases such as air taxis, cargo deliveries and medical support. First and last mile links from FBOs to passengers' final destinations could be another such use. With partners it is develop infrastructure for such as air traffic management and vertiports for the new electric aircraft. BJT sister-publication FutureFlight brings us this report.
