![]() “Today, we still have a very good cash position,” Stein notes, with a series of successful financing rounds meaning that it has enough reserves to drive the programme through 2025. RUAG performed windtunnel testing on Eve earlier this yearĪs of late May, Eve had secured letters of intent for up to 2,770 of its eVTOL aircraft. “Eve has around 150 people, and we have close to 300 engineers from Embraer engaged on the project right now – it is an advantage that we can flex that up and down,” he says. Stein notes that it is able to draw on its parent company’s depth of engineering talent, which he argues differentiates it from other players in the eVTOL industry. Stein notes that eVTOL operations will range from operations involving “a simple slab of concrete to a full vertiport with security screening”.Įve is 90% owned by Embraer, but was spun out into a separate entity by the airframer in late 2021. ![]() It also hosted an inaugural infrastructure summit earlier this year, attended by 25 participants, including US regional and mainline carriers, helicopter operators and technology providers. ![]() Stein says simulator-based flights of the design also are helping “to develop our flight control laws”.Īdditional work has included completing the development of prototype urban air traffic management (ATM) software, in collaboration with Embraer’s air traffic control subsidiary Atech.Įve says it has been “conducting advisory groups with partners to ensure that software development aligns with their needs”, naming as examples Blade India, Ferrovial, and Halo Aviation. This work is also being supported with the results of windtunnel tests performed in the first quarter of this year by RUAG in Switzerland. “The findings from the propeller and truck-mounted rig are being used to increase the fidelity of the flight simulator and fly-by-wire system,” Eve says.
