Eve Air Mobility Advances Urban Air Mobility Certification with Successful Testing
Eve Air Mobility has flown its full-scale engineering prototype for Brazilian authorities, marking a significant milestone in the company’s certification campaign. The prototype has completed 35 flights and logged nearly 1.5 hours of total flight time, demonstrating stable behavior and reaching 140 feet above ground level. Early results indicate propulsion and battery performance are ahead of expectations, and noise levels have remained within projections. The company plans to expand the flight envelope and begin flights up to 30 knots in the coming days. The certification campaign is being led by ANAC, with support from BNDES and Finep. Eve Air Mobility is targeting 2027 for certification and entry into service, with six conforming prototypes expected to support the certification campaign.
