Embraer-owned Eve already building its first "flying car"
Eve Air Mobility, a startup spun off Embraer’s innovation arm Embraer-X years ago, hopes to have the first full-size prototype of its aircraft ready by the end of this year and flying by the end of 2026.
Daniel Moczydlower, Embraer-X’s president, said at Web Summit Rio that Eve’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle is being built in the city of Taubaté, in the state of São Paulo. The first flight tests should also take place later this year in the city of Gavião Peixoto, 330 kilometers from the capital of São Paulo, he told the press.
The company expects to have everything it needs (data on ground and flight tests, as well as wind tunnel data) to get the first green light from regulators by the end of 2024. Embraer’s Taubaté plant was announced in mid-2023, months after selecting the suppliers for the project.
