Overview
- The agreement covers electric pusher motors for Eve’s conforming prototypes and future production aircraft.
- Eve validated BETA’s motors on its engineering prototype, with a first flight expected in late 2025 or early 2026.
- The companies describe the supply deal as a potential 10-year program worth up to $1 billion for BETA, contingent on production volumes.
- Eve cites a backlog of roughly 2,800 eVTOLs, signaling substantial downstream demand for propulsion components.
- Eve’s lift-plus-cruise design uses a dual-motor pusher for propulsion redundancy, while BETA points to manufacturing capacity and a charging network of 50-plus sites in the U.S. and Canada.
