Overview
- Eve said it has completed 50 successful flights with its full-scale engineering prototype, totaling just over two hours in the air.
- The team is now expanding the flight envelope to higher forward speeds with the goal of full transition flights later this year.
- The company expects to start building production-representative prototypes this year for a six-aircraft certification test campaign under Brazil's regulator, ANAC.
- Recent flights are measuring energy use, controllability, stability, noise, and vibration to validate how the aircraft behaves in more demanding conditions.
- Eve frames the effort within Embraer's development playbook, pairing the aircraft with aftermarket services and airspace tools for operators, cities, and vertiports.
