30 July 2024 - “Our global team of engineers have shown exceptional dedication and expertise to successfully assemble our first full-scale eVTOL prototype,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility. “This is a significant milestone that underscores our commitment to safety, accessibility and innovation. As we now turn our attention toward the preparation of a rigorous testing campaign, we are not just creating an aircraft, we’re building a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions that will shape the future of the Advanced Air Mobility industry.”
As Eve advances into the next phase of development, the eVTOL prototype already has a series of comprehensive testing campaigns. These campaigns are designed to meticulously assess every aspect of the aircraft’s operation and performance, from flight capabilities to safety features. These valuable insights will play an important role in refining the design and functionality of the aircraft. “This extensive testing phase begins the next fundamental step in our journey,” said Bordais. “It ensures that our eVTOL meets the high standards and expectations we’ve set for performance and safety.”
