EVE AIR MOBILITY EVE ADVANCES ITS TESTING PHASE

Eve Air Mobility (Eve) is advancing its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) testing phase as it continues to towards key program milestones.

The current tests are all part of Eve’s building blocks approach to further enhance the maturity of its technology and eVTOL to deliver the best product to the market Eve’s ongoing tests are a crucial part of its continuous improvement strategy and maturity of its technology and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

“We are very pleased with our program development activities to date and making very good progress as we move toward the selection of primary suppliers and finalize the definition of our aircraft systems architecture,” said Alice Altissimo, vice president of program management and operation of Eve.  “We continue to invest and our team is working hard with the goal of developing a mature aircraft for certification and entry into service in 2026.”

Eve recently concluded propeller tests on its propeller rig in Brazil, in order to measure aerodynamic performance and sound properties for modelling and development. Also, the outcomes derived from wind-tunnel tests, which have been recently concluded by the company, are being combined with the observations obtained from the propeller and truck-mounted rig. These collective findings are being employed to enhance the accuracy and realism of Eve’s flight simulator and fly-by-wire system. Moreover, Eve is leveraging ongoing advancements in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations to further refine the analysis of the transition between the hover and cruise phases of flight, in addition to utilising other tools for this purpose.
