Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft becoming a more prominent offering at large trade events such as the Paris Airshow and at the 55th Paris Airshow, they are also doing big business.
First out of the blocks on Monday was Eve Air Mobility which signed its first agreement for 50 eVTOL aircraft with REVO, a Brazilian Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operator.
Eve Air Mobility, which is financed by Embraer, is developing a eVTOL aircraft which is backed by comprehensive support and the deal, which is valued at $250 million (US), shows REVO’s vision in the product from Eve Air Mobility for its ambitions to connect people across São Paulo, Brazil with its door to door service, using eVTOL aircraft.
They also signed a second deal on Wednesday when it signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) for 54 eVTOLs with Future Flight Global for its business across North America and Brazil. The company based in Washington DC and will use its already significant presence in the UAM market to boost Eve Air Mobilities market share in the regions.
“We are building a diversified electric aircraft fleet for global deployment across multiple mission profiles”, said Karan Singh, chief executive officer of Future Flight Global. “Eve’s aircraft—rooted in Embraer’s 55-year legacy of designing, certifying, and supporting commercial and business aircraft—checks every box: strong performance parameters, passenger-first ergonomics, clear certification pathway, and scalable production system. We look forward to ANAC certification and deploying these aircraft in Brazil and additional high-demand markets worldwide in the near future.”
