Eve Air Mobility, a global leader in advanced air mobility solutions, has successfully completed its 50th test flight with its full-scale engineering prototype, accumulating over two hours of flight time. Since the aircraft’s first flight on December 19, 2025, these flights have generated high-fidelity data and valuable knowledge gains that are strengthening Eve’s understanding of aircraft performance and systems behavior as the company advances toward certification of its eVTOL aircraft.
Johann Bordais, Chief Executive Officer at Eve Air Mobility, stated:
“Reaching 50 successful test flights with our engineering prototype is more than a technical milestone. It is clear evidence of the maturity of our program and the strength of the solutions we are building. Eve is uniquely positioned to deliver not only a high-performance eVTOL aircraft but also aftermarket services, operational solutions, and airspace management tools that customers and cities will require to deploy urban air mobility at scale.”
The rapid pace of testing continues to validate the performance and operational capability of Eve’s eVTOL. This achievement highlights the company’s product development process, which is based on the proven Embraer methodology — an integrated approach that combines aircraft development with solutions to help operators, cities, vertiports, and air navigation providers prepare for the introduction of urban aviation.
The results and knowledge gained from flights with the full-scale engineering prototype are central to the development of Eve’s conforming prototypes and the eventual commercial aircraft. The company expects to begin producing its conforming prototypes this year, progressing toward a total of six aircraft that will be used in the certification flight test campaign with Brazil’s civil aviation authority, ANAC.
With 50 test flights completed, Eve is now expanding flight envelope evaluations, gradually increasing forward speed, and assessing energy management, controllability, stability, noise, vibration, and other performance parameters — leading to full transition flights later this year.
