Founded in October 2020, Eve Air Mobility is in the business of designing electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL) passenger aircraft and are developing an entire Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem. The company is located in Melborne, Florida, USA and in São Paulo, Brazil. The company is making both civilian and military eVTOL passenger aircraft. 

Eve Air Mobility is a subsidiary of Embraer. Over the last five decades (as of 2018), Embraer has designed, developed and certified close to 50 aircraft models, delivering over 8,000 aircraft to 100 countries. Embraer’s fleet has accumulated more than 50 million flight hours. Embraer was founded in 1969 and its main headquarters are based in São Paulo, Brazil. EmbraerX is the disruptive innovation subsidiary of the Embraer Group, is based in the USA and is the business group in charge of developing their eVTOL aircraft for Urban Air Mobility (UAM).

Recent Financial Information
In July 2024, the company announced a $95 million (USD) new equity to support eVTOL development. On June 3, 2025, the company announced up to $15.8M FINEP Grant to Accelerate Sustainable Aviation and Digital Innovation. The FINEP of Brazil (Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos, Funding Authority for Studies and Projects) is an organization of the Brazilian federal government under the Ministry of Science of Technology, devoted to funding of science and technology in the country. On August 14, 2025, the company announced  it has entered into subscription agreements with BNDESPAR, a subsidiary of the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), Embraer and other institutional investors to issue and sell, in a capital raise via a registered direct offering, a total of 47,422,680 shares of common stock at $4.85 per share, for a total gross proceeds of $230 million (USD).

EmbraerX has key design elements for their eVTOL aircraft which include: A human centered design, optimal safety, high reliability, redundant systems, a lower noise footprint to be community friendly, simplicity in design, advanced technology, 100% electric, passenger comfort and user experience, accessibility for anyone (young, older, special needs), low operating costs, autonomous flight and no emissions.

Eve passenger eVTOL unnamed production model concept design
The Eve passenger eVTOL unnamed production model aircraft holds one pilot, four passengers and their luggage in a comfortable interior. The aircraft has been designed to switch over to autonomous piloting and when that takes place, the seating will be reconfigured and the aircraft will hold a total of six passengers and their luggage. On a small note, most of the company's previous concept design aircraft had two pusher propellers and the latest production model concept design has one pusher propeller. 

The range of the aircraft is estimated to be 100 km (60 miles). The cruise speed and flight time of the aircraft has not been revealed by the company as of September 2025. The aircraft has larger windows than conventional small airplanes and provide the passengers and pilot with spectacular views over any urban or rural area.

The aircraft has one main high wing, has eight VTOL-only propellers located on four booms (which are part of the wing's superstructure and each boom is parallel the fuselage) and has one pusher propellers on the rear with what can be called a U tail. The inner booms are longer and are part of the tail structure. All propellers can turn independently of each other and can all be used for any type of course correction during any part of the flight in clam or gusty wind conditions.

Having a main wing will increase the range of the aircraft making it extremely useful for passengers flying in a large urban area and flying from a urban area to a rural area. The tail of the aircraft has one vertical stabilizer. The landing gear is helicopter-like fixed skid landing gear reminiscent of an Airbus H145 helicopter's landing skid.

When looking at the aircraft design, one can readily see the aircraft has been made to reduce the complexity of the aircraft. There are no tilting propellers, the wing and booms are fixed, the aircraft has a U tail and the landing gear has fixed skid-type landing gear. Reducing the complexity of any aircraft decreases the purchase cost, increases the life of the aircraft, increases the reliability of the aircraft, increases the safety of the aircraft and decreases the maintenance costs for the aircraft.

The timeline of when a prototype or production model will be produced was not provided in Eve Air Mobility as of July 2022. As of 2025, the company expects serial production to start in 2026.

Specifications:

  • Aircraft type: eVTOL passenger planned production model aircraft
  • Piloting: 1 pilot (in the future, autonomous)
  • Capacity: 4 passengers and luggage (6 passengers in autonomous configuration)
  • Cruise speed: Unknown
  • Range (estimated): 100 km (60 miles)
  • Flight time: Unknown
  • Cruise altitude: Unknown
  • Propellers: 10 propellers (8 VTOL-only propellers, 2 pusher propellers)
  • Electric motors: 10 electric motors
  • Power source: Batteries
  • Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
  • Windows: Large windows allowing forward, left, right views with a solid roof above the passenger compartment
  • Window: Canopy over cockpit
  • Wings: 1 main high wing
  • Tail: 1 U tail
  • Landing gear: Fixed skid landing gear (similar to a helicopter fixed skid landing gear)
  • Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers (or ducted fans) and motors on the aircraft so if one or more propellers (ducted fans) or motors fail, the other working propellers (or ducted fans) and motors can safely land the aircraft. There are also redundancies in the sub-systems of the aircraft.
