Eve 100 eVTOL set for low-speed transition flight within weeks

Eve Air Mobility’s Eve 100 eVTOL demonstrator is set to enter low-speed transition flight within weeks, moving the programme beyond hover and low-speed testing at Embraer’s Gavião Peixoto facility in Brazil.

The aircraft has already completed envelope-expansion work, and the next phase will validate the shift toward wingborne flight. That milestone precedes Eve’s first crewed mission in mid-2027, with the first of five crewed test aircraft due to follow around July 2027 from Embraer’s Ozires Silva plant.

The campaign now moves from prototype proving into the part of the schedule that will define the path to certification and early production.
