Where it stands
Prototype flight testing
Eve’s design separates vertical lift from forward propulsion, using dedicated lift rotors and a wing for cruise. The initial passenger configuration is planned around a pilot and four travelers.
The full-scale engineering prototype first flew in December 2025. An August 2026 update reported a partial transition test with the pusher activated in flight; it did not claim a completed full transition to wing-borne cruise.
The wider program includes support services and traffic-management work. Future autonomous ambitions should be kept separate from the planned piloted launch configuration, and order announcements should be read together with their delivery conditions.
Availability
Under development; orders concern future aircraft, not current retail deliveries.
Certification & operating context
ANAC certification work ongoing; FAA validation activity and EASA validation application reported.
What to watch next
Higher-speed transition testing, finalized certification criteria and conforming aircraft progress.
