Eve Air Mobility will present a virtual flight experience on its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft through virtual reality technology in a cabin mock-up. Before the event kicks off, CEO Johann Bordais will share updates on significant milestones in the company’s program development. Visitors to Eve’s display will have the chance to enjoy a virtual flight using VR glasses, along with several important announcements about the company’s advancements.
“For the past several months, Eve has been sharing updates on the progress of our prototype. The Farnborough Airshow is an excellent opportunity to update and show the market that Eve has made significant progress towards creating a safe, sustainable, and efficient advanced air mobility industry,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. “We have matured our eVTOL program, and we believe that we are on the way to successfully building, certifying and delivering the right aircraft for the market.”
Eve’s eVTOL design is focused on passenger comfort and safety while also prioritizing the business economics of the operators through the optimization of characteristics such as dispatch reliability. It utilizes eight dedicated propellers for vertical flight and fixed wings to fly in cruise mode, with no change in the position of these components during flight. The configuration includes an electric pusher powered by dual electric motors that provide propulsion redundancy, ensuring high performance and safety levels. While offering numerous advantages, including low operation costs and optimized structures and systems, it has been developed to offer efficient thrust with a low sound footprint.
Concurrently, Eve con
tinues to develop a comprehensive portfolio of agnostic services and operations solutions to ensure our customers operate efficiently and profitably.
