Eve Hosts UAM Industry Summit
Eve Air Mobility—the subsidiary of Brazilian air-framer Embraer and producer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft—recently brought together representatives of its customers and partners.
The assemblage, which comprised more than 20 participants from over 10 countries, gathered in Lisbon, Portugal, to advance the inchoate Urban Air Mobility (UAM) industry and develop standardized approaches to: general and aircraft operations, maintenance networks and parts distribution, aircraft performance, Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM), cabin design and passenger journey.
Companies in attendance—which included Republic Airways, Halo Aviation, Avantto, Blade, Falko, Fahari Aviation (a subsidiary of Kenya Airways), and Bristow Group—participated in multiple collaborative workshops and presentations through which information, opinions, and feedback germane to UAM undertakings were exchanged and chronicled.
Eve Co-CEO Andre Stein said of the gathering: "It was incredibly constructive spending those couple of days with our customers and partners who could collaborate with insights on our UAM solutions based on their experience within their respective fields. All the feedback gathered will contribute to the evolution and maturity of our programs, including the eVTOL, services & support and UATM software. The result was extraordinary, reinforcing that we are on the right path with our collaborative approach toward the future of urban air mobility.”
Included in the event was the unveiling of Eve’s cabin mock-up, which the company presented for both promotional purposes and to garner the input and opinions of the attending industry leaders, whose discretion will ultimately determine the success or failure of the nascent aircraft. The mock-up will be featured at the next Farnborough International Airshow.
