MELBOURNE, Fla. – October 31, 2026 -- Eve Air Mobility (NYSE: EVEX; B3: EVEB31) arrives at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow with about 2,700 eVTOL pre-orders and an engineering prototype that has completed dozens of test flights since its first flight in December 2025.
Eve prepares transition flight evaluation this quarter
Hover and low-speed testing are complete, and the 2026 program is on schedule, according to the company. Partial transition flights are planned for this summer, with full transitions later in the year. Eve says these steps validate lift, cruise efficiency and system performance while reducing certification risk.
Production of six conforming prototypes is set to begin later this year.
Binding orders from Revo and AirX add up to 100 aircraft
Eve cites recent binding agreements that include pre-delivery payments from two helicopter operators:
- Revo (Brazil): up to 50 aircraft, supported by Eve TechCare and Eve Vector, for high-frequency urban operations.
- AirX (Japan): up to 50 aircraft, targeting initial deployment in sightseeing and last-mile mobility from 2029.
The source does not disclose financial terms or the size of the pre-delivery payments.
Eve pairs aircraft with maintenance and airspace products
Eve TechCare offers maintenance and lifecycle support focused on fleet availability. Eve Vector is designed to integrate eVTOL operations into complex urban airspace. Eve positions both as tools to lower adoption barriers for operators.
CEO Johann Bordais said the market "will be shaped by those who deliver." Embraer's 56 years of aerospace experience backs the program.
Eve schedules July 19 press briefing at pavilion D-030
Eve will show a full-scale eVTOL mock-up and a flight simulator at the Eve Air Mobility Pavilion (D-030), adjacent to the Farnborough flight line. Bordais will present the execution roadmap and growth strategy at a press briefing on Sunday, 19 July at 11:00 a.m. BST. The briefing will cover key milestones, strategic partnerships and scaling.
