8 terms

advanced air mobility technical

"Eve Air Mobility ("Eve") ..., a global leader in advanced air mobility solutions"

Advanced air mobility involves the development and use of new types of aircraft, such as electric or hybrid vehicles, to transport people and goods through the air more efficiently and safely. It aims to improve urban transportation, reduce traffic congestion, and open up new markets for aerial services. For investors, it represents a growing industry with potential for technological innovation and future economic impact.

evtol technical

"advances toward the future certification pathway of its eVTOL"

eVTOL stands for "electric vertical takeoff and landing" aircraft, which are small, electric-powered vehicles capable of taking off and landing vertically like a helicopter. They are designed to provide quick, on-demand transportation within cities or between locations, potentially transforming urban mobility. For investors, eVTOLs represent a growing segment of innovative transportation technology with potential for significant market impact and future growth.

urban air mobility technical

"Eve Air Mobility is dedicated to accelerating the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem"

Urban air mobility is the emerging system of using small aircraft—often electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles and delivery drones—to move people and goods around cities. Think of it as adding a new layer of roads in the sky that could cut travel time and congestion, but it matters to investors because success depends on technology, safety, regulation, airspace rules and new infrastructure, all of which affect costs, adoption and revenue potential.

uam technical

"Eve Air Mobility is dedicated to accelerating the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem"

Urban air mobility (UAM) is the development and operation of small, often electric, aircraft designed to carry people or cargo around cities and suburbs, typically taking off and landing vertically like an elevator in the sky. For investors it represents a potential new transport layer—similar to adding a fast lane above congested roads—creating opportunities for makers of aircraft, batteries, software and landing infrastructure, but also exposing companies to heavy regulatory, safety and infrastructure risk that can affect timelines and returns.

vertiports technical

"help operators, cities, vertiports and air navigation providers prepare for the introduction"

Vertiports are designated landing and takeoff areas for vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, such as air taxis or drones. They serve as hubs for urban air transportation, allowing quick and efficient travel within cities. For investors, vertiports are important as they support emerging transportation technologies that could reshape urban mobility and create new business opportunities.

air navigation providers technical

"help operators, cities, vertiports and air navigation providers prepare for the introduction"

Organizations that manage and guide aircraft in the skies and at airports by providing services like air traffic control, communications, navigation aids, and safety information. Think of them as the traffic police and road signs for the air—keeping flights separated and routes clear—so investors view them as providers of essential, often regulated infrastructure whose revenue and costs closely track travel demand, regulation, and technology upgrades.

air traffic management technical

"a unique air traffic management solution"

Air traffic management is the system of services, procedures and technologies that keep aircraft moving safely and efficiently through airports and airspace, acting like a traffic controller or orchestra conductor for planes. For investors it matters because how well air traffic is managed affects airline on-time performance, fuel and staffing costs, airport capacity and safety — all of which influence revenues, operating expenses, regulatory risk and demand for related technology and infrastructure.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"Certain statements contained in this release are forward-looking statements"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

High-Fidelity Flight Data and Knowledge Gains Continue to Mature the Program

GAVIÃO PEIXOTO, Brazil, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Air Mobility ("Eve") (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31), a global leader in advanced air mobility solutions, has reached its 50^th successful test flight with its full-scale engineering prototype, accumulating over two hours of flight time. Since the aircraft's first flight on Dec. 19, 2025, these flights have generated high‑fidelity data and knowledge gains that are strengthening Eve's understanding of performance and systems behavior as the company advances toward the future certification pathway of its eVTOL.

"Reaching 50 successful test flights with our engineering prototype is more than a technical milestone. It is clear evidence of the maturity of our program and the strength of the solutions we are building," said Johann Bordais, chief executive officer at Eve. "Eve is uniquely positioned to deliver not only a high‑performance eVTOL aircraft but also aftermarket services, operational and airspace solutions that customers and cities will require to deploy urban air mobility at scale."

The fast pace of testing continues to validate the performance and operational capability of Eve's eVTOL. This achievement spotlights the company's product development process, based on the proven Embraer methodology. This consists of an integrated approach that combines aircraft development with solutions to help operators, cities, vertiports and air navigation providers prepare for the introduction of urban aviation.

The results and knowledge gained from flights with the full-scale engineering prototype are central to the development of Eve's conforming prototypes and the commercial aircraft. The company expects to begin producing its conforming prototypes this year, progressing toward a total of six that will be used in the certification flight test campaign with Brazil's civil aviation authority, ANAC.

With 50 test flights completed, Eve is now expanding flight envelope evaluations, gradually increasing forward speed, evaluating energy management, controllability and stability, noise and vibration, among others, leading to full transition flights later this year.
