5 terms

eVTOL technical

"With a current backlog of 2,800 eVTOLs, Eve is strengthening its supply chain"

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.

electric propulsion systems technical

"BETA designs and manufactures its proprietary electric propulsion systems, offering industry-leading"

Electric propulsion systems use electric motors and power sources (batteries, fuel cells or power electronics) to create thrust or drive machinery instead of burning fuel. They matter to investors because they can cut operating costs, reduce emissions, and open new markets—think of swapping a gasoline engine for an electric motor in a car—so companies that develop or adopt these systems may gain competitive advantage, regulatory benefits, and long-term demand growth.

power-to-weight ratios technical

"offering industry-leading power-to-weight ratios and energy-conversion efficiencies"

Power-to-weight ratio measures how much power an engine or motor produces relative to the weight it must move, expressed as power per unit of mass. Investors use it as a simple way to compare performance and efficiency — like judging how peppy a car feels by its horsepower per pound — because higher ratios often mean better acceleration, lower energy use, smaller or lighter designs, and potential cost or market advantages.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technical

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

Urban air mobility (UAM) is the use of small, often electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and delivery drones to move people or goods short distances inside and around cities, like adding a network of flying shuttles and couriers over streets. It matters to investors because it represents a potential new transport market—requiring new vehicles, charging and landing infrastructure, air traffic systems and regulations—so success depends on technology, safety, costs and public acceptance.

propulsion redundancy technical

"powered by dual electric motors, providing propulsion redundancy and ensuring the highest levels"

Propulsion redundancy is the design practice of giving a vehicle two or more independent ways to provide thrust or movement so it can keep operating if one system fails. For investors, redundancy matters because it improves safety and reliability—like having a spare engine or a second driver—reducing the risk of costly accidents, regulatory delays, or grounding, but it also raises development, manufacturing and maintenance costs that affect profitability and pricing.

MELBOURNE, Fla., and S. BURLINGTON, Vt., Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Air Mobility ("Eve") (NYSE: EVEX), (NYSE: EVEXW) has selected BETA Technologies ("BETA") (NYSE: BETA) to supply electric pusher motors for its conforming prototypes and production aircraft.

With a current backlog of 2,800 eVTOLs, Eve is strengthening its supply chain through this collaboration. The agreement represents a potential 10-year opportunity for Beta of up to USD $1 billion and reinforces Eve's commitment to proven technologies and dedication to exceeding mission requirements.

The agreement follows an initial evaluation period in which Eve purchased, tested, and validated the performance of BETA motors in its Engineering Prototype in anticipation of its first flight, which is expected to take place late this year/early 2026.

"Integrating Beta Technologies into our supply chain is a pivotal milestone in advancing our eVTOL program," said Johann Bordais, Chief Executive Officer of Eve Air Mobility. "Their electric motor technology will play a critical role in powering our aircraft during cruise, supporting the maturity of our propulsion architecture as we progress toward entry into service. This collaboration underscores our commitment to working with suppliers who share our rigorous safety standards and deliver proven engineering solutions—driving performance, efficiency, and sustainability as we bring urban air mobility to life."

BETA designs and manufactures its proprietary electric propulsion systems, offering industry-leading power-to-weight ratios and energy-conversion efficiencies. The simple designs feature segment redundancy and significantly fewer parts than traditional aircraft engines,  translating into high safety and low cost.

"We're excited to work with Eve Air Mobility and supply our electric propulsion technology to their production program," said BETA's CEO and Founder, Kyle Clark. "Our pusher motors have already proven high performance and reliability in thousands of demanding real-world operations across the globe, and our manufacturing capability will allow us to deliver these systems at scale to support Eve's aircraft. This collaboration is another step in moving electric aviation toward commercialization and adoption."

The selection of BETA Technologies underscores Eve's commitment to selecting as suppliers leading aerospace innovators to power its conforming prototypes and production aircraft. BETA's proven expertise in electric propulsion systems and its commitment to robust, high-performance designs were key factors in this strategic supplier addition.

Through this supplier agreement, BETA joins an elite group of legacy suppliers supporting Eve's development, including U.S.-based leaders such as BAE Systems for batteries, Garmin for avionics, Honeywell Aerospace for external lighting, Intergalactic for thermal management, and Nidec Aerospace for lifter motors.

Eve's eVTOL aircraft uses a lift + cruise configuration with eight dedicated propellers for vertical flight and fixed wings for cruise, with no moving parts in flight. The aircraft features an electric pusher powered by dual electric motors, providing propulsion redundancy and ensuring the highest levels of performance and safety. Additionally, this configuration allows separate systems to be optimized for each flight phase, simplifying maintenance, reducing operational costs, and minimizing the sound footprint.

The company is advancing the current stage of the eVTOL development, which involves a series of comprehensive tests with the prototype to evaluate every aspect of the aircraft's operation and performance, from flight capabilities to safety features.
