Exciting News: Brazilian Flying Taxi Model Launched!
The estimated range is 100 kilometers, due to which it will be limited to urban transport, at least in the early stages
A subsidiary of Brazilian aircraft manufacturers, Embraer, has unveiled a groundbreaking flying taxi prototype in São Paulo. The eVTOL model by Eve promises to revolutionize urban aerial mobility by 2026, providing fast and eco-friendly transportation.
The innovative aircraft uses electric-powered vertical takeoff and landing technology, making runways unnecessary. With plans for certification in 2026, Eve aims to offer a convenient alternative for commuters seeking to avoid traffic congestion and reduce CO₂ emissions.
The company’s CEO revealed ambitious goals for test flights in early 2025 and plans for multiple airborne prototypes in the near future. With significant investments from various partners, including Embraer and Nidec, Eve is poised to lead the Advanced Air Mobility industry.
Embraer, known for its aircraft excellence, will manufacture the EVE-100s in São Paulo, with delivery expected to commence in 2026. The flying taxi’s initial urban use will provide fast and efficient travel within a 100-kilometer range.
