Eve 100
Eight fixed-pitch lift rotors + one pusher, fixed wing; 4 passengers + pilot
Eve 100 is the Embraer-backed, fully electric lift-plus-cruise air taxi from Eve Air Mobility. It has eight fixed-pitch lift rotors, one pusher and a 15 m wing, and carries a pilot and four passengers. Eve plans up to six passengers once uncrewed flight is certified. Eve lists a 100 km (60 mi) design range; it has not published cruise speed, payload or battery capacity. The uncrewed full-scale prototype first hovered on 19 Dec 2025, closed a 59-flight hover and low-speed block in May 2026, and flew its first partial transition on 3 Aug 2026. ANAC is the primary certifying authority, with FAA validation under way and EASA validation applied for. Eve now expects type certification and entry into service in 2028. Not type-certified; not sold to private owners.
