What is an eVTOL?

eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off and Landing) is an electric aircraft capable of taking off and landing vertically. As their motors are electric, eVTOLs will be a more sustainable, safe and affordable urban air mobility option.

Technology

This new technology is based upon the (Distributed Electric Propulsion -DEP) concept, which has been developed for more than a decade, being the first project presented in 2009 by NASA, which allows the use of various electric motors for aircraft propulsion in comparison to the traditional fossil fuel-based propulsion model.

Safety

eVTOL’s are designed to ensure greater safety on urban flights through multiple rotors and advanced avionics that provide numerous redundancies (Duplication or repetition of elements in electronic equipment to provide alternative functional channels in case of failure).

Certification

FlyBIS will be the operator of Eve Air Mobility's eVTOL aircraft, which has the most practical and simple model on the market (Lift + Cruise design), increasing operational efficiency and certifiability. Eve also has the support of Embraer, the third largest manufacturer of commercial and executive jets in the world, having access to its skilled workforce, global infrastructure and decades of Intellectual Property (IP).

Accessibility and Noise Reduction

Electric motors will increase accessibility to urban flights due to the lower cost of operation and maintenance of the eVTOL’s aircraft. Lower noise levels will provide a better experience for passengers.
