Eve Air Mobility—an independent electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) developer backed by Embraer, S.A.—announced three key suppliers on Sunday, June 18, as a preview to the Paris Air Show this week. Nidec Aerospace—a joint venture between Nidec Corporation of Japan and Embraer—will provide the electric propulsion system, BAE Systems will furnish an advanced energy storage system, and Duc Hélices Propellers will supply the rotors and props for the Eve eVTOL.
“The announcement of the first suppliers is a key milestone in the development of our eVTOL aircraft,” said Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve Air Mobility. “As we advance toward entry into service, our goal is to make sure that we produce and deliver a mature aircraft that not only exceeds expectations but enables our customers to operate safely and efficiently with the lowest cost of operation.”
