PARIS—Spun out of Embraer in 2020, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi developer Eve Air Mobility is younger than competitors like Archer Aviation, Joby Aviation, Beta Technologies, and Boeing’s Wisk Aero. Unlike Eve, each of those companies have flown eVTOL prototypes. But Luiz Valentini, chief technology officer of the Brazilian company, told FLYING it is unfazed.
“[Ours is] not a process focused on flying as early as possible,” Valentini said. “It’s a process focused on advancing with the right maturity level at each time in the project.”
