Eve Air Mobility Advances eVTOL Certification on Multiple Fronts
Event summary
- Brazil's ANAC opened a consultation on updated airworthiness criteria for Eve 100, with comments due by August 18, 2026.
- Eve applied to EASA for Type Certificate validation, adding another key aviation authority to its certification process.
- ANAC and Eve have been collaborating since February 2022 on the eVTOL's certification journey.
- Eve is pursuing concurrent certification with FAA, ANAC, and now EASA to align global standards.
The big picture
Eve's parallel certification strategy with FAA, ANAC, and now EASA reflects the growing complexity of global eVTOL regulation. The move underscores how advanced air mobility players are navigating fragmented regulatory landscapes to position for international operations. Brazil's strategic priority in Advanced Air Mobility highlights the emerging market's potential as a testing ground for new aviation technologies.
