Eve 100 eVTOL on Track to Complete First Transition Flight Test Ahead of Farnborough Airshow
Eve Air Mobility plans to complete the first low-speed transition flight of its Eve 100 eVTOL within weeks, timing the milestone to coincide with the Farnborough International Airshow in July 2025. The company then targets a full-speed 90-knot transition flight before year-end, marking a critical step toward commercialization.
Highlights
- Eve Air Mobility plans to complete the Eve 100 eVTOL's first low-speed transition flight within weeks, ahead of the Farnborough International Airshow in July 2025.
- Following the low-speed test, the Eve 100 will target a full-speed transition flight at 90 knots (approx. 167 km/h) before the end of 2025.
- Transition flight — switching from rotor-lift VTOL mode to fixed-wing cruise — is a critical technical milestone in eVTOL certification and commercialization.
- Eve Air Mobility is an independent subsidiary of Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer, developing the Eve 100 for quiet, low-carbon urban air transport.
Eve 100 eVTOL on Track to Complete First Transition Flight Test Ahead of Farnborough Airshow
According to Aviation International News, Eve Air Mobility is pushing ahead with plans to complete the first low-speed transition flight of its Eve 100 eVTOL within the coming weeks.
A Key Milestone on the Horizon
Eve Air Mobility anticipates that this landmark test will be achieved shortly before the Farnborough International Airshow opens in July 2025, giving the company a timely headline to bring to one of the world's premier aerospace events.
What Comes Next
The low-speed transition flight is just the beginning. Following that milestone, the Eve 100 test program will press on toward a full-speed transition flight at 90 knots (approximately 167 km/h) before the end of 2025, comprehensively validating the aircraft's performance in fixed-wing cruise mode.
Transition flight is one of the most demanding technical hurdles in eVTOL development. It refers to the process by which an aircraft shifts from vertical take-off and landing mode — where rotors provide lift — to fixed-wing cruise flight. The maneuver puts aerodynamic design, flight control systems, and power integration to the test simultaneously.
About Eve Air Mobility
Eve Air Mobility is an independent subsidiary of Brazilian aerospace giant Embraer, focused on the development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and the broader urban air mobility (UAM) ecosystem. The Eve 100 is the company's flagship aircraft, designed to deliver quiet, low-carbon urban air transportation.
As the first transition flight test draws near, industry observers are closely watching Eve 100's progress and the company's timeline toward series production.
