Eve Air Mobility pursues eVTOL certification in Brazil and Europe

Eve Air Mobility (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW) announced two developments in the certification process for its Eve 100 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft: Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has opened a public consultation on updated airworthiness criteria for the aircraft, and Eve has applied to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to begin a Type Certificate validation process.

ANAC's consultation period runs until August 18, after which the agency will review comments and assess potential revisions to the criteria. The updated criteria follow ANAC's first publication of airworthiness criteria for the Eve 100 in November 2024 and include revisions aimed at harmonization with international certification standards, including FAA guidance for powered-lift aircraft.

Eve formalized its Type Certificate application with ANAC in February 2022. In 2023, the company engaged the FAA for a concurrent Type Certificate validation process. The EASA application adds a third major aviation authority to the effort. Next steps with EASA include product familiarization activities and technical discussions.

CEO Johann Bordais said: "ANAC's consultation with industry stakeholders on the updated airworthiness criteria and our application for EASA Type Certificate validation are important demonstrations of the steady advancement of the Eve 100 certification process."

ANAC Director-President Tiago Faierstein said: "For ANAC, Advanced Air Mobility is a strategic priority, and Brazil can play an important role, in partnership with leading civil aviation authorities worldwide, in supporting safe and harmonized certification processes."
