Eve and Flapper to Develop Urban Air Mobility Market in Latin America
Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions, Inc., an Embraer company, and Flapper Tecnologia, S.A., an independent on-demand private aviation platform, recently announced a partnership aimed at developing the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market in Latin America. The partnership will serve as a proof-of-concept (POC) for future regional operations of Eve’s electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, also known in the market as EVA (Electrical Vertical Aircraft).
Eve expects to provide Flapper with up to 25,000 hours of flight time per year across key cities in South America, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte (Brazil), Santiago de Chile (Chile), Bogotá (Colombia), and Mexico City (Mexico). The parties plan to foster a culture of on-demand UAM booking using helicopters to serve as data collection for the future development of the EVA.
This agreement has the potential to bring up to 25 of Eve’s EVA to Flapper’s platform. Eve unveils a unique value proposition by offering a suite of agnostic UAM products and services. Backed by Embraer’s more than 50-year history of proven track record aircraft manufacturing and certification, Eve offers a zero-emission, low noise, and community-friendly EVA based on a simple and intuitive human-centric design. The company continues to reach development milestones, including the first flight of the engineering simulator in July 2020, and a proof of concept in October 2020.
