- 100% electric propulsion
- Automatic takeoff and landing
- Low noise operation
- Zero local carbon emissions
Eve's Senior Vice President, Luis Carlos Affonso, highlighted that the main current challenge is the development of the production line, with different requirements from traditional aviation, especially in components such as batteries, motors and propellers.

In Rio de Janeiro, for example, the estimate is up to 245 aircraft in operation, over 100 routes and 4,5 million passengers per year, which can generate $220 million in annual revenue.
Projections and certifications for Embraer's eVTOL
Eve was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2022 and is considered one of the biggest bets of Embraer for the future. The estimated cost of each eVTOL varies between US$2 million and US$4 million.
The operation also depends on certifications from regulatory agencies, such as Anac (National Civil Aviation Agency) and the FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration), scheduled for 2026.
