BNDES Is Betting on National Project for Electric Flying Car Created by Startup Linked to Embraer

The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) announced this week an investment of R$490 million in a new flying car project with high sustainability, completely national. This ambitious project is created by Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions, a startup directly linked to the expertise of Embraer.

However, this project promises to be a major revolution in urban mobility in Brazil, as it is about national technology and the costs of the new vehicle may be lower. Nevertheless, this million-dollar investment will serve to kick off the first phase of the flying car development, named eVTOL, which means “Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing Aircraft”.

The eVTOL, name of Embraer’s flying car, was conceived with a logistics framework for large urban centers. All this considering the reduction of pollution and noise that these locations already experience. Therefore, this vehicle will be used for short-range flights to expand the range of urban transport and overcome congestion in major centers, such as the capital São Paulo, for instance.

The Investment Made by BNDES Covers 75% of the Total Needed to Complete This Initial Phase.

According to the designers of this vehicle, the initial construction phase of the eVTOL requires a financial investment of R$652 million. Therefore, the project is viable after the investment of R$490 million from BNDES.

Moreover, since this is a car focused on sustainability, R$80 million of the R$490 invested is sourced from the BNDES Climate Fund, which aims to encourage innovative solutions. However, the remaining R$410 million from the public agency will be from the Finem-Innovation line.

Embraer’s Electric Car Will Have Great Potential for Efficient and Fast Urban Transport.

The electric car being developed by Embraer will have the capacity to transport 4 passengers and the driver, similar to conventional models. However, the vehicle will be fully battery-powered, without the need for fossil fuel refueling.

Additionally, the propellers that will be attached to the vehicle promise to have noise levels up to 90% lower compared to those of a helicopter. Therefore, we can expect fast transport, combined with sustainability and reduction of noise and environmental pollution in large centers.

Who Is Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions?

Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions is a startup associated with Embraer. It emerged with the aim of seeking new air mobility projects for large centers, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, for example.

This startup, which has recently emerged, already has over 2,770 orders for electric mobility vehicles. However, they will only be delivered to buyers after 2026. It is worth noting that due to the costs involved in producing each vehicle, an electric car from the company may cost around US$3 million.

Moreover, in the coming years, it will become increasingly common to see initiatives like this, as environmental responsibility has become a significant factor affecting business relations. And you, would you buy this car?

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Researchers in South Dakota are studying microbes found in an extreme underground environment, more than 1,200 meters deep, capable of accelerating the conversion of CO₂ into solid minerals in weeks, with potential applications in power plants, factories, and construction materials.

From an artificial island in the Gulf, Abu Dhabi’s oil company drilled more than fifteen kilometers horizontally and earned the title of the longest well ever drilled in the world.

Goodbye electric heater? Invention with recycled cans and solar energy heats the house without using electricity, costs less than R$ 80 to assemble, and uses dozens of black-painted cans to generate heat in winter.

Australia inaugurates a colossal floating solar plant over a reservoir that prevents rapid evaporation during periods of extreme drought and additionally produces 600,000 kWh per year with 1,260 bifacial panels to cut 600 tons of CO₂ and reduce water costs.

Forget gasoline: Brazilian students create a water-powered car, transform a Fiat Siena into a near-zero emission vehicle, and put Brazil’s first clean combustion car to compete in an international tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
