Eve, Embraer’s Vertical Takeoff and Landing Electric Vehicle Company, Has Gathered About 40 Partners and Already Has Orders for About 2,000 Electric Flying Vehicles

Eve is increasing its partnerships to complete its ambitious project for flying vehicles starting in 2026. Following a new order announced on Tuesday, 19, the company controlled by Embraer already has orders for more than 2,000 electric flying vehicles and approximately 40 partners.

The non-binding letter of intent with Embraer and BAE Systems presented on Tuesday, 19, anticipates an order with a potential of up to 150 eVTOLs. The purpose is to “analyze the application of aircraft for the defense and security market.” The potential order will be added to Eve’s current portfolio of 1,910 eVTOLs.

On Monday, Eve announced the signing of a letter of intent with Halo Aviation, a company specializing in private urban air mobility travel services, for the production and launch of an urban air traffic management software for Eve.

According to Eve’s co-CEO, Andre Stein, partnerships are crucial for fostering a thriving urban air mobility (UAM) market. “Eve’s solutions portfolio also embraces the complexity of UAM networks, which require holistic and integrated services throughout the ecosystem, bringing together interested parties to maintain and enhance safety, improve performance, and reduce operational costs,” said the executive in a statement.

Eve’s partnerships, a subsidiary of Embraer, to bring the flying vehicle project to fruition, already total nearly 40 investors, according to data shared by Eve. Among the partners are helicopter operators, lessors, companies operating with renewable energy, fixed-wing operators, developers of “vertiports” (locations designated for eVTOL operations), among others.

Recently, Eve was listed on the New York Stock Exchange through a business combination with Zanite, a U.S. special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) focused on the aviation sector. Embraer remains the majority shareholder of the startup.

Eve May Utilize Embraer Structures to Develop Flying Vehicles

In a recent interview with Broadcast, Eve’s co-CEO, Stein, reported that Eve has a significant advantage: access to Embraer’s engineering, which will assist in the production of flying vehicles and also support the manufacturer’s experience in aircraft certification. As a result, Eve will be able to utilize the structures of Embraer to continue the project of its flying vehicles.

Sector May Not Be Profitable Due to Proposal Popularity

According to Citi’s transport analyst, Stephen Trent, the flying vehicles market is promising, but expectations regarding the business have greatly diminished globally over time. “It’s a huge bet on something that won’t generate cash for years,” the analyst told Broadcast.

He also states that the flying vehicles sector still depends on regulation. “Embraer has a good track record of obtaining certifications in Brazil and Europe for commercial airplanes and business jets, but new technologies, mostly automated, will depend on regulators. I’m not saying it won’t happen, but there are some steps to be taken before we get there,” Trent assesses.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Amazon ants build underground farms, cultivate fungi as food, and even use bacteria to protect their natural plantation in the forest.

João-de-barro doesn’t just build a nest; it constructs a clay capsule with thermal insulation that withstands heat, wind, and rain.

China did not like the decision by the U.S. to place BYD, Alibaba, and Baidu on a list linked to the Chinese military sector.

Rare case in Minas Gerais draws attention after a sow gives birth to 46 live piglets in a delivery that surprised even those knowledgeable in pig farming.

While lunar missions are deploying increasingly larger robots, Japan has bet on a small SORA-Q the size of a palm, which transformed on the Moon and photographed the SLIM landing.

Unprecedented achievement in India: a colossal 650-ton, nearly 3,000 hp excavator is transformed into 100% electric, marking a new phase in heavy mining.

Cheaper than Fiat Pulse, Renault Kardian, and Volkswagen Tera: with a 2.0 turbo engine of 190 hp, 30.6 kgfm torque, automatic transmission, and Swedish safety package, this premium hatch delivers sports car performance at the price of a new compact: meet the Volvo V40 T4 Momentum 2017.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With the look of a compact SUV and the price of a rational used car: 1.5 flex engine with 115 hp, automatic transmission, 420-liter trunk, and multimedia make the Caoa Chery Tiggo 2 Look 1.5 AT 2020 an unconventional alternative.
