The brief

Analyst view

• Spun out from Embraer's innovation division in October 2020 with backing from Embraer and later went public on NYSE as EVEX in May 2022.
• Holds ~2,700 non-binding letters of intent; firm orders of 50 aircraft from Revo (June 2025) and 50 from AirX (Japan).
• First prototype flew Dec 19, 2025. Hundreds of flights planned 2026 toward 2027 certification.

Technical approach

As reported

Propulsion

8 vertical + 1 pusher motor

Eight lift rotors and one pusher propeller for cruise. Fixed-pitch minimizes parts.

Energy

Battery-electric with 15-20 min recharge

Fully electric design with battery fast-charging between trips. Typical 30 km trip with 4 passengers; 100 km range with reserves.

Cruise

Wing-borne at 200 km/h

Lifts on rotors then transitions to wing-borne flight, which uses a fraction of hover power. Quieter than helicopter rotorcraft.

Seats

1 pilot + 4 passengers initially

Current design configured for one pilot and four passengers. Future autonomous variant planned for six passengers without pilot.
