Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Eve’s successful uncrewed hover and maiden flight is a concrete step toward Embraer’s 2027 certification and commercial timeline; Brazil’s regulator has said Embraer eVTOL certification in 2027 is realistic (and is seeking to accelerate that schedule)

  • The milestone adds to sector momentum on demonstrations and regulatory progress, complementing recent public eVTOL flights by other developers and moves to align certification pathways such as those seen with Joby and ANA’s public eVTOL flights at Expo 2025 Osaka and Vertical Aerospace’s adoption of the UK CAA 'Delivery Model'
