Flexjet's Simulation with Eve Paves Way For eVTOL Services

Private flight provider Flexjet has concluded a simulation exercise with Eve Air Mobility focused on how new eVTOL aircraft could be integrated with its existing helicopter and fixed-wing services. The four-day project was conducted during November from Flexjet’s Tactical Control Centre at the London-area Farnborough Airport, using the Urban Air Traffic Management software that Eve intends to make available to its customers and other eVTOL operators.

During the simulation, the cloud-based Urban ATM platform was used to “shadow” live rotorcraft movements as if they were eVTOL aircraft. Flexjet’s UK division operates 11 helicopters, and in June 2021 the group’s Halo business unit made a provisional commitment to add up to 200 of Eve’s four-passenger eVTOL aircraft to its fleet following anticipated type certification in late 2026.
