Beta's Electric Motors Will Power Eve's eVTOL Aircraft
Eve has been evaluating the manufacturer's electric pusher propellers for several months

Since it started building the engineering prototype for its eVTOL aircraft, Eve Air Mobility has opted to switch to an electric propulsion system developed by Beta Technologies.

Eve Air Mobility will power its eVTOL aircraft with an electric propulsion system developed by Beta Technologies. The company confirmed the selection of the electric pusher motors on December 2 after an evaluation process that started in the summer.

The powertrain has been tested on the ground with what Eve calls its “engineering prototype” for the four-passenger Eve-100 model, for which it is aiming to complete type certification in 2027. Eve said it is aiming to conduct a first flight with this aircraft in late December or early 2026, and then fly a conforming prototype by the end of next year.
