Embraer’s Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions subsidiary and vertiport group Skyports today announced the expansion of their partnership to prepare the way for launching eVTOL air taxi operations in Asia and the Americas. The two companies will use Eve’s planned eVTOL aircraft and urban air traffic management software being developed by its sister company Atech to work on how flight operations can be integrated with vertiport networks.
The collaboration builds on a working relationship Embraer and Skyports have had in place since early 2020 when the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer was at the early stages of developing plans for the urban air mobility (UAM) sector through its EmbraerX technology incubator. In October 2020, Embraer established Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions as a separate subsidiary, and now it is in process of discussing a possible merger with a special purpose acquisition company called Zanite.
