Eve revealed a cabin mockup for its planned eVTOL aircraft featuring lightweight seats made from recycled plastic for the passenger cabin and single-pilot flight deck in a July 17 press conference at the Farnborough air show. Perhaps more significantly, the company also disclosed a redesign that sees a wing and canard configuration replaced by a wing and empennage combination.

The aircraft will feature eight vertical lift rotors and a pair of pusher propellers and would operate flights of up to 60 miles on a full electric charge. With a cruise speed of 125 mph, most of the piloted flights will likely last no more than around 30 minutes, operating out of city center vertiports.
