LE BOURGET—Eve Air Mobility has announced a series of conditional orders from a lessor and two operators for up to 150 air taxis, adding to its industry-leading indicative backlog for electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles.
The orders include a letter of intent (LoI) for up to 30 electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft from lessor Nordic Aviation Capital; a LoI for up to 70 eVTOLs from Brazilian general aviation service company Voar Aviation; and a LoI for up to 50 eVTOLs from Norwegian airline Wideroe.
The conditional orders add to Eve’s conditional backlog, which last stood at more than 2,770 aircraft.
In addition to the aircraft orders, the Embraer spinoff will also provide its urban air traffic management (UATM) software to Wideroe and Voar. The OEM recently completed a prototype of its UATM system and has begun commercial development of solutions to enable the integration of electric air taxis into urban airspace.
The company’s agreement with Wideroe—part of the airline’s Wideroe Zero sustainability initiative—also includes comprehensive services including maintenance, component repair, spare parts management, battery lifecycle management and data integration solutions, alongside operational solutions including training, consultancy and on-site support for fleet entry-into-service.
The Eve electric air taxis are being designed to carry four passengers and a pilot up to 100 km (62 mi.) at entry-into-service, currently expected in 2026.
