Air MobilityBETA Technologies will supply the pusher motor of Eve's eVTOL
Eve Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Embraer’s urban air mobility division, has selected BETA Technologies as the supplier of the supply electric pusher motors for its family of eVTOLs, the popular ‘flying cars’.
The decision came after a period of technical evaluation, during which BETA’s electric motors were tested and validated in a prototype engineering model of Eve.
“Integrating Beta Technologies into our supply chain is a pivotal milestone in advancing our eVTOL program,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve.
The contract represents a potential opportunity of up to US$1 billion for BETA over ten years, aligned with the approximately 2,800 eVTOL orders already held by Eve.
Eve’s eVTOL architecture adopts the lift+cruise configuration, with eight rotors dedicated to vertical flight and fixed wings for cruising, while the rear propulsion features two independent electric motors, ensuring redundancy.
Eve continues to conduct structural, functional, and operational tests with its full-scale prototype, a fundamental step in the program’s development.
The inaugural flight of the prototype is still expected by the end of 2025, but the most likely scenario points to early 2026.
