Company reaches key stage in certification process
Eve Air Mobility (“Eve”) announces that the final airworthiness criteria for its eVTOL have been released by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). This announcement comes after a period of public consultation and symbolizes a fundamental advance in the certification process for Eve’s aircraft.
The airworthiness criteria, established and released by ANAC, represent a crucial stage in the aircraft certification process. With this achievement, Eve will direct its efforts towards defining the means of compliance applicable to its aircraft with ANAC.
“The release of the final airworthiness criteria represents an important step towards the certification of our eVTOL. The contributions received during the public consultation phase were fundamental in improving these criteria. We will now continue to work closely with ANAC to obtain the Type Certificate (TC) and with the FAA for the simultaneous validation of ANAC’s TC,” says Luiz Valentini, Eve’s chief technology officer.
Eve formalized the process for obtaining the Type Certificate (TC) for its eVTOL with ANAC in February 2022. The aircraft certification process follows the procedures for obtaining a TC for “special class category” aircraft, adhering to the airworthiness requirements described in the current ANAC Regulations and other stipulated criteria.
With a holistic approach to its eVTOL project, Eve, in partnership with renowned institutions such as ANAC, is positioning itself to redefine the future of urban air mobility, driving innovations in air transportation in cities around the world. The company is committed to offering a safe and sustainable option for urban air transportation and is constantly evolving the maturity and functionality of its aircraft, always with a focus on efficiency.
