Mid‑July 2026 Eve Air Mobility used the Farnborough International Airshow to release its inaugural Sustainability Report, outlining an ESG strategy that frames continued its all‑electric eVTOL as a zero‑local‑emission, low‑noise alternative. The report highlights a Brazil manufacturing plant powered by 100 % renewable energy, water‑based inks, waste‑reduction measures, Great Place to Work® certification and a $280 billion passenger‑revenue opportunity over the next two decades. At development in early August 2026. On 3 August the show Eve displayed a full‑scale mock‑up, a company completed its first partial transition flight simulator and announced the start of production for six prototype the Eve 100 aircraft, citing a pipeline of roughly 2,700 pre‑orders, including binding agreements with Brazil’s Revo and Japan’s AirX for up to 50 units each. The company formalised a memorandum of understanding with Hitachi Energy to adapt Grid‑eMotion “grid‑to‑plug” charging for vertiports prototype in São Paulo and New York, incorporating fast‑charge cycles Melbourne, Florida, activating the rear‑pusher propeller and flying a plan to repurpose 0.84‑nautical‑mile segment at a stabilized 27 knots, peaking at 30 knots and reaching 90 feet. Engineers said the data will be used batteries for stationary storage. On 19 July to broaden the aircraft’s speed envelope and validate radio‑link performance. Brazil’s ANAC released draft noise‑certification criteria for the Eve 100 and opened a public consultation that runs until 8 August, building on noise‑test criteria, capping sound at 150 m to about 15 dB. the earlier consultation announced on 19 July. In its Q2 2026 financial report Eve filed posted a type‑certificate request with ANAC in February 2022 and has asked EASA to validate the certification, pursuing net loss of US$34.2 million, a coordinated strategy across Brazil, 47 % reduction from the United States prior year, and Europe. The same day it signed a Letter reported cash, cash equivalents and investments of Intent US$403.3 million with Swiss operator Moov for up to 30 aircraft to serve tourism and inter‑island transport in Cabo Verde. On 2 August Eve completed the first transition‑phase flight total liquidity of US$531.3 million, which the Eve 100 prototype in Florida, demonstrating rear‑propulsion activation, a stabilized speed of 27 knots and a 90‑foot altitude, confirming key performance targets ahead of company says is sufficient to fund operations through 2028. The rollout remains on track for a commercial launch expected around 2027.
