Eve Air Mobility is anchoring its presence at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow around tangible, real-world progress as its electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) program moves out of conceptual design and into active flight testing.
The company is showcasing its full-scale eVTOL mock-up at its dedicated pavilion, situated adjacent to the Farnborough flight line, to give aerospace stakeholders a direct look at the aircraft’s current configuration and maturity. Visitors can also experience an immersive flight simulator designed to replicate expected pilot interaction and operational performance. Additionally, a formal press briefing scheduled for Sunday, July 19, will outline the company’s execution roadmap and growth strategy.
Johann Bordais, Chief Executive Officer of Eve Air Mobility, said, “Farnborough is where the future of aviation takes shape, and Eve is coming with real progress in flight and a clear path to certification. We are not just talking about possibilities. We are acting, moving forward with our flight tests, enhancing the platform to meet our customers’ needs. This market will be shaped by those who deliver, and that is exactly what Eve is focused on.”
The Farnborough showcase aligns with significant engineering milestones, as the company’s engineering prototype has completed dozens of test flights since its maiden flight in December 2025. With hover and low-speed testing successfully completed, Eve is transitioning to wingborne cruise evaluation, beginning with partial transition flights this summer and full transitions later in the year. Concurrently, the company is preparing to start the production of six conforming prototypes later this year.
This flight progress is backed by strong commercial momentum, with Eve maintaining an industry-leading pipeline of approximately 2,700 eVTOL pre-orders. At the show, the company highlighted recent binding agreements with pre-delivery payments from helicopter operators, including up to 50 aircraft for Brazil-based Revo to electrify high-frequency urban routes, and up to 50 aircraft for Japan’s AirX for sightseeing and last-mile operations starting in 2029.
To ensure seamless entry into service, Eve is also presenting its broader urban air mobility ecosystem, which includes Eve TechCare for predictable maintenance support and Eve Vector for integrating eVTOL operations safely into complex city airspace.
