#thenewscompany : Eve Air Mobility (“Eve”) (NYSE: EVEX; EVEXW) announces that the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) has published the final version of the airworthiness criteria for Eve’s eVTOL. This follows a period of public consultation and represents a significant milestone in the certification process of Eve’s eVTOL aircraft.
The final airworthiness criteria, defined and published by ANAC, is a critical stage of the type certification process. After this achievement, Eve will focus on defining the means of compliance applicable to Eve’s eVTOL aircraft with ANAC.
“The publication of the final airworthiness criteria marks an important step towards the certification of our eVTOL. The feedback received during the public consultation phase was invaluable in refining these criteria. We are now looking forward to continue working closely with ANAC on Type Certification (TC) and the FAA on the simultaneous validation of the ANAC TC,” said Luiz Valentini, chief technology officer of Eve.
Eve formalized the process for obtaining a Type Certificate for its eVTOL with ANAC in February 2022. The eVTOL certification process aligns with procedures for obtaining a “special class category” aircraft Type Certificate, adhering to airworthiness requirements outlined in the existing Brazilian Civil Aviation Regulations and other stipulated criteria.
Embracing a comprehensive approach to its eVTOL project, Eve, in collaboration with prominent organizations and aviation authorities such as ANAC, is poised to shape the future of urban air mobility by propelling advancements in air transportation. The company will deliver a safe, sustainable and efficient transport alternative for commuters and continue to mature the design and capabilities of its aircraft under a dedicated pursuit of efficiency, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology into the sector.
