“Eve Partners with UrbanV, VertiMob, PRS Aeroportos For ANAC’s Regulatory Sandbox”

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty announced this week a part­ner­ship with PRS Aero­por­tos, UrbanV and Ver­ti­Mob Infra­struc­ture, as part of a reg­u­la­to­ry sand­box for ver­ti­ports, organ­ised by the Nation­al Civ­il Avi­a­tion Agency of Brazil (ANAC), reports a press release. 

The release explains, “This sand­box project, set to run for two years, pro­vides an envi­ron­ment for the com­pa­nies to devel­op inno­v­a­tive solu­tions for ver­ti­ports. Areas of focus encom­pass key reg­u­la­tions includ­ing phys­i­cal infra­struc­ture capac­i­ty, fire-fight­ing sys­tems, air­craft noise require­ments, and access con­trol mea­sures.”

It con­tin­ues, “The col­lab­o­ra­tion will also address air­craft land­ing and take-off lay­outs, final approach and depar­ture tra­jec­to­ries, and main­te­nance and sup­port facil­i­ties.”

Eve is to apply its expe­ri­ence as an eVTOL man­u­fac­tur­er to improve air­craft per­for­mance. The com­pa­ny will share insights on best prac­tices for oper­a­tions includ­ing pre-flight checks and stan­dard pro­ce­dures. Also, Eve is work­ing to evolve the com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) by shap­ing the range of future ser­vices offered at ver­ti­ports.

Johann Bor­dais, CEO of Eve, com­ment­ed, “We are deeply com­mit­ted to shap­ing and inte­grat­ing into the wider AAM indus­try. Our col­lab­o­ra­tion in ANAC’s reg­u­la­to­ry sand­box is a clear demon­stra­tion of this. The part­ner­ship allows us to address all aspects of the indus­try, from ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture to eVTOL oper­a­tions, in align­ment with the stan­dards and expec­ta­tions of glob­al reg­u­la­to­ry agen­cies.”

ANAC recent­ly pub­lished the final air­wor­thi­ness cri­te­ria for Eve’s eVTOL, mark­ing an impor­tant step towards type cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. The pub­li­ca­tion opens the door for Eve to define the means of com­pli­ance for its eVTOL. The com­pa­ny con­tin­ues to work close­ly with the agency to secure the Type Cer­tifi­cate (TC) and val­i­date the TC with the U.S FAA.

Mean­while, Eve has con­duct­ed Con­cept of Oper­a­tions (CONOPs) stud­ies in var­i­ous glob­al cities, includ­ing Rio de Janeiro, Chica­go and Lon­don. These CONOPs out­line the vision, key con­sid­er­a­tions, oper­a­tional needs for eVTOLs, and user jour­neys, as well as ser­vices and sup­port.
