Eve Air Mobility to feature eVTOL mockup and VR experience at Paris Airshow

If Volo­copter can do it, why not Eve Air Mobil­i­ty? It seems the Paris Air­show in 10 days time is cre­at­ing a healthy com­pet­i­tive spir­it from the eVTOL indus­try, per­haps, not quite seen before.

Just as there will be a VoloC­i­ty mock­up cab­in in the ‘Paris Air Mobil­i­ty’ Hall 5 on dis­play (please read arti­cle below), entic­ing the vis­it­ing pub­lic to hop inside and imag­ine what it may be like to fly in the air taxi, post-launch in Sum­mer 2024, so Eve has gone tit-for-tat with its own mock-up cab­in for the pub­lic to reside in, along­side the sense of an actu­al flight using vir­tu­al real­i­ty. The tech­nol­o­gy, which requires a spe­cial head­set, enables peo­ple to expe­ri­ence a “unique fly­ing feel­ing” by inter­act­ing with and expe­ri­enc­ing what flight on the Eve Air­craft may be like.

Volo­copter to Demon­strate Voloc­i­ty eVTOL Flights at Paris Air­show (19th-25th June)

The com­pa­ny comes to Paris after a suc­cess­ful year that includes the industry’s largest pur­chase back­log (2,770 poten­tial orders) for its eVTOL air­craft, with strong inter­est and an increas­ing num­ber of cus­tomers buy­ing its Urban Air Traf­fic Man­age­ment (Urban ATM) soft­ware with a com­pre­hen­sive port­fo­lio of agnos­tic ser­vices and oper­a­tions solu­tions, reports a press release.

Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve, commented,“The Paris Air Show brings togeth­er aviation’s glob­al play­ers and show­cas­es the biggest news and the lat­est advances in the aero­space sec­tor. The com­pa­ny comes to Paris with tremen­dous momen­tum as we con­tin­ue the devel­op­ment of our eVTOL, includ­ing pro­gress­ing toward key pro­gram mile­stones.” 

Eve’s mock-up cab­in will make its first appear­ance in Paris as part of a world tour that began last Sum­mer at the Farn­bor­ough Air Show. “The cab­in,” explains the release, “show­cas­es Eve’s human-cen­tred design, a qui­et, effi­cient, and sus­tain­able zero-emis­sion eVTOL, and explores its inter­nal fea­tures.”

It goes on, “The vehi­cle design uses a con­ven­tion­al wing with eight rotors fixed around it, pro­vid­ing ver­ti­cal take-off and land­ing capa­bil­i­ties in a sim­ple lift-plus-cruise design, with an acces­si­ble seat con­fig­u­ra­tion for a pilot and four pas­sen­gers.”

Stein con­tin­ued, “Eve’s cur­rent back­log includes a client base spread around five con­ti­nents and mul­ti­ple busi­ness mod­els. This year’s Paris Air­show will be a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to show­case our solu­tions while also work­ing to cham­pi­on sus­tain­able elec­tric Urban Air Mobil­i­ty on a glob­al stage.”

Apart from the mock-up dis­play, mem­bers of Eve’s lead­er­ship team, like Volo­copter, will par­tic­i­pate in mul­ti­ple dis­cus­sions dur­ing the Air­show. For exam­ple, Stein will join a pan­el on new tech­nolo­gies at ISTAT Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Sym­po­sium and also give a fire­side chat to dis­cuss Eve’s Con­cepts of Oper­a­tions to make advanced air mobil­i­ty a real­i­ty.

Mean­while, David Rot­tblatt, Senior Vice Pres­i­dent, Sales, Mar­ket­ing and Gov­ern­ment Affairs, will dis­cuss the future of air­space and the tech­nol­o­gy and infra­struc­ture required to enable eVTOL flights world­wide.
