“Eve Unveils eVTOL New Seating at AIX Event”

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty has cho­sen seats pro­duced by avi­a­tion spe­cial­ist, Recaro, for its eVTOL air­craft. The announce­ment was made this week at the Air­craft Inte­ri­ors Expo (AIX) in Ham­burg.

Ger­many-based Recaro pro­duces air­craft seats for mul­ti­ple types of air­lin­ers, includ­ing the EJet fam­i­ly man­u­fac­tured by Eve’s par­ent com­pa­ny, Embraer. Recaro will sup­ply four pas­sen­ger seats and a sin­gle pilot one for each of Eve’s eVTOL air­craft, and has agreed to deliv­er a total of 75,000 for the man­u­fac­tur­er.

The unveil­ing marks a mile­stone for Recaro, as it expands its port­fo­lio to sup­port the emerg­ing Air Mobil­i­ty Mar­ket.

Designed with the unique demands of elec­tric air trav­el in mind, the seat incor­po­rates advanced light­weight mate­ri­als such as high-grade alu­mini­um, tita­ni­um and com­pos­ites to sup­port ener­gy-effi­cient oper­a­tions.

Johann Bor­dais, CEO of Eve, com­ment­ed, “The UAM indus­try has intro­duced a new range of engi­neer­ing chal­lenges, includ­ing seat­ing. This means align­ing with part­ners who embrace re-engi­neer­ing air­craft from the ground up.”

He con­tin­ued, “Through our col­lab­o­ra­tion with Recaro, we’ve found new and inven­tive ways to make air­craft seat­ing light enough for elec­tric urban flights with­out sac­ri­fic­ing the in-cab­in expe­ri­ence.”

The seat looks mun­dane and quite ordi­nary, sim­i­lar to that found on a bus. It seems the eVTOL indus­try, as a whole, is seek­ing a basic and func­tionary seat, where only Archer Avi­a­tion — to date — is lean­ing towards a more lux­u­ry expe­ri­ence.
