Embraerās 2027 eVTOL: Pilotless Sky Uber for Manhattan Gridlock
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Embraer plans to launch the electric air taxi named Eve by 2027, aiming for cities like Manhattan and SĆ£o Paulo.
- ā¢United and SkyWest have preordered hundreds of Eve eVTOLs despite no full-scale prototype flight yet.
- ā¢The four-seater Eve offers a 60-mile range with 8 rotors for redundancy and promises lower noise and cost than helicopters.
- ā¢CEO Johann Bordais envisions a future with pilotless flights and is working with several countries to develop vertiports and infrastructure.
Embraer's Eve eVTOL promises to blitz traffic by 2027 with a chic teal-green octocopter that flies like a quiet helicopter on turbo-cruise. The CEO Johann Bordais dreams of pilotless ridesharing skies where the Waymo of the air whisks you faster than Miami Beach traffic jams. United and SkyWest already preordered hundreds, despite Eve never having flown a full prototype. Meanwhile, rivals Joby and Archer flaunt flight tests targeting 2026 launch dates like cocky teens at a drag race. Eve sports a four-seat cabin, 60 miles range, 8 rotors (16 blades), and plans for autonomous flight that even skeptic safety experts call the aviation equivalent of a trust fall without a net.
