Eve Air Mobility oznámila dva kroky v certifikaci Eve 100: ANAC otevřela konzultaci k aktualizovaným kritériím letové způsobilosti a firma požádala EASA o validaci typového osvědčení v Evropě.
Brazil's aviation authority opens consultation with industry stakeholders on updated airworthiness criteria, and Eve applies to begin Type Certificate validation in Europe.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Air Mobility ("Eve" or "the Company") (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31) today announced two important milestones in the certification process for the Eve 100, the Company's electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft: Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has opened a sectoral consultation process on updated airworthiness criteria for the aircraft, and Eve has applied to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to initiate its Type Certificate validation process.
Together, these developments underscore the momentum behind Eve's broader certification strategy and reinforce the Company's disciplined approach to working with leading aviation authorities across Brazil, the United States and Europe to support future international operations. ANAC's publication of the updated criteria marks another important step in the Eve 100 Type Certification process and contributes to the development of a robust regulatory framework for eVTOLs. Comments can be submitted until August 18.
The updated criteria follow ANAC's publication of the first airworthiness criteria for Eve's eVTOL in November 2024 and include revisions aimed at further harmonization with international certification approaches, including the FAA's guidance for powered-lift aircraft. Eve has been working closely with ANAC to support the development of criteria appropriate for the Eve 100's configuration and for the emerging AAM sector.
"ANAC's consultation with industry stakeholders on the updated airworthiness criteria and our application for EASA Type Certificate validation are important demonstrations of the steady advancement of the Eve 100 certification process," said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. "We value the close technical collaboration with ANAC and the engagement with leading aviation authorities as we advance a comprehensive certification approach for new aircraft technologies. These steps further strengthen our path toward type certification and support our work to bring the Eve 100 to key global markets."
Eve formalized the eVTOL Type Certificate application process with ANAC in February 2022, marking the start of the aircraft's certification journey with the Brazilian civil aviation authority. In 2023, Eve engaged the FAA to pursue a concurrent Type Certificate validation process, supporting alignment among certification authorities for the Eve 100 certification basis and means of compliance. The EASA validation application marks another important milestone in this coordinated certification effort, bringing an additional key aviation authority into the program alongside the FAA, where certification activities are already underway.
Tiago Faierstein, ANAC's Director-President, said: "For ANAC, Advanced Air Mobility is a strategic priority, and Brazil can play an important role, in partnership with leading civil aviation authorities worldwide, in supporting safe and harmonized certification processes. At the same time, we are advancing workstreams to develop standards and regulations to ensure the necessary infrastructure and airspace are in place for this aerial innovation, which will soon be integrated into the civil aviation ecosystem. ANAC recognizes that eVTOLs are here to stay and will remain strongly committed to supporting the development of this sector."
Following the consultation period, which will remain open until August 18, ANAC will review the comments received and assess potential refinements to the criteria. Eve will continue working with ANAC on the Eve 100 certification process, while also supporting alignment with other aviation authorities, including the FAA and EASA, as part of its broader international certification strategy. Next steps with EASA include initial product familiarization activities and further technical discussions.
The proposed airworthiness criteria are available here.

ANAC zveřejnila návrh kritérií pro hlukovou certifikaci modelu Eve 100, což je další krok k certifikaci eVTOL. Návrh je otevřen k připomínkám do 8. srpna.
Publication marks a significant milestone in establishing the environmental certification framework for eVTOLs.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Air Mobility ("Eve" or "the Company") (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31) welcomes the publication by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) of the Proposed Noise Certification Criteria for Eve 100, the Company's electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The proposal is open for consultation until August 08 and represents a major step toward establishing the environmental certification framework for eVTOLs. The publication is a key milestone in the Eve 100 certification process and demonstrates continued progress toward type certification.
"ANAC's publication of the proposed noise certification criteria is an important milestone in the development and certification of Eve 100," said Johann Bordais, CEO at Eve. "We appreciate ANAC's leadership and collaborative approach in developing a framework tailored to this emerging technology aircraft. This initiative supports the safe and responsible introduction of eVTOL operations for urban mobility while promoting international regulatory alignment."
As the aviation industry introduces innovative technologies that differ from conventional aircraft, dedicated certification criteria are necessary to address the unique operational and acoustic characteristics of these vehicles. The proposed criteria are the result of extensive engagement between Eve and ANAC and draw on existing aviation noise regulations, adapting them to the specific characteristics of Eve 100 and its future operations.
The consultation also reflects broader international efforts led by aviation authorities and industry stakeholders to develop harmonized approaches to emerging technologies. Eve continues to actively participate in global regulatory discussions, helping support the development of future noise standards for advanced air mobility.
"Aircraft noise is a critical component of aviation environmental certification and an important factor in public acceptance of urban air mobility," said Isabel Lima, Head of Noise and Vibration at Eve. "Noise certification establishes measurement methodologies and compliance criteria, ensuring that new aircraft are introduced with appropriate environmental protection and consideration for surrounding communities."
As part of the certification process, the proposed criteria are intended to evaluate the acoustic characteristics of Eve 100 throughout phases of flight, supporting a comprehensive understanding of the aircraft's environmental footprint before commercial operations begin.
Noise reduction has been a key consideration throughout the development of Eve's eVTOL. Drawing on a lift-plus-cruise architecture, the aircraft has been designed to deliver a quieter experience than conventional helicopters. Eve's approach to community acceptance is also supported by insights from its Visual & Sound Perception Study, conducted in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR). Using virtual reality and sound simulations, the study engaged more than 100 participants across New York, Orlando and San Francisco to better understand how communities perceive the sights and sounds of eVTOL operations in different urban and suburban settings. Alongside acoustic modeling assessments, engineering prototype flight testing continues to support Eve's efforts to better understand and optimize Eve 100's noise characteristics as the program advances.
Following completion of the consultation period, ANAC will review stakeholder contributions and continue work toward finalizing the applicable certification requirements. Eve continues to work closely with ANAC as the primary certification authority, while pursuing international validation activities that support the future global deployment of Eve 100.
