As Eve advances into the next phase of
development, the eVTOL prototype already
has a series of comprehensive testing cam-
paigns. “This extensive testing phase begins
the next fundamental step in our journey,”
said Bordais. “It ensures that our eVTOL
meets the high standards and expectations
we’ve set for performance and safety.”

Diehl Aviation will work with Eve’s engineer-
ing and design team to turn the company’s
vision for an innovative and comfortable
cabin into a reality. ASE will develop and
produce the Primary High Voltage Power
Distribution System, the Primary Low
Voltage Power Distribution System and
the High Voltage DC-DC converter which will
connect the two systems aboard the eVTOL.

Eve’s eVTOL aircraft utilizes eight dedicated
propellers for vertical flight and fixed wings
to fly on cruise, with no change in the posi-
tion of these components during flight. The
latest concept includes an electric pusher
