Embraer's electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturing arm Eve Air Mobility has collaborated with Brazilian advanced air mobility (AAM) platform Revo, as well as its parent company Omni Helicopters International Group (OHI), to develop an AAM ecosystem in the country.
The companies concluded their urban air traffic simulation in Sao Paulo as part of the AAM ecosystem development for the city. The simulation focussed on validating new traffic management services for eVTOL operations to ensure safe and reliable use. It took place at Revo's operations control centre in the city.
The simulation used Revo's helicopters and Eve's urban air traffic management software solution Vector. In shadowing Revo’s helicopter operations, Vector simulated the management and tracking of eVTOL operations in an urban environment applying the services necessary to respond to various scenarios. This included delays to destinations and arrivals, airspace and weather constraints, in-flight deviation to alternate landing locations, as well as other scenarios.
"This simulation reinforces Eve's efforts to introduce eVTOL flights to metropolitan areas and provide communities with an additional mode of transportation that is safe, sustainable, and efficient," said EVE CEO Johann Bordais.
Revo pre-ordered up to 50 of Eve's eVTOL aircraft.
