• Eve Holding closed the hover and low-speed flight-test block for its full-scale eVTOL engineering prototype, logging 59 flights and 2:27:33 of flight time.
• Test data supported validation of control laws and correlation of aerodynamic, propulsion, load, and energy-management models, a key step toward transition flight testing.
• The prototype expanded low-speed operations to about 20 knots ground speed, reached 215 feet AGL, and recorded a longest flight of 3:48.
• The campaign included initial demonstrations of autoland and a simplified fly-by-wire mode; measured noise aligned with expectations while propulsion and battery performance exceeded internal targets.
• Ground tests are scheduled next, with transition flights planned to start in summer 2026 (July/August) to validate lifter-pusher synchronization ahead of wingborne flight.
