## Summary

Raised $150M debt (Jan 2026). $1.2B total funding backed by Embraer. Completed first full-scale eVTOL flight Dec 2025. 300 test flights planned in 2026.

## Company Overview

Eve Air Mobility is an eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) company backed by Embraer, the Brazilian aerospace manufacturer, giving it supply chain, manufacturing, and certification expertise that pure-software eVTOL startups lack. The company secured $150 million in debt financing in January 2026 from Itaú, Citibank, and Mitsubishi UFJ, bringing total funding to $1.2 billion and confirming a runway through 2028.

Eve completed its first full-scale eVTOL flight in December 2025, transitioning into an intensive 300-test-flight campaign in 2026 — the most extensive prototype testing schedule of any eVTOL company for the year. This pace of flight testing is essential for ANAC (Brazilian aviation authority) and FAA certification timelines, with commercial service targeted for the late 2020s.

Embraer's backing differentiates Eve from competitors: the parent company provides engineering resources, production facilities, MRO networks, and regulatory relationships built over five decades of commercial aircraft manufacturing. This reduces Eve's manufacturing risk and certification timeline compared to startups building both the aircraft and the aerospace supply chain simultaneously.
