Eve, an aircraft manufacturer controlled by Embraer, said this week that it has successfully completed wind tunnel testing of its “flying car”. According to the company, eVTOL is expected to begin commercial operation in 2016. Positive flight test results are the first step towards project completion.

Embraer aims to obtain aircraft certification in 2026. For this, the flight tube test is the first big step towards the success of the company’s plans. The tunnels are installations to simulate the movement of air and wind, and during testing, the company conducts aerodynamic studies and guarantees the safety of the project. The Brazilian company is investing in the eVTOL segment (electric vehicles that can land and take off vertically). Eva claims that the results obtained during the tests will be decisive for obtaining the certificate of the aircraft. If all goes according to plan, in 2026 users will be able to make commercial trips on Embraer’s “flying cars”.

Flexible travel without traffic jams

According to Embraer CEO Daniel Mochidlover, the company aims to offer users the opportunity to travel without traffic jams. The cost of a 15-minute ride should remain between $50 and $100, at least during project launch. “The comparison parameter is how much you would spend on the same taxi journey, only stuck in traffic for two or three hours. We want to be able to use the same money to fly 10 or 15 minutes.“, commented Daniel in an interview with G1.

unmanned aircraft

According to Embraer, the aircraft will be operated without a pilot and by 2026 the company aims to allow simultaneous operation of 200 eVTOL in the city of Rio de Janeiro and 300 eVTOL in the city of Sao Paulo. All aircraft will be controlled by a traffic control system that ensures route safety.
