Hard on the heels of its agreement with UK and U.S. helicopter operator Halo Aviation, Embraer spinoff Eve Urban Air Mobility has partnered with Brazil’s Helisul Aviation to develop an ecosystem for aerial ridesharing.

How the early leaders in urban air mobility plan to roll out their air taxi services is becoming more clear: Details about their plans are emerging as parts of deals to go public, with valuations in the billions of dollars.

Obtaining certification from civil aviation authorities is the milestone that eVTOL vehicle manufacturers most seek—it allows them to be first-to-market in what is viewed as a keenly competitive industry.

The energy behind a new industry forming is palpable—excitement about something new, the risk involved, the pace of change.

Joby Aviation has laid out its road map to achieve type certification of its electric air taxi and obtain its air operator certificate in order to begin commercial aerial ridesharing services in U.S. cities in 2024.

Joby Aviation sits atop the rankings of AAM companies in the SMG Consulting AAM Reality Index released June 8.

Explaining artificial intelligence (AI) in a way that meets safety standards and rulemaking is one of the key challenges to fully automating advanced air mobility vehicles.
