Eve's Flying Taxi Survived a Wind Tunnel
The company announced on Monday that it has wrapped up wind tunnel testing for its electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle . Using a stationary, 1/3 scale model of the eight propeller craft, suspended from a rig in the air, Eve says it successfully proved that its helicopter-like design could fly—though it hasn’t yet.
. “The testing allows engineers to monitor the flow of air over and around the vehicle and each of its individual parts,” the news release further noted.In other words: getting the right results in a series of stationary wind tests should mean that Eve’s eVTOL is one step closer to actually becoming airborne. “We were able to validate vehicle characteristics and efficiency along with gathering critical data to validate our vehicle design.
Eve says its eVTOL is “projected to enter service in 2026.” The company’s ultimate goal is to create a passenger vehicle that could be used for a “variety of urban air mobility missions.” According to its website, Eve’s vehicle is designed to be 100% electric and have a range of 60 miles. The plan is for it to be piloted by a person at the beginning and then shift to “autonomous operations” after that.
