Eve Air Mobility, Revo, an advanced air mobility (AAM) platform, and its parent company Omni Helicopters International Group (OHI), will collaborate in Brazil
The partners have also concluded an urban air traffic simulation in São Paulo as part of a strategic partnership to develop the AAM ecosystem in the city. The simulation, which utilised Revo’s helicopters and Vector, Eve’s urban air traffic management (Urban ATM) software solution, took place at Revo’s operations control centre in São Paulo.
In shadowing Revo’s helicopter operations, Vector simulated the management and tracking of eVTOL operations in an urban environment, applying the services necessary to respond to various scenarios, including delay on departure and to destination, airspace/weather constraints, and in-flight deviation to alternate landing locations, among others.
The simulation focused on validating new traffic management services necessary for eVTOLs to conduct safe and reliable operations at entry into services and in high-utilisation use cases at scale.
Eve and Revo have also partnered to encourage critical AAM stakeholder collaboration to develop best-in-class eVTOL operations practices, air management protocols, and ground handling. Renowned for having the world’s largest number of helicopter operations, São Paulo presents a significant opportunity for eVTOLs to revolutionise transportation in one of the world’s largest, most traffic-congested cities.
“This simulation reinforces Eve's efforts to introduce eVTOL flights to metropolitan areas and provide communities with an additional mode of transportation that is safe, sustainable, and efficient,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. “We're delighted to partner with Revo for this initiative to foster the urban air mobility market in Latin America's largest city, aiming to conduct a real-world simulation to set the stage for urban flights in Sao Paulo in a climate-conscious manner.”
