Eve Air Mobility, together with Revo, an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) platform in Brazil, and its parent company, Omni Helicopters International Group (OHI), have completed an urban air traffic simulation in São Paulo. The simulation is part of a collaborative effort to develop and advance the AAM ecosystem in one of Brazil’s busiest metropolitan areas.
The simulation used Revo’s helicopters in conjunction with Vector, Eve’s Urban Air Traffic Management (Urban ATM) software solution. Held at Revo’s operations control center, the exercise replicated various urban flight scenarios to evaluate traffic management solutions specific to electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles. Test scenarios included delays on departure and arrival, airspace and weather restrictions, in-flight deviations, and alternate landing protocols. Conducted during the week of October 21, the simulation aimed to validate traffic management services essential for safe eVTOL operations, both at initial deployment and in high-demand use cases.
This simulation represents a broader partnership between Eve and Revo, focused on fostering collaboration across critical AAM stakeholders. The initiative aims to establish protocols for eVTOL operations, air traffic management, and ground support, advancing shared practices in one of the world’s largest helicopter markets. São Paulo's heavy urban traffic and helicopter activity provide a significant testing environment for new urban mobility solutions.
“By working with Revo, we are progressing our commitment to introducing eVTOL services in urban areas and providing a sustainable, efficient transport option,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. He added that the real-world simulation will help lay the foundation for sustainable urban flights in São Paulo.
Revo CEO João Welsh noted, “Developing the necessary infrastructure and engaging stakeholders early will ensure the ecosystem’s growth and address essential challenges to urban air mobility.”
The simulation and ongoing ecosystem development in São Paulo add to Revo’s pre-order of up to 50 of Eve’s eVTOLs and access to Eve TechCare’s service portfolio.
