ACNZ is developing a composite, single‑engine AC‑2 cargo aircraft, aiming for rapid prototyping, Part 23 certification, and electric/autonomous capability.
Eve and Hitachi Energy will develop vertiport charging infrastructure, grid integration and battery reuse to support scalable global eVTOL air taxi operations.
Business aviation updates include eVTOL developments, training expansions and new partnerships across maintenance, urban air mobility and drone delivery sectors.
Fixed-base operators (FBO) are beginning to position their networks for electric aircraft, part of a bet that early advanced air mobility (AAM) operations will emerge from existing airport infrastructure.
When Eve Air Mobility’s EVE-100 engineering demonstrator lifted briefly into a controlled hover for the first time on Dec. 19, the moment marked a long-anticipated milestone for the Embraer-backed startup.
