Eve Air Mobility has selected BETA Technologies to supply electric pusher motors for its conforming prototypes and production aircraft. With a current backlog of 2,800 eVTOLs, Eve is strengthening its supply chain through this collaboration. The agreement represents a potential 10-year opportunity for BETA of up to USD $1 billion and reinforces Eve’s commitment to proven technologies and dedication to exceeding mission requirements.
Initial Evaluation Validated BETA Motors in Eve’s Engineering Prototype
The agreement follows an initial evaluation period in which Eve purchased, tested, and validated the performance of BETA motors in its Engineering Prototype in anticipation of its first flight, which is expected to take place late this year/early 2026.
“A Pivotal Milestone in Advancing Our eVTOL Program” – Johann Bordais, Eve CEO
“Integrating BETA Technologies into our supply chain is a pivotal milestone in advancing our eVTOL program,” said Johann Bordais, Chief Executive Officer of Eve Air Mobility. “Their electric motor technology will play a critical role in powering our aircraft during cruise, supporting the maturity of our propulsion architecture as we progress toward entry into service. This collaboration underscores our commitment to working with suppliers who share our rigorous safety standards and deliver proven engineering solutions—driving performance, efficiency, and sustainability as we bring urban air mobility to life.”
BETA’s Proprietary Electric Propulsion Systems Feature Redundancy and Fewer Parts
BETA designs and manufactures its proprietary electric propulsion systems, offering industry-leading power-to-weight ratios and energy-conversion efficiencies. The simple designs feature segment redundancy and significantly fewer parts than traditional aircraft engines, translating into high safety and low cost.
“Proven Performance in Thousands of Real-World Operations” – Kyle Clark, BETA CEO
“We’re excited to work with Eve Air Mobility and supply our electric propulsion technology to their production program,” said BETA’s CEO and Founder, Kyle Clark. “Our pusher motors have already proven high performance and reliability in thousands of demanding real-world operations across the globe, and our manufacturing capability will allow us to deliver these systems at scale to support Eve’s aircraft. This collaboration is another step in moving electric aviation toward commercialization and adoption.”
Strategic Supplier Addition Reinforces Eve’s Commitment to Proven Technologies
The selection of BETA Technologies underscores Eve’s commitment to selecting as suppliers leading aerospace innovators to power its conforming prototypes and production aircraft. BETA’s proven expertise in electric propulsion systems and its commitment to robust, high-performance designs were key factors in this strategic supplier addition.
