In our latest episode we are joined by Megha Bhatia, chief commercial officer at Eve Air Mobility. 

A spinoff of Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer, Eve is primarily developing a piloted battery-electric eVTOL capable of carrying four passengers and their luggage over a range of about 100km. 

Having assembled its first full-scale eVTOL prototype in autumn 2024, the company is working through a series of test campaigns to assess the aircraft. 

Joining around the same time as the first prototype was completed, Megha arrived at Eve from her role as chief strategy officer at JSSI. Before that she held a series of leadership roles at Rolls-Royce over a span of more than a decade, culminating in vice president of Sales & Marketing for Business Aviation.

Our conversation touches on Eve's aircraft, company vision, day one operations, relationship with Embraer, benefits of being Brazilian, progress with Brazilian aviation regulator ANAC, plus much more besides.
