Eve Air Mobility has announced a partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a focused Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) initiative at SunTrax Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FDOT-led initiative will bring together Eve\u2019s expertise in eVTOL aircraft, operations, and services with SunTrax Air\u2019s research, testing, and validation capabilities. The effort will focus on delivering insights into the infrastructure, operational procedures, and airspace navigation procedures needed to enable the safe and efficient integration of Advanced Air Mobility into Florida\u2019s transportation network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFlorida recognizes its strategic role in the future of Advanced Air Mobility and is proactively building the ecosystem needed to support it,\u201d said Johann Bordais, chief executive officer of Eve Air Mobility. \u201cChief Will Watts and the FDOT team understand that successfully introducing a new mode of transportation requires alignment across aircraft, infrastructure, operations, and communities. Building on Embraer\u2019s longstanding relationship with the state, Eve is proud to bring its expertise to help advance Florida\u2019s vision and readiness for eVTOL operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owned and operated by FDOT, SunTrax Air serves as Florida\u2019s dedicated Advanced Air Mobility research and development hub, providing a collaborative environment to evaluate technologies, operational concepts, and supporting infrastructure for next-generation aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis partnership is another step of forward-progress being made in Florida toward achieving the implementation of Advanced Air Mobility,\u201d said Jared W. Perdue, P.E., FDOT Secretary. \u201cThe unique resources and infrastructure found only at SunTrax will play a key role in Eve\u2019s research and testing needed to ensure the safe integration of Advanced Air Mobility into our transportation system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership builds on the growing relationship between Eve and FDOT. Through ongoing collaboration, the organizations will work to position Florida as a national leader in AAM. Using SunTrax Air\u2019s purpose-built research and testing environment, they will evaluate operational concepts, infrastructure readiness, passenger experience, and future ecosystem requirements, creating a foundation that supports Florida\u2019s long-term transportation strategy while helping accelerate the commercialization of Advanced Air Mobility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
