Eve Air Mobility selected Thales air data solution to equip its future eVTOL, providing pilots and onboard systems with critical information, such as airspeed, airflow and altitude, to ensure the safe and efficient flight of the aircraft, in all weather conditions.
Electric Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is emerging as a solution to the dual challenge of traffic congestion and reducing the environmental impact of transport in urban areas. 100% electric, EVE’s aircraft has seduced the market, amassing letters of intent for more than 2,800 aircraft.
Powered by eight lift rotors and one push propeller and featuring fixed wings, the aircraft requires a light and compact air data solution offering superior performance in both the low- and high-speed conditions of vertical flight and cruise flight.
Comprising MEMS sensors (Micro Electro Mechanical System) and a computer, Thales air data solution inherits from more than 20 years’ experience of in-house development and series production of MEMS pressure sensors and millions of flight hours in regional air transportation, military aircraft and helicopters. It offers the lowest Size, Weight and Power ratio (SWaP) on the market and optimized performance for vertical Take Off and Landing as well as cruise speed conditions.
While more than 50,000 air data units have been delivered for conventional aircraft, this new-generation solution extends Thales’s recognized product range to the booming Urban Air Mobility Market.
