The CAE 3000 series full-flight simulator will be the first such device delivered to the Embraer-CAE joint venture following its selection in October 2024 as Eve’s training provider. The announcement was made during the Singapore Airshow. The simulator will be integrated into CAE’s global training network, although the final installation location has not been specified.

 

The simulator is expected to support both pilot training and certification activities for Eve’s eVTOL aircraft programme.

 

Eve Air Mobility plans to conduct more than 300 test flights involving six near-production-standard aircraft during 2026. The company is targeting type certification for its four-passenger Eve-100 eVTOL aircraft, with first customer deliveries planned for 2027.

 

Embraer-CAE Training Services was established in 2007 and operates business aviation training centres in Dallas, Las Vegas, São Paulo, the United Kingdom and Vienna. The organisation initially supported pilot and ground crew training for Embraer’s Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 aircraft.

 

The CAE 3000 series simulator incorporates a detailed flight deck replica, high-fidelity motion cueing and the CAE Prodigy Visual System to support training requirements for commercial single-pilot eVTOL operations, particularly in dense urban operating environments.

 

Alexandre Prévost, CAE President for Civil Aviation, said high-fidelity simulation will be essential in preparing the first generation of eVTOL pilots and supporting safe entry into service of the new aircraft type. He added that the simulator supports development of a scalable and certifiable training ecosystem for advanced air mobility operations.

 

Separately, during the Singapore Airshow, Japanese helicopter broker AirX placed a firm order for two Eve Air Mobility eVTOL aircraft and secured options for an additional 48 aircraft. The order represents the first firm commitment for Eve aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region.
