São Paulo, Brazil: On 10 November, 2025 Eve Air Mobility and Revo have announced the first real-world operational deployment of Eve’s Vector Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) software during the 2025 São Paulo Grand Prix, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of urban air mobility infrastructure. The deployment will take place at Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos), where Revo will use Vector to manage high-volume helicopter operations during the Formula 1 race weekend. The software will support real-time coordination of aircraft movements, ground operations and vertiport activity in one of the most demanding urban aviation environments in Brazil. Vector’s Vertiport and Ground Operations module will be used for the live operation. The module enables scheduling, traffic optimization, aircraft sequencing and digital coordination between air and ground teams. According to Eve Air Mobility, this marks the first time the software will operate outside a test or simulated environment. Eve stated that the deployment represents a critical step in validating Vector’s readiness for large-scale commercial use. The company also confirmed that a Fleet Operations module, designed to support both helicopters and future eVTOL aircraft, is scheduled for release in 2026. The deployment builds on the long-term partnership between Eve and Revo. In June 2025, Revo signed a framework agreement with Eve covering up to 50 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, positioning São Paulo as one of the first cities expected to see large-scale commercial eVTOL services. Eve said real-world operations at a high-traffic international sporting event will provide critical data to refine Vector’s performance, scalability and safety features ahead of future urban eVTOL networks.

Tokyo, Japan: Honda has announced that its full-scale hybrid electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is scheduled to make its first flight in March 2026, marking a significant milestone in the company’s advanced air mobility (AAM) program. The prototype is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. The aircraft features a hybrid-electric propulsion system, combining battery-powered electric motors with a compact internal-combustion turbogenerator. This configuration is designed to extend the aircraft’s range to approximately 400 kilometers, positioning it for potential suburban and intercity operations, beyond short urban “hop-on, hop-off” flights. Honda has conducted extensive subscale testing, with more than 400 successful flights of a roughly one-third-scale demonstrator. These tests validated flight control systems and vertical lift capabilities, paving the way for the full-scale prototype. “At this stage, the first full-scale prototype will demonstrate the aircraft’s fundamental flight capabilities,” Honda said, emphasizing that the integration of the hybrid turbogenerator may debut in a follow-up model. The company has also refined the aircraft’s design since an earlier concept was revealed. The fuselage now features a more uniform cross-section for improved aerodynamics and structural efficiency. The cabin, recognized with a Red Dot Design Concept Award, emphasizes passenger comfort, visibility, and noise reduction. Honda envisions the eVTOL as a versatile urban and regional mobility solution, particularly in areas where charging infrastructure is limited. The hybrid configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing continued flight even if battery levels drop. Challenges remain, including certification of the hybrid-electric configuration and development of infrastructure for takeoff, landing, and maintenance. Honda will work closely with aviation regulators to secure airworthiness approvals and define operational safety standards. Industry analysts note that Honda’s hybrid approach could broaden the applicability of eVTOLs beyond densely populated urban centers, potentially enabling regional air mobility in emerging markets. Honda’s March 2026 flight is expected to set the stage for further testing, regulatory engagement, and eventual commercial deployment, likely in the early 2030s.

Santa Cruz, United States: Joby Aviation has filed a lawsuit against rival Archer Aviation, alleging that the company gained an unfair competitive advantage by using confidential business information taken by a former Joby executive. The complaint, lodged in Santa Cruz County Superior Court, claims the misconduct allowed Archer to pursue a more lucrative arrangement with one of Joby’s key real-estate partners. According to the filing, Joby accuses former employee George Kivork, its ex-head of U.S. state and local policy, of downloading and transferring internal documents days before resigning in July and joining Archer. Joby Aviation says the files included details on partnership agreements, regulatory strategies, vertiport infrastructure plans, and operational data related to its electric aircraft. A forensic review cited in the lawsuit found that Kivork allegedly emailed dozens of files to his personal account and altered permissions on hundreds more, enabling him to retain access after his departure. Joby Aviation argues that Archer later approached a strategic real-estate developer with insight drawn from the leaked information, attempting to outbid Joby’s existing agreement. The company is seeking unspecified monetary damages and an injunction to stop Archer Aviation from using any of the disputed materials. Archer Aviation has rejected the accusations. In a statement, Eric Lentell, Archer’s Chief Legal and Strategy Officer, said the lawsuit “is entirely without merit” and lacks identification of any specific trade secrets. He added that the company has no agreement with the developer referenced in Joby’s complaint and criticised the lawsuit as an attempt to disrupt competitive dynamics in the emerging electric air-taxi sector. The dispute comes as both firms accelerate toward FAA certification and negotiate infrastructure and development partnerships essential for future eVTOL services. Archer previously faced a similar trade-secrets battle with Wisk Aero, which was settled in 2023, but maintains that its compliance systems prevent misuse of any proprietary information from former employees’ previous employers. The court has scheduled the first hearing for March 20, 2026, with the case expected to progress through motions and discovery well into next year.
