Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility, discussed the company's progress and strategy in an August 2026 podcast interview. He stated that the decision to develop a third aircraft model was driven by certification considerations, explaining that separating fixed-wing and rotary-wing elements would make it easier for authorities to understand and approve the design. He expressed confidence that the launch of the first eVTOL would lead to successive generations of vehicles, asserting that urban air mobility "is going to happen" and the question is only a matter of timing. Bordais emphasized that Eve's mission is not to create a new electric helicopter but to "transform society" and achieve urban air mobility. He also noted that being first is less important than being right, though he observed that as time passes, the company may achieve both being right and being first. The interview took place shortly after Bordais, a French national who has lived in Brazil for 12 years, received Brazilian citizenship.
