CAE Delivers First Eve eVTOL Full-Flight Simulator for Pilot Training and Certification

CAE has sold a full-flight simulator for Eve Air Mobility's eVTOL aircraft to Embraer-CAE Training Services, supporting both aircraft certification and commercial pilot training ahead of Eve's planned entry into service.

The CAE 3000 series simulator, announced at Singapore Airshow 2026, will be the first training device operated by ECTS following its October 2024 selection as Eve's training provider. The simulator supports single-pilot eVTOL operations training for urban air mobility environments.

The device features CAE's Prodigy Visual System powered by Unreal Engine, providing photorealistic urban environment simulation for approach and landing training in dense cityscapes. The FFS includes high-fidelity motion cueing and precision flight deck replication for Eve's eVTOL configuration.

"As development at Eve Air Mobility progresses, high-fidelity simulation is key to training the first wave of pilots and ensuring safe entry into service," said Alexandre Prévost, President of Civil Aviation at CAE and ECTS board member.

The simulator will support aircraft certification activities while enabling pilot training before Eve aircraft deliveries begin. No delivery date was disclosed.

ECTS will integrate the device into its global training network, offering pilot, maintenance, and ground handling training as part of Eve's EveTechCare aftermarket services portfolio. The joint venture between Embraer and CAE leverages Embraer's operational experience and CAE's training facility footprint in major aviation hubs.

"This simulator is a critical investment in ensuring Eve pilots receive world-class training as we advance toward commercial operations," said Luiz Mauad, Vice President of Customer Services at Eve Air Mobility.

Eve Air Mobility, an Embraer subsidiary, is developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for urban air taxi operations.
