Press Release: Recaro reveals eVTOL seat, developed with Eve

Pioneering in the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft sector, RECARO presents its ingenious eVTOL seating solution together with the Embraer spin-off Eve Air Mobility at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.

Utilizing lightweight materials, such as high-grade aluminum, titanium, and composite materials, the seat maintains minimal weight, enabling energy-efficient flight operations.

“Eve Air Mobility and RECARO combined their expertise to develop lightweight, ergonomic seating that can support the distinct needs of eVTOL flights. The urban air mobility industry introduces a new range of engineering challenges, including seating,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve.

“This means aligning with partners who embrace reengineering aircraft from the ground up. Through our collaboration with RECARO, we’ve found new and inventive ways to make aircraft seating light enough for electric urban flights without sacrificing the in cabin experience.”

“The success of a project like this is only possible when there is a strong collaboration, just as there is between RECARO and Eve Air Mobility,” said Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding.

“Seating for eVTOL aircraft fits perfectly with the capabilities and strengths of RECARO when it comes to lightweight design, superior quality, and outstanding ergonomics. This marks a very exciting moment at AIX 2025.”
