Eve Air Mobility (Eve) and Signature Aviation (Signature), the largest network of private aviation terminals, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the ecosystem requirements and ground services necessary for safe, efficient and scalable advanced air mobility (AAM) operations.
The agreement unites two established leaders in the global aerospace industry: Eve Air Mobility's expertise as an eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) manufacturer and Signature Aviation's expansive network of private aviation terminals. In addition to their research collaboration, the MoU also includes plans to explore potential future commercial partnerships.
“The announcement of our partnership with Eve adds to a transformative year for Signature, while also reinforcing our commitment to shaping the future of aviation through our sustainability initiatives,” said Derek DeCross, Chief Commercial Officer at Signature Aviation. “We're always looking ahead to create and deliver exceptional experiences for our guests, and working towards the most comprehensive ground infrastructure for eVTOL aircraft is a major part of that mission. This collaboration will bring together our experience, resources and creativity to find the most effective path towards innovative, safe and scalable ground operations for advanced air mobility.”
In addition to the MoU, the companies have also signed a letter of intent (LOI) for Vector, Eve's urban air traffic management software. Vector is an agnostic software solution developed to address the unique air traffic and network management challenges associated with both current and future AAM operations. By supporting reliable, efficient and scalable fleet and vertiport operations, Vector enables operators to adapt as the industry evolves. The software is progressing towards an operational version that customers can now test and trial, helping advance the market for AAM.
