At the 2025 Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, RECARO Aircraft Seating has debuted its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) seating solution for the first time, signalling a significant step into the rapidly evolving world of urban air mobility.
In collaboration with Eve Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Embraer, RECARO has developed an innovative seating concept tailored specifically for eVTOL aircraft. Designed with the unique demands of electric air travel in mind, the seat incorporates advanced lightweight materials such as high-grade aluminium, titanium, and composites to support energy-efficient operations without compromising on passenger comfort.
The eVTOL sector presents a new set of engineering challenges, particularly around weight and spatial efficiency. With aircraft design being reimagined from the ground up, seating must adapt to new cabin layouts and performance requirements. The RECARO-Eve partnership has resulted in a seating solution that not only addresses these needs but also maintains the ergonomic standards and premium quality RECARO is known for.
The unveiling at AIX 2025 marks a milestone for RECARO, as it expands its portfolio to support the emerging air mobility market. The seats reflect a balance of lightweight construction and functional design, essential for the next generation of electric aircraft navigating urban environments.
This development reinforces RECARO’s role as a forward-thinking innovator in aircraft interiors and demonstrates its readiness to meet the demands of sustainable aviation with adaptable, efficient, and passenger-centric solutions.
