RECARO Aircraft Seating has developed a seat for eVTOLs, and showcased it for the first time at AIX 2025.
The seat was made in collaboration with Eve Air Mobility, and uses high -grade aluminium, titanium, and composite materials for weight efficiency.
“Eve Air Mobility and RECARO combined their expertise to develop lightweight, ergonomic seating that can support the distinct needs of eVTOL flight,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility. “The urban air mobility industry introduces a new range of engineering challenges, including seating. 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,” commented 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.”
