AIX25: Recaro unveils a seat for eVTOL aircraft with Eve Air Mobility

07/04/2025 by Kevincm Leave a Comment

eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicles continue to push forward from concept to reality. And like anything, it will need seats.

RECARO Aircraft Seating (RECARO) is showcasing its eVTOL seating solution for the first time at Aircraft Interiors Expo in collaboration with Eve Air Mobility (a spinoff from Embraer).

RECARO EVE Mobilty eVTOL Seat - Rendering Recaro

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.

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

Here are some first-look photos:

In this concept, the base of the seat comes in at around 3kg, whilst a finished seat comes in nearer 9kg.

Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve said:

“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,”

“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

Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO of RECARO Aircraft Seating and RECARO Holding added:

“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

“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.”

More to go through

We’ve seen a lot at Recaro – and we’ll be back there later this week with some further news. For now, it seems that the concept of Urban Mobility seatings is nearing takeoff as providers will need to scramble to meet this upcoming demand.
