The headings and paragraph numbers in this letter correspond to those contained in the Comment Letter and, to facilitate the Staff’s review, we have reproduced the text of the Staff’s comments in bold and italics below. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.

General
1. It appears that you seek the register the primary offering of common stock that will be issuable upon conversion of debt that is not yet outstanding. Please explain how you are eligible to use Form S-3 for this aspect of your transaction in light of the requirement in General Instruction I.B.4 that the convertible security be outstanding at the time of registration.
Response : The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure in the explanatory note of the Registration Statement, the cover page of the Prospectus and pages ii and 28 of the Prospectus to reflect that the Company is not registering the primary offering of common stock that will be issuable upon conversion of debt that is not yet outstanding, in accordance with the Staff’s comment .
2. Please explain why the resale transaction of shares held by Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc. should not be designated as an indirect primary offering by or behalf of the registrant. Refer generally to Question 612.09 of our Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Response : The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure in the explanatory note of the Registration Statement, the cover page of the Prospectus and pages ii, 2, 3, 30 and 32 of the Prospectus to acknowledge that Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc. will be deemed to be an underwriter and that, as a result, the offering of shares by Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc. would be deemed to be an indirect primary offering by the Company , in accordance with the Staff’s comment .
We hope that the foregoing has been responsive to the Staff’s comments and look forward to resolving any outstanding issues as quickly as possible. Please contact me at (212) 735-7886 or thomas.greenberg@skadden.com if the Staff has any questions or requires additional information.

We note your response to comment 4 and reissue. Please revise to include the percentage that the shares being registered for resale currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding and disclose that even though the current trading price is below the SPAC IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the public investors. In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 54 of the Amended Registration Statement. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 98 2. We note your response to comment 5 and reissue. In light of the significant number of redemptions, the current market price for shares of your common stock and the unlikelihood that you will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the common stock, expand your discussion to address any changes in the company’s liquidity position since the business combination. Specifically, we note that you expect approximately $540 million will be required to fund your business plan, received approximately $377 of gross proceeds as a result of your business combination and did not borrow any additional debt in connection with your business combination. Disclose your plan to fully fund your business plan and, if you are likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on your ability to raise additional capital. In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 94-96 of the Amended Registration Statement. General 3. We note your response to comment 7 and reissue in part. Revise to disclose for each applicable selling securityholder that while such selling securityholder may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price.

Filed July 29, 2022
File No. 333-265337
Dear Ms. Pavie:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our June 27, 2022 letter.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
The securities being offered in this prospectus represent a substantial percentage of outstanding
common stock..., page 54
1.We note your response to comment 4 and reissue. Please revise to include the percentage
that the shares being registered for resale currently represent of the total number of shares
outstanding and disclose that even though the current trading price is below the SPAC
IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because they will still profit on
sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the public investors.

2.We note your response to comment 5 and reissue. In light of the significant number of
redemptions, the current market price for shares of your common stock and the
unlikelihood that you will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants
because of the disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading
price of the common stock, expand your discussion to address any changes in the
company’s liquidity position since the business combination. Specifically, we note that
you expect approximately $540 million will be required to fund your business plan,
received approximately $377 of gross proceeds as a result of your business combination
and did not borrow any additional debt in connection with your business combination.
Disclose your plan to fully fund your business plan and, if you are likely to have to seek
additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on your ability to raise additional
capital.
General
3.We note your response to comment 7 and reissue in part. Revise to disclose for each
applicable selling securityholder that while such selling securityholder may experience a
positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may
not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences
in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please also disclose the potential
profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price.
Please contact Evan Ewing at 202-551-5920 or Jay Ingram at 202-551-3397 with any
questions.

For ease of reference, each comment contained in the Comment Letter is printed below in bold and is followed by the Company’s response. All page references in the responses set forth below refer to page numbers in Amendment No.1. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in Amendment No.1. Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A General 1. Revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders by including a sensitivity analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosure on pages xvi, xvii, xxvii, xxviii and xxix. 2. Please revise to disclose all possible sources and extent of dilution that shareholders who elect not to redeem their shares may experience in connection with the business combination. Provide disclosure of the impact of each significant source of dilution, including the amount of equity held by founders, convertible securities, including warrants retained by redeeming shareholders, at each of the redemption levels detailed in your sensitivity analysis, including any needed assumptions. United States Securities and Exchange Commission February 9, 2022 Response In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages xvii, xxviii and 7. 3. Please highlight the material risks to public warrant holders, including those arising from differences between private and public warrants. Clarify whether recent common stock trading prices exceed the threshold that would allow the company to redeem public warrants. Clearly explain the steps, if any, the company will take to notify all shareholders, including beneficial owners, regarding when the warrants become eligible for redemption. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosures on pages xxxv, xxxvi and 61. 4. We note that certain shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights. Please describe any consideration provided in exchange for this agreement. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosures on page 17, 58, and 147. 5. We note that you plan to issue shares of common stock assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved. Please advise us of the exemption from the Securities Act that you are relying upon and provide an analysis supporting the use of such exemption. Response: If the Business Combination Proposal is approved, shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued to EAH and the PIPE Investors at the Closing pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the Subscription Agreements. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that these proposed issuances of common stock will be made upon the exemption from registration as provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts from registration transactions by an issuer not involving any “public offering.” The Company determined that the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement in the Equity Exchange does not involve a “public offering” because such shares will only be issued to one party, EAH, an accredited investor. The Company similarly made such determination regarding the issuance of shares of common stock in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. Such determination was based on the limited number of PIPE Investors, each of whom is an accredited investor or qualified institutional buyer, and the manner of such issuances, including that there has been no general solicitation or advertising to market the issuance of such securities, each Strategic Investor privately negotiated its own subscription and each PIPE Investor has made customary private placement representations to the Company in its Subscription Agreement. 2 United States Securities and Exchange Commission February 9, 2022 Summary of the Proxy Statement, page 1 6. We note your disclosure that Zanite has agreed to issue to the Strategic Investors new warrants in connection with the achievement of certain UAM Business milestones. Please disclose the UAM Business milestones. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosures on pages xv, xxix and 11. 7. Please include disclosure regarding potential dilution related to the issuance of warrants to PIPE investors. Response: The Company respectfully refers the Staff to the disclosures added on pages xvii, xxviii and 7 described in the Company’s response to the Staff’s comment number 2 above. The Proposed Charter includes a forum selection clause, page 65 8. We note your disclosure that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under federal securities laws. Please revise this disclosure so that it is consistent with Article XII(B) of the Proposed Charter. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 240 and 241. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 78 9. We note that Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc. (“EAH”) has entered into put option agreements with certain strategic PIPE investors to provide “price protections in the amount of up to their $30 million aggregate commitments in the form of credits for parts and services or cash in exchange for the transfer of their shares to EAH.” Please tell us how you plan to account for this feature, including reference to the technical guidance that supports your accounting and presentation. Also tell us how you determined this agreement should not be reflected in your pro forma financial statements. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has determined that the put option agreements EAH has entered into with certain Strategic Investors do not have an impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In evaluating the various Put Option Agreements with certain Strategic Investors, we determined that the relevant put option features contained therein were freestanding in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity for the following reasons: (i) the Company is not party to the instrument and does not have any obligations thereunder and (ii) the put option can be legally detached and separately exercised. Therefore, the put transactions are arrangements entered into between EAH and future public shareholders of the Company that do not have any accounting implications for the Company. Indeed, if the applicable Strategic Investor were to exercise its put option and receive in return a credit note, the relevant agreements provide that such credit note may be presented as payment for parts and services provided by EAH (or a subsidiary of EAH in the United States), which should not impact the Company. These arrangements should not impact the accounting of the pro forma combined entity but rather will be accounted for by EAH. Therefore, no pro forma adjustment is necessary. 3 United States Securities and Exchange Commission February 9, 2022 10. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we note that Zanite Acquisition Corp. will pay EAH 75% of certain net tax savings realized, or deemed realized, in periods after the closing of the business combination. We further note that under the Tax Sharing Agreement, Zanite will provide payments to EAH based on the increase to the parent’s income tax liability as a result of being a member of a consolidated group for tax purposes. Please tell us and clearly disclose your anticipated accounting treatment for these agreements. Such disclosure should clarify for investors their impact on your balance sheet and statement of operations and include, but not necessarily be limited to, a description of how you account for the initial recognition of the obligations, subsequent changes in the measurement of the obligations, and the financial statement line items impacted. Quantify the related amounts or a range of amounts for the periods presented and include pro forma adjustments reflecting the distributions or advise us why such adjustments are not necessary. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosures on pages 84 and 85. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, page 86 11. Within the pro adjustment (l) description, you disclose that new warrants to be issued contingent upon certain future milestones are considered share-based payment awards granted to nonemployees and are within the scope of ASC 606. Please explain to us why you account for these awards within the scope of ASC 606 as opposed to ASC 718. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 91. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations, page 88 12. We note that pro forma adjustment (f) reflects the reclassification of public warrants from liability to equity on your balance sheet. Since your pro forma statements of operations are giving effect to transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2020, please remove the related change in derivative fair values related to these warrants or explain why you do not believe such adjustments are necessary. Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 92 to remove the change in derivative fair values related to the public warrants. The Company also respectfully advises the Staff that, in considering whether or not to eliminate the change in fair values of derivative liabilities in the Preliminary Proxy Statement, we noted diversity in practice with a number of precedents retaining the derivative fair value impact in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. We considered both presentations and ultimately decided to retain the derivative fair value impact in the previously filed Preliminary Proxy Statement because, by analogy, we likened them to non-recurring transaction costs which are no longer eliminated from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations in accordance with SEC Release 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses (Final Rule). 4 United States Securities and Exchange Commission February 9, 2022 Service Agreements, page 119 13.

Please revise your disclosure in this section to include negotiations relating to material terms of the transaction, including, but not limited to, structure, consideration, proposals and counter-proposals and size of PIPE. In your revised disclosure, please explain the reasons for the terms, each party’s position on the issues, and how you reached agreement on the final terms. Please also discuss the negotiations related to the material ancillary agreements related to the business combination. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosures on pages 131 to 134. 15. Please elaborate on what led to Zanite’s management team’s initial meeting with Eve’s management team. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 131. 16. Please elaborate on what terms were revised in the February 23, 2021 draft of the LOI. Please also discuss the changes made in the various amendments to the LOI. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 132 to 134. Strategic Warrant, Lock-Up Agreements and Put Option Agreements, page 122 17.

Please reconcile this with the disclosure that you do not expect to generate revenue “unless and until [you] obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize [y]our first eVTOL” and the disclosure that Eve does not expect to obtain type certification for its first eVTOL until 2025. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 144, 145 and 211. Interests of Zanite’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination, page 136 21. Please revise the conflicts of interest discussion so that it highlights all material interests in the transaction held by the sponsor and the company’s officers and directors.

why none of those additional expenses should be reflected in your historical financial
