Germany-based electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) developer Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM) announced Tuesday it has achieved one of the most challenging hurdles of eVTOL flight: a main wing transition from hovering to horizontal flight in a full-size demonstrator aircraft.
In a news release, the company hailed the achievement, saying it makes its test article “the first ever full-size electric jet aircraft to transition from hover to wing-borne flight.”
