Key Takeaways:

Lilium will publicly debut its full-scale, six-passenger eVTOL Lilium Jet at the European Aviation Business Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva from May 28-30.
This debut marks a significant milestone, with the company targeting the aircraft's first piloted flight by the end of the year and type certification by the end of 2025.
