Lilium

The electric jet manufacturer says Atlantic operates sites at more than 30 airport locations within its planned U.S. launch markets, which include Florida and Texas.

The manufacturer of the seven-seat Lilium Jet begins to install a serial production line for the aircraft’s electric propulsion system, which powers 36 electric ducted fans.

The manufacturer’s flagship Lilium Jet—an all-electric seven-seater—will be supported by chargers from Star Charge and the company’s new service, Power-On.

The German manufacturer and its partner will study regional air mobility routes, city pairs, passenger demand, and more in the ASEAN market.

The company, which is building a vertiport at the Florida airport, also backed legislation that would streamline the process for future vertiport approvals.

Many passenger-carrying electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are expected to cost millions to produce, but EHang will sell its EH216-S for far less.

U.K.-based AJW Group will oversee Lilium Jet inventory, provide warehousing and logistics services, and offer repair and asset management as an exclusive partner.

Did you miss the first commercial eVTOL to take flight in the U.S.?

Lufthansa, one of Europe’s largest airlines, previously launched an initiative aimed at slashing its carbon emissions in half by 2030.

The eVTOL manufacturer says it’s ready to start building the first Lilium Jet models, which it plans to use for flight testing with EASA.
