The cockpit for the Lilium Jet eVTOL aircraft includes Garmin's standby flight instrument displays.

Lilium’s engineering team this week started integrating Garmin’s flight instruments into early examples of its six-passenger eVTOL aircraft. The German manufacturer has received the first delivery of the standby flight instruments that will form part of the Lilium Jet’s avionics suite under a multi-year supplier agreement signed with Garmin in 2023.

The instruments provide a fully redundant backup to the primary cockpit displays to allow pilots to land safely if these fail. The redundancy is part of the basis for the dual type certification Lilium is pursuing with both EASA and the FAA.
