Lilium announced this week that production of the battery packs for its Lilium Jet has commenced. The company expects to conduct the first piloted flight with its eVTOL aircraft by the end of the year and to achieve EASA type certification before 2026.

“Battery technology is central to the goal of delivering sustainable regional air mobility, including overcoming the challenges of developing and industrializing a battery pack that will meet the stringent safety standards of aircraft certification,” said Lilium chief operating officer Yves Yemsi.
