Lilium has appointed a new chief technology officer and head of design organization to oversee the development and certification of its five-seat, all-electric Lilium Jet eVTOL aircraft. Alastair McIntosh, formerly managing director and head of engineering and technology with Rolls-Royce Germany, took on the position in late December.

The appointment further strengthens the German company’s management team as it aims to meet its target of beginning commercial flights in 2025. In November it recruited Geoffrey Richardson as its new chief financial officer.
