Lilium Updates Shareholders on Progress in Developing Six-Passenger eVTOL Aircraft
The company has reported technical progress in areas such as electric batteries, as well as growing numbers of provisional sales commitments for the LiliumJet.

Lilium’s latest shareholder letter provides a summary of a busy 2022 for the eVTOL aircraft developer as it steps up efforts to complete type certification of its six-passenger Lilium Jet by the end of 2025. The German company reported that in the most recent quarter, it completed the submission of certification plans covering all EASA’s requirements, as well as its third audit to secure design organization approval.

Other accomplishments mentioned in the document include the recent cruise speed record achieved in its Phoenix technology demonstrator during flight tests in Spain. Lilium also now reports provisional sales agreements covering 640 aircraft, including new commitments from Greek charter flight group Ifly, and pre-delivery payments received from eVolare.
