Lilium's vision of an eVTOL future is approaching a moment of truth as the startup prepares for the production of the first batch of aircraft.
Lilium secures more funding as it prepares for small-volume manufacture of its eVTOL craft in 2023, set to compete with helicopters.
Our mid-2010s optimism about air taxis now feels about as dated as our mid-2010s optimism we'd have Level 5 autonomy by now. But not all air taxi startups have vanished into thin air, even if some timeline promises have been downgraded.
Lilium has performed successful flights with several of its prototypes, using the same Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust technology."The proprietary technology at the core of the Lilium Jet is Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust which we have refined through successive generations of aircraft demonstrators," Lilium says.
