About

Lilium GmbH was a German aerospace company founded in 2015 by four engineers from the Technical University of Munich, developing the Lilium Jet — an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft capable of sustainable, high-speed regional air travel. The company raised approximately $1 billion in funding from investors and went public via SPAC in 2021. Lilium's jet used 30 ducted electric fans embedded in its wings and canards to achieve both vertical lift and forward flight with zero operational emissions. The company filed for insolvency in late 2024 but its operations were subsequently revived under new ownership, with lilium.com continuing active.
