Lilium Jet

On 4 May 2019, Lilium flew its first flight of an untethered and unmanned five seat Lilium Jet at the Special Airport Oberpfaffenhofen in Munich, Germany. The full-scale prototype was powered by 36 electric ducted fans in configuration inspired by the Eagle prototype aircraft. After the first flight, which consisted primarily of hover, the Lilium Jet has expanded its flight envelope to include conversion to forward flight using the wing for lift, and several safety tests.
