These are integrated into the wing flaps that Lilium says provides advantages in payload, aerodynamic efficiency and a lower noise profile while also offering the thrust vector control needed to manoeuvre the electric jet through each phase of flight.<\/p>\n<p>With a wingspan of 13.9m and a length of 8.5 m, the Lilium Jet will have a cruise altitude of 3,000m and a cruise speed of 280km\/h. But it won&#8217;t be able to travel at that speed for very long as it has a range of around 250km.<\/p>\n<p>The Lilium Jet isn&#8217;t vapourware &#8211; the following is a video of a test flight back in 2019.

The 650+ strong Lilium team includes approximately 400 aerospace engineers according to the company. That&#8217;s a lot of nerd power for getting stuff done.<\/p>\n<p>Lead test pilot for the project is Markus Scherdel. Mr. Scherdel was formerly a Chief Pilot for Solar Impulse, a project that (eventually) saw the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft running only on solar energy (stored in lithium-ion batteries).<\/p>\n<h2>Lilium Aiming For 2024<\/h2>\n<p>Lilium announced yesterday it had partnered with CustomCells, which develops and manufactures application-specific battery cells at its facilities in Itzehoe and T\u00fcbingen in Germany. CustomCells says it has successfully completed more than 1,400 projects to date and will be producing <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lithium\u00e2\u20ac\u201csilicon_battery\">silicon-anode lithium-ion batteries<\/a> for Lilium.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Bringing together two German innovators in energy and aerospace, with guaranteed production capacity at CUSTOMCELLS\u2019s state-of-the-art research and production sites in Germany, this partnership will play a crucial role in scaling up production of the 7-Seater Lilium Jet ahead of planned commercial launch in 2024,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/lilium.com\/newsroom-detail\/lilium-partners-with-customcells-to-produce-high-performance-silicon-anode-batteries-for-the-7-seater-lilium-jet\">stated Lilium<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Among the other companies involved is Honeywell, which is developing avionics and flight control systems for the electric jet.<\/p>\n<p>Lilium intends operating routes between a network of cities, enabling faster travel than existing high-speed alternatives and at a comparable cost per trip. Comparable to what isn&#8217;t clear, but it&#8217;s probably safe to say it wouldn&#8217;t be economy Jetstar.<\/p>\n<p>It appears the USA will be among the first countries where Lilium will operate, from &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/lilium.com\/newsroom-detail\/designing-a-scalable-vertiport\">vertiports<\/a>&#8221; featuring high-powered chargers. Vertiport design is based around a limited set of modules standardized as much as possible that can also be prefabricated off-site.<\/p>\n<p>Lilium has also announced plans for launch networks in Germany through partnerships with Munich, Nuremberg, Dusseldorf, and Cologne\/Bonn airports. Luxembourg-based Luxaviation Group will support Lilium in building out airline operations across Europe.<\/p>\n<p><b>Trivia<\/b> &#8211; the word Lilium sounds like it could be a rare earth mineral used in a cutting-edge battery system.
