Lilium Starts Production of the Lilium Jet in Watershed

Lilium N.V. has reached a pivotal moment, transitioning from designing to manufacturing its all-electric Lilium Jet. The arrival of the fuselage to their assembly line in Wessling, Germany, marks this significant shift. The company’s CEO, Klaus Roewe, proudly states, “To see the first aircraft fuselage on the final assembly line ready to join up with the canard and wings is a proud moment for everyone involved in our mission to make aviation sustainable.” This sentiment underscores the collective dedication to advancing sustainable aviation.

Lilium’s production involves an intricate network of experienced tier-one suppliers, each contributing specialized parts and systems for the Lilium Jet. Yves Yemsi, COO of Lilium, recognizes this collaboration, saying, “I’d like to pay tribute not only to all Lilians, but also to the support and commitment of each of our suppliers and partners.” This highlights the cohesive effort behind the Jet’s production, essential for its success.
