Company mission
To enable a world where anyone can fly wherever they want, whenever they want.
Our take
Lilium have designed a unique aircraft with the potential to completely revolutionise the travel industry, capable of delivering regional journeys considerably faster than rail or road but is competitive in price.
The Lilium Jet takes off and lands vertically, like a helicopter, but with a fraction of the noise and cost. They hope to provide a fleet of carbon neutral, electric air taxis in cities around the world with on demand pay-per-ride services, minimising the need for ground-based transport infrastructures and reduce congestion caused by increased urbanisation.
Lilium became a publicly traded company in 2021, and has continued to attract a significant amount of investment. This will help the company continue the development of its Lilium Jet to achieve its next milestone: to offer commercial flights in upcoming years with a focus on providing a regional intercity service in areas across the US and Germany.
