Lilium N.V., developer of the first all-electric vertical\ntake-off and landing (\u201ceVTOL\u201d) jet, today announced that it has begun the next\nphase of flight testing in Spain with its 5th generation technology\ndemonstrator, Phoenix 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the coming months at the ATLAS Flight Test Center,\nLilium plans to extend the flight envelope through full transition and high-speed\nflight. These developments come after successful flight testing with the same\naircraft in southern Germany last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lilium also plans to introduce an additional demonstrator\naircraft, Phoenix 3, which is scheduled to arrive in Spain for first flight\nthis summer. This aircraft is expected to significantly accelerate the flight\ntest campaign, allowing Lilium to increase learnings and reduce program risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with excellent weather conditions, the ATLAS Flight\nTest Center provides optimal infrastructure and enables aircraft to fly over a\nlarge, unpopulated area while transitioning fully to high-speed wing-borne\nflight. The modern facilities and support from the Andalusian Foundation for\nAerospace Development (\u201cFADA\u201d) and Center for Advanced Aerospace Technologies\n(\u201cCATEC\u201d) have been instrumental in setting Lilium up for a successful flight\ntest campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel Wiegand, Co-Founder and CEO of Lilium said: \u201cWe are\nexcited to have kicked off our next phase of flight testing in Spain. This step\ntakes us even closer to reaching our goal of creating a sustainable and\naccessible mode of high-speed, low noise regional air mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
