Background and Vision 

More than 20% of all carbon emissions are caused by transportation. We think this needs to change. We have built Lilium on sustainable principles and are firmly committed to becoming 100% CO2 neutral.

The Lilium Jet, with fully electric engines and zero operating emissions is at the core of this vision. It allows us to be sure that every journey taken with us will help to reduce emissions. Given the state of our environment, doing anything less would be irresponsible. As a brand-new type of aircraft, the Lilium Jet will be able to deliver regional journeys that are considerably faster than rail or road, yet competitive in price. The demonstrator aircraft first flew in May 2019 and is a five-seater, fully-electric aircraft that can take-off and land vertically (eVTOL). Lilium expects to service a sizeable global market demand by connecting communities at a fraction of the cost of conventional high-speed infrastructure, with zero operating emissions.
