Germany-based electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM) has begun flying its fifth-generation demonstrator at a facility in Villacarrillo, Spain.  Lilium made the announcement Monday in an Instagram post, showing video of its electric powered ducted fan aircraft Phoenix 2 taking flight.  A post shared by Lilium (@liliumaviation) “We’ve begun the next phase of our flight testing at the ATLAS Flight Center in Spain with the first hover flights,” Lilium said in the post “We plan to conduct a full campaign including extending the flight envelope through to full transition and high-speed flight.” The company also intends to add an additional demonstrator aircraft—Phoenix 3—which is expected to begin flying at the test facility this summer Lilium says the new eVTOL will result in a significantly accelerated flight test campaign and allow engineers to learn more about the developing technology The announcement came a few days after Lilium alerted investors it expects to achieve EASA type certification for its Lilium Jet seven-seat production aircraft sometime in 2025—a year later than its initial estimate Lilium blamed the delay on the “current status of our design activities and our discussions with regulators and suppliers as well as current supply chain dynamics.” Lilium’s propulsion system uses ducted fans embedded across the aircraft’s wings and forward canards the company said it was reducing the number of ducted fan propulsors in its aircraft from 36 to 30.  The decision will result in reduced total aircraft weight as well as improved aerodynamic balance Engineers working with ducted fan propulsor technology typically face challenges related to high disc loading (Disc load is defined as the total aircraft weight divided by the aggregate area of the lift rotors on the aircraft.) For this reason ducted fan designs traditionally require more thrust and more powerful battery systems than alternative propulsion systems Lilium has said it aims to mitigate high disc load with an extremely efficient cruise flight and an optimized fixed wing architecture the Lilium Jet  eVTOL is designed to fly zero-emission routes between 40 and 200 km (22 and 108 nm) at speeds up to 300 km/h (162 knots) The company has had significant success forging global partnerships in anticipation of the Lilium Jet. Last year, Lilium announced a provisional agreement with Brazilian airline Azul to buy $1 billion in Lilium aircraft. Last month, it announced partnerships with NetJets and FlightSafety International NetJets also said it will run flight operations for a Lilium air taxi route network planned for Florida developer of the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) jet today announced that it has begun the next phase of flight testing in Spain with its 5th generation technology demonstrator Over the coming months at the ATLAS Flight Test Center Lilium plans to extend the flight envelope through full transition and high-speed flight These developments come after successful flight testing with the same aircraft in southern Germany last year Lilium also plans to introduce an additional demonstrator aircraft which is scheduled to arrive in Spain for first flight this summer This aircraft is expected to significantly accelerate the flight test campaign allowing Lilium to increase learnings and reduce program risks Together with excellent weather conditions the ATLAS Flight Test Center provides optimal infrastructure and enables aircraft to fly over a large unpopulated area while transitioning fully to high-speed wing-borne flight The modern facilities and support from the Andalusian Foundation for Aerospace Development (“FADA”) and Center for Advanced Aerospace Technologies (“CATEC”) have been instrumental in setting Lilium up for a successful flight test campaign Co-Founder and CEO of Lilium said: “We are excited to have kicked off our next phase of flight testing in Spain This step takes us even closer to reaching our goal of creating a sustainable and accessible mode of high-speed This communication contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws statements regarding Lilium N.V.’s proposed business and business model the markets and industry in which Lilium N.V the “Lilium Group”) operate or intend to operate the anticipated timing of the commercialization and launch of the Lilium Group’s business in phases and the expected results of the Lilium Group’s business and business model These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions Such statements are based on management’s belief or interpretation of information currently available Forward-looking statements are predictions projections and other statements about future events that are based on management’s current expectations with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risk and uncertainties and subject to change at any time The Lilium Group operates and will continue to operate in a rapidly changing emerging industry you should not rely on or place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements including any statements regarding the timing or prospective outcome of Lilium’s flight-testing campaigns and the timing of launch or manner in which any proposed eVTOL network or anticipated commercial activities will operate Actual events or results may differ materially from those contained in the projections or forward-looking statements Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication the following risks: (i) the impact of COVID-19 on the Lilium Group’s business;

The electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed by Umiles Next equipped with FlyFree technology developed by research partner Tecnalia took to the skies successfully over Jaén on Oct this was the first free flight completed by the aircraft in Spain a European demonstration project intended to safely integrate mixed operations The test flights took place at the ATLAS Test Flight Centre in Villacarrillo which undertakes testing of unmanned aviation technologies and systems and light and tactical remotely piloted systems These flights allow Umiles Next and Tecnalia to run further tests on their eVTOL prototype paving the way for the future integration of the air taxi into urban airspace.This is a significant milestone towards the integration of these aircraft into urban airspace as defined by the European USPACE4UAM project which seeks to test and demonstrate effective management of urban air traffic featuring unmanned aircraft The Concept Integrity was flanked at the testing event by other unmanned aircraft at different layers with a view to proving that this new traffic type can be safely and seamlessly integrated into urban areas in the near future The companies participating in the USPACE4UAM project include Honeywell The mobility of the future will be smarter and more sustainable than ever before New systems and developments will deliver alternative transport solutions in increasingly busy cities Umiles Next and Tecnalia are working tirelessly to deliver urban air and ground mobility solutions which are set to become real transport options by 2028 This was the first time the Concept Integrity prototype has flown in open air space in Spain and the aircraft’s second free flight after it took successfully to the skies of Toulouse back in September as part of an initiative by the TindAIR consortium which rolls out large-scale urban air mobility test flights to test and demonstrate effective management of air traffic using unmanned aircraft in urban settings The air taxi’s next stop for further testing is Lugo This press release was prepared and distributed by Umiles and website in this browser for the next time I

below to send an email to our team and we will get to it as soon as possible Have a story idea you would like to suggest The Costa del Sol is already on the starting block for the new air mobility race the state body in Spain that manages airspace have made Malaga Airport one of the pioneering airports in the development of the new vertical take-off and landing aircraft (Vtol) Although European regulations will initially require these aircraft to be manned in the longer term it is expected that routes will be operated by autonomous drones The timetable is as follows: validation flights of the specific procedures for air taxis will be carried out around October or November next year These will be done initially with conventional helicopters and not yet in the drone aircraft that are currently being built The route will be between Malaga and Granada and the date chosen is due to the fall in the amount of air traffic that usually occurs at that time which will allow the tests to be carried out with less risk one of the engineers in charge of the drone business development department at Enaire said: "The aim is to establish flight procedures for commercial aircraft" we are going to establish vertiports (the space for vertical landing and take-off) that will initially be "virtual" marked areas within the runways where the Vtol (which is the technical name given to these new vehicles) carry out their operations there is already an area established on runway 13/31 at Malaga Airport the aim is to define the flight procedures connecting the Malaga and Granada airports which is the drone manufacturer with which Enaire is collaborating flights with the Lilium aircraft will be on the cards by the end of 2026 the first aerotaxis could arrive in Malaga the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) does not allow the certification of unmanned passenger aircraft And this will be the case for at least the next five years Malaga Airport is participating in the two leading European projects that will make this type of operation possible: Ensure and OperA The idea is to define the vertiports and flight procedures to make aerotaxis a reality The Granada-Jaén aerodrome is also participating in this initiative "The moment it is possible to fly without a pilot it will be extrapolated it will not start from scratch," added Marc Olmo Malaga is therefore in a pioneering position "It is one of the first airports we are working with and we find it very interesting because it is one of the sites with the most traffic Added to this is the high technical level of experience and the involvement of the professionals in its control tower." Tests are being carried out in other places but this is where Enaire has opted to carry out the most important tests" "Malaga stands out for being the testing ground of Enaire which is the manager of Spanish airspace," said the aeronautical engineer who is an expert in this industry "It is a pioneer because here the projects are led by the airspace manager connected to the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) which provides the peace of mind that they know what they are doing and that they are taking safe steps at a regulatory level." But it turns out that the region also plays an important role as a base for test flights and certification both in Villacarrillo (Jaén) and at the Sebastián Almagro aerodrome in Palma del Río (Cordoba) "Andalucía holds an important position in the world of passenger drones."

Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM) has submitted proposals to the European Union’s aviation regulatory agency for how its electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft will comply with type certification requirements.  Lilium’s announcement Tuesday represents a significant step forward toward achieving type certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for a ducted-fan seven-seat production eVTOL by the company’s expected 2025 timeline Lilium has submitted a full set of means of compliance proposals—a required part of EASA’s certification program under which a manufacturer demonstrates that its new aircraft conforms with airworthiness standards outlined by EASA.  The company announced earlier this month it had begun the next phase of flight testing at ATLAS Flight Center in Villacarrillo Tests of Lilium’s Phoenix 2 demonstrator at the Spanish site began with hover flights and is expected to expand into a full campaign aimed at extending the flight envelope through full transition from vertical to horizontal flight and high-speed operations.  Lilium completed the first step of EASA’s certification process winning an EASA certification basis (CRI-A01).  The second step includes defining and agreeing on how Lilium will demonstrate that its eVTOL fully complies with each certification requirement An important part of that second step includes submitting means of compliance proposals to EASA.  The third and final step requires Lilium to actually demonstrate it has fully complied with EASA’s type certification program.  Lilium, which announced partnerships in March with U.S.-based NetJets and FlightSafetyInternational has said it is pursuing type certification concurrently with EASA’s U.S Lilium plans to add a second demonstrator—Phoenix 3—to its test fleet which is expected to accelerate the company’s flight test campaign and allow engineers to learn more about the aircraft.  The eVTOL’s propulsion system uses 30 battery-powered ducted fans embedded across the aircraft’s wings and forward canards The eVTOL is designed with an expected range between 40 to 200 km (22 and 108 nm) and speeds as fast as 300 km/h (162 knots) Ever since SUR started reporting on the leading role Malaga Airport and its control tower are playing in the development of future Vtol (vertical take-off and landing) drones for commercial passenger transport in Spain a question has hung in the air: How much is this going to cost which is working with air traffic control company Enaire and local businesses to bring this new technology to the Costa del Sol estimates an approximate cost of two euros per passenger per kilometre of flight Given the distance from the city's airport to Marbella is about 50 kilometres (according to Google Maps) it will be the operators who run the routes who will finally determine their operating costs and profits the helicopter company that connects Malaga has a pre-agreement with Lilium to develop Vtol connections in Andalucía and has shown its interest in initially buying five of these aircraft for trips in the region "The Lilium aircraft will achieve an industry-leading cost our vision is to democratise electric aviation," a company spokesperson told SUR with a planned capacity for six passengers We started production of our aircraft at the end of last year in our Munich facility and the second fuselage is being prepared for final assembly the aeronautics firm is conducting flight tests with two technology demonstrators in Villacarrillo (Jaén) "but our focus now is on achieving the first piloted flight by the end of the year" But the timeline is ambitious: "We are planning to deliver our first aircraft to customers in 2026 The biggest advantage of this new form of mobility will be the substantial reduction in journey times and with many guarantees of punctuality and reliability which will be subject to commercial aviation safety standards reaches a cruising speed of up to 250 kilometres per hour with a maximum range of 250 kilometres (operating range of 175 km) the journey between Malaga Airport and Marbella will take just 15-20 minutes; and about 35-40 minutes to Granada like the rest of the models that manufacturers are designing around the world will be fully electric aircraft and will always take off and land vertically (that is precisely what Vtol means which is the technical name for these aircraft) so they will be accessible in large cities They will have the same safety standards as commercial aviation although their seating capacity will be limited to between five and ten seats Although the existing heliports can be used the idea is to build landing strips in strategic areas the Port of Malaga (due to its proximity to the city centre and to other important resources) and at a strategic point in Marbella Registration has been successfully completed Make a new account if you don't have one yet Puedes ver la versión Española

BeSoccer.com In a decision central to success for its electric vertical takeoff and landing air taxi, Germany-based Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM) has selected Astronics to design and manufacture the electrical power distribution system for the Lilium Jet.  Astronics takes on this important task after building an impressive list of customers and their collaborative approach makes them a perfect match for us,” said Lilium senior vice president of procurement Martin Schuebel in a statement “The partnership will also help pave the way for the coming industrial ramp-up.” The announcement also comes as Lilium’s fifth-generation demonstrator continues its flight test campaign at ATLAS Flight Center in Villacarrillo managing electricity is critical to any battery-powered electric aircraft While most other eVTOL prototypes that are currently undergoing flight testing are propelled vertically and horizontally by tilt-rotor systems Lilium’s design uses an array of 30 ducted fans embedded across the aircraft’s wings and forward canards which is defined as total aircraft weight divided by the aggregate area of its lift rotors Lilium aims to mitigate high disc load with power-efficient cruise and by managing precious electric battery power The Lilium Jet is designed to carry a pilot and six passengers with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 3,175 kg (7,000 pounds) It’s expected to have a range between 40 and 200 km (22 and 108 nm) at speeds up to 300 km/h (162 knots) Astronics will be handling the Lilium Jet’s two secondary power distribution units (SPDUs) and its single charging power distribution unit (CPDU) SPDUs will convert high voltage to low voltage and distribute low voltage from the aircraft’s batteries to critical systems including flight controls and provide additional sources for converting from high to low voltage as well as low voltage distribution Lilium is expected to add an additional demonstrator—Phoenix 3—to its flight test fleet The company has said it is on track for EASA type certification in time to enter service sometime in 2025 U.S.-based Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) and Japan-based Denso have formally launched a partnership to develop a motor for Lilium’s (NASDAQ: LILM) electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi, currently undergoing flight testing in Spain. The partnership, revealed Monday at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE 2022) in Geneva, Switzerland, comes three months after Lilium revealed it would reduce the number of ducted fan propulsors in its Lilium Jet eVTOL from 36 to 30.  The Honeywell-Denso electric motor design includes a rotor and stator weighing approximately 4 kg with an output of 100 kW, the companies said in a statement Monday. “The rotor and stator are uniquely designed to meet the small size and low weight necessary to achieve Lilium’s performance goals.” Unlike several competitors with tilt-rotor designs, Lilium’s propulsion system uses a series of ducted fans embedded across the aircraft’s wings and forward canards. In a post last week on Instagram, the German-based company said it has filed 37 new patent applications published by the European Patent Office for inventions spanning energy, propulsion, structures, interior, avionics, and custom electric systems. A post shared by Lilium (@liliumaviation) Lilium began uncrewed flight testing of its fifth-generation demonstrator Phoenix 2 at the ATLAS Flight Center in Villacarrillo Lilium is among hundreds of eVTOL startups aiming to create zero-emission passenger aircraft for short urban or regional flights.  which boasts a long history of developing and manufacturing automobile components says the partnership aligns with its goals to focus on broader goals surrounding sustainability and the reduction of carbon emissions.  All three companies have been working for nearly two years on developing the new motor It’s the first product developed by Honeywell and Denso since they formalized their alliance and “it marks Denso’s entry into the aerospace market.” Honeywell is a key investor in Lilium and is also developing Lilium Jet’s flight control systems and avionics.  Lilium Jet’s seven-seat production design includes an expected range between 40 and 200 km (22 and 108 nm) and expected maximum speeds up to 300 km/h (162 knots) The company struck a provisional deal last year with Brazilian airline Azul to buy $1 billion in Lilium aircraft. Other partnerships include agreements with FlightSafety International and NetJets.  Lilium expects to achieve EASA type certification for the Lilium Jet sometime in 2025 a 16-year-old footballer who died in a road traffic accident in Alhaurín el Grande in Malaga province's Guadalhorce valley on Saturday has caused deep sorrow in the local community A tribute was paid to the youngster on Sunday when his shirt (22) was displayed during an emotional minute of silence before the CD Alhaurino-Villacarrillo match in the Primera Andaluza league The match could not be postponed as a mark of respect to the player as there was not enough time to inform the Andalusian football federation authorities before the game involved a collision between a motorbike and a car although the only casualty was the young footballer the attacking midfielder had played for Marbella Paraíso for the last three seasons Desde el Málaga CF enviamos nuestro más sentido pésame a los familiares y amigos de Rubén.Nuestros pensamientos están también con el @CD_Alhaurino en estos terribles momentos.DEP 🕊️ https://t.co/raix8FZD7d Rubén Bravo's younger brother also plays football at the municipal sports school scheduled to take place at the Miguel Fijones Stadium on Sunday El CD Alhaurino issued a statement mourning the loss of their player "The club regrets to announce the death of Rubén Bravo Plaza the player of our youth team who lost his life in a road traffic accident We would like to send our deepest condolences to all his family as well as our strength and support in these difficult moments."
