Watch as Phoenix 2, our 5th Generation allelectric Technology Demonstrator plane, achieves main wing transition – the first time a fullsize electric jet aircraft has ever made the transition from hover to wingborne flight.

Although a landmark moment for electric aviation, it’s only one small step for Lilium towards achieving our mission to transform regional air mobility. Next steps are to continue the Flight Test campaign and expand the flight envelope further, including transition of the forward canards and highspeed flights. We look forward to sharing more progress soon.
