The company Lilium, developer of the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) jet, announced last May 31, 2022 that its technology demonstrator Phoenix 2 has achieved main wing transition. This means it is the first ever full-size electric jet aircraft to transition from hover to wing-borne flight. This is a landmark moment for Lilium and for electric aviation as a whole. Lilium was founded in 2015 in Germany, with planned launch networks announced in the United States and Brazil.
