With an operating range of 175km using the battery cells that are currently in production, the Lilium Jet aims to offer the widest range within the electric aviation industry. As battery technology improves, we expect to double that range within the next 7 years, allowing us to substantially expand the radius of our everyday lives via sustainable air mobility. Our battery cells are produced by our partner CustomCells in Germany, with InoBat as a second supplier to strengthen our supply chain. Our battery packs meet the safety standards of both the European and the US regulators. By choosing electric batteries as our main energy source and thanks to its ducted electric vectored thrust architecture, the Lilium jet offers the highest overall efficiency and is ideally suited for regional flights that are comfortable and safe. If you want to learn more about our batteries, you can rewatch our battery webinar from the end of last year on the Lilium youtube channel. 👇

10 years ago, I was studying Aerospace Engineering at Technische Universität München and dreaming about a world, in which anyone can fly anywhere anytime without harming the planet. 🌎 In 2015, together with my co-founders Matthias Meiner, Sebastian Born and Dr. Patrick Nathen, we turned this dream into our life’s mission with Lilium. Today, our 1000+ strong team includes approximately 500 aerospace engineers and a leadership team responsible for delivering some of the most successful aircraft in aviation history. If you want to join our mission, reach out to our HR team, or follow me here on LinkedIn for details on Lilium’s history and updates on the future of sustainable regional air mobility. ✈

🔎 Today, Germany's politics, industry and energy sector take a look at thermal energy storage at the status conference of BVES Energy Storage Systems Association in Berlin. Our co-founder Susanne König gave input about solid state materials storages and how they are used in the food, chemical or steel industry. On the conference we talk about chances and hurdles for the core of the energy transition, which is process heat in industries. As German engineers, we think that the groundbreaking innovations we develop, should play a big role in our home market as well. And the political framework accelerated during the last two years. Yet there is still a way to go to really involve the most important technology for decarbonizing heat. This is what is and will be talked about today. The program (in German) is ongoing and you can join via this link https://lnkd.in/eegvFnEY #energystorage #thermalstorage #industries #decarbonization #cleantech #energytransition
