if I knew nothing about Lilium and only saw Julie and never heard her talk I would trust this company. We need more Julies in the world

Why is speed a concern for a shorter-distance air commute? The main issue isn't how fast the eVTOL flies, but rather how quickly passengers can board the air taxi without long waits, similar to the wait times at airports. For short distances, the speed of the air taxi is less relevant.

Happily to contribute with an investment for such a promising company.

If they used a rail launch system they could get to altitude and top speed without using the battery.

Ein schwimmfähiges Fahrwerk wäre interessant - senkrecht startende, elektrische Fluggeräte wären doch im Grunde ideal für den Gästetransfer auf den Malediven, den Philippinen, den griechischen Inseln etc... Dort kommen ja meist nur Kleingruppen an.

25:46 ". . . we are without competition".

When departing regional airports or taking heavy loads in an emergency, will short take - offs be implemented? This would obviously increase the weight of the landing gear, so maybe a dolly of sorts could be implemented for the ground roll. Even better: A dolly that accelerates the jet to the rotation speed. You could even make one that rolls with the aircraft in a crabbed, or feathered orientation to the wind for maximum efficiency when crosswinds are present (almost always)

Don't see any finance or engineering majors in the comments, here! This is most exciting civilian aircraft I've ever seen fly. This particular design is not just beautiful, it dwarfs the competitors, which are little more than overgrown quad - copters. And, the investor pedigree is HUGELY important! No Money = No Play

Has it flown yet?

I invested $20K in this company’s stock in its early days and lost it all. After more than 2 years, I’m still seeing the same videos without any progress on passengers on board. This seems like a scam.

A wonderful test flight...I'm happy to see the idea of a tilting wing actually work

too dangerous.

The aesthetics of this eVTOL alone is enough to convice me that this company is better than the others. Practical and beautiful! why do others feel the need to make their eVTOLs ugly?

German engineering is no joke and those guys have enourmous experience

Who would've thought of an airplane with engines that gimbal, absolutely brilliant, and revolutionary.

This aircraft could be a game changer for islands like the Orkney Islands in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Loganair Westray to Papa Westray is the shortest flight in the world and it’s not economical to build a bridge or even run a ferry ⛴️ between the islands . They operate a small plane 🛩️ but it’s still expensive in terms of fuel costs. Using a Lillium EvTol could cut costs enormously of operating flights between the two islands. This eVTol is faster than a helicopter and more economical . This aircraft can also be a game changer for islands like in the Maldives 🇲🇻. Instead of using a sea plane to get from the airport to a resort passengers can use this eVtol. Even in Africa where certain mines are very difficult to reach by road the Lillium jet can fly workers to a mine area quickly and then fly them back to the city quickly without taking a long aching road trip. Maybe if Amazon gets one for rural shopping orders, delivery people can fly the eVtol to the farm, land by the farm house and deliver the order. I think is a great alternative to helicopters 🚁 because Lillium jet has less running costs and it’s more efficient than a helicopter 🚁 because it can fly like an airplane . I think eVtols have a lot of potential and beneficial to the environment and customers. I wish Lillium nothing but great success for the future and since I live in Middle East I would definitely book a ticket on one of the jets when they come to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

The questions is, MSN2 is ready? Show that it can lift even 2 cm and you can gain confidence with the investors , but maybe is not your objective...

I just heard from the news that the manned flight test, which was held at the end of the year, has been postponed to early 25 years. Why aren't you keeping your promises with shareholders? It is said that the completion of the msn1 aircraft will be completed by the end of June, but there is still no news. The company is losing trust more and more.'

This is crunch time. They desperately require ongoing funding and viable options seem to be diminishing. It's said that Fisker was in a similar situation. before it collapsed.

Step by step towards the goal. I have been following Lilium for over 3 years, and a lot has changed in that time. The next few months will be exciting.

Interviews are all very nice but we are all waiting for flight demonstrations with a full-sized manned craft.

That's amazing!! I've been invested in this company for a year or more, and I can't wait to see people flying them!!!

One question? Is there a bathroom? If not that could be problematic.

Thank you for the translation! I got more out of this than the original. ❤

Increased range will help sales. CATL is offering 500 Wh/kg lipo batteries specifically for aircraft manufacturers. How does their density compare with your own in-house battery manufacture ?

Why on Earth does that thing behind them need its wings supported on jacks? If it is that weak how will it ever cope with the rigours of real world VTOL operations? More generally all we have here is the standard high level design rhetoric. When we cut to the chase we hear “the only thing we need is better batteries”. Duh. Then, “you just have to wait for that, they are coming”. Well, this is the guy who just a year ago was “100% confident” the Lilium jet would be in commercial service by next year. A year later they still don’t have a battery? This is the company that claims to be assembling the prototype that will be certified, in other words the virtually finalised design. In fact, according to Lilium in 2015, the batteries were coming to enable commercial service in 2019. Didn’t happen, still hasn’t. Now the claim is 2026, also won’t happen. They are promoting a totally unjustified optimism in battery performance. The language is extremely misleading, quote: “battery capacity is statistically improving 4.5% per year”. Sure. Maybe. Larger batteries, so what? The parameter that counts for electric flight is not capacity per se but energy per kg of battery pack. That is not improving 4.5% per year. Certainly not in any kind of battery suitable for aviation. More like per decade at this stage. Then: “…and if you just extrapolate that”. Well if we just extrapolated ICE efficiency improvements during the ‘80s until now we would have exceeded what is thermodynamically possible already, but it doesn’t work like that. And it doesn’t work like that for batteries either. So much for rhetoric. How about some hard data. The single most important question is: what is the specific energy of the battery pack right now, that must be designed and ready for installation IF the conforming prototype has genuinely been under construction for over 7 months now? What is that simple number? Lilium’s continuing avoidance of this key fact speaks volumes.

Why is this better than a helicopter??? It has the same speed as a helicopter, same range as a helicopter, same carrying capacity as a helicopter, same need for a qualified pilot as a helicopter. Maybe I'm a moron but I just don't get it.

Go Lilium Go!!! ✌✌

OMG I can not even survive the first 7 minutes of watching so much BS to anyone who has the slightest idea an practical experience with aviation and propulsion and know a bit about Daniel Wiegands who is not an aviation engineer unless you call anyone who quit his studies after a few semester an engineer. I am not saying that person without a degree is unable to do great work in aviation, but I am allergic to plain lies. They call a ducted fan a jet, so my blow dyer is a jet? If their "jet" is so much more efficient, than their "less good" but actually flying competitors, why can't their way superious conecpt demo a flight over 100 km with only a single person on board, not 5 or 7 as promised? If they could show that I would start to respect them but that never happens and this is just getting more absurd every year. Í hope none of the investors they are targeting has a degree in physics or aeronautics, else this is massively fireing backwards.

Maybe 300 range someday?

💪🏻 electrify the skies, @Lilium !! I posted this to X re your comments on eVTOL safety as the safer all electric aviation becomes, the brighter the future 💫💫💫🔥🔥🔥 Keep up the amazing work!

Can the word "jet" include systems without combustion? I absolutely love the Lilium Jet, but the terminology is a bit confusing imo. Isn't more like a ducted fan? Anyway, I can't wait to see these fly on a regular basis!

Contrary to the many objections here that the automatic synchronization into English is worthless: Folks, this is a shining marvelof these new AI-tools, i.e. the voices match the German voices, and the translation seems almost perfect.

I got $10k invested in this company when they first went public. Hope I get a good ROI soon!

Great excuse to get further funding: waiting on better batteries till 2040 - 2050 LOL

Sound not synchronised

Das packt mich richtig, sehr interessant was die Herren da vorantreiben!

one thing i have learned from my investments :D wherever thelen is involved, short the stock!

This interview did not pose any challenging questions - all softball questions, far too uncritical and obvious. For example, no question regarding the very poor share price performance of Lilium in recent years. Why not?

Lilium seems to be a very high ranked gamble. A lot of expensive people have been hired to give the feeling that this cant be a scam, but Physics tell a different Story
