Lilium achieves first systems power-on milestone for its in-production Lilium Jet

Lilium has actually finished the very first systems power-on landmark of its all-electric Lilium Jet.

The effective examination treatment on the very first in-production Lilium Jet, MSN 1, stands for a considerable success on the course to very first trip and qualification.

This examination verifies that the airplane is being constructed in conformity with Lilium’s system layout and the trip systems are operating appropriately.

MSN 1 results from end up being Lilium’s laboratory examination airplane, or ‘ironbird’. It will certainly be a totally practical airplane and vital possession for the qualification program, being utilized to verify security of trip and conformity with airworthiness needs.

The 2nd Lilium Jet, MSN 2, is likewise presently in last setting up and the very first airplane Lilium plans to fly with a pilot aboard in very early 2025.

Manufacturing of MSN 3 body is underway at the distributor. Lilium plans to fly a total amount of 6 examination airplane approximately type-certification and entrance right into solution, targeted for 2026.

Stephen Vellacott, Lilium CTO, claimed: ” Power-on is a crucial high quality gateway in the manufacturing procedure of any kind of business airplane. Both Lilium Jets currently on our last production line, and those ahead, will certainly be adhering airplane, developed to the specs of our layout company, according to recorded procedures and in accordance with well-known aerospace treatments.

” When it pertains to airplane manufacturing, procedure control, repeatability, traceability, and most importantly security is extremely important. Attaining this very first power-on landmark shows that we get on track.”

At power-on, high-voltage (900 Volts) is put on the airplane and transformed to provide the low-voltage electric and avionics systems– consisting of cabin screen, trip controls, interaction, navigating, and security systems.

This landmark represents the traditional power-on approval examination treatment utilized in traditional business airplane production.

In August this year, Lilium successfully completed the first phase of electrical integration testing at the firm’s devoted electric power system laboratory (EPSL), an examination gear that reproduces the Lilium Jet’s complete powertrain, from battery pack to engine, outside the airplane in a regulated examination setting.

Lilium has until now effectively examined numerous core electric capabilities at the EPSL, consisting of high voltage circulation, reduced voltage conversion and circulation, health and wellness coverage, and billing systems.
