Full-scale Lilium Jet model to be unveiled at EBACE
Lilium is making the inaugural public debut of its full-scale Lilium Jet model in Geneva at the end of May, and will participate in discussions on the Innovation Stage.
EBACE2024 will host the first public premiere of the full-scale Lilium Jet model.

Lilium will present the full-scale Lilium Jet model for the first time at EBACE 2024 in Geneva.

The Lilium Jet is designed to offer leading capacity, low noise and high performance with zero operating emissions. With its pioneering architecture leveraging the advantages of Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT), it will bring remarkable efficiency and accessibility to regional aviation. Lilium started production in 2023.

The full-scale model will be on display at the Lilium Stand adjacent to the hall main entrance (Stand A39, Exhibit Hall 4-6), as part of the company's largest presence at EBACE to date and as one of the largest exhibitors at the show.

CCO Sebastien Borel says: "We are delighted to return to EBACE this year; a year that represents a major milestone for Lilium as we gear up for the first piloted flight of the Lilium Jet targeted for the end of the year. Consequently, it is fitting that we are returning to EBACE in a very big way, with our largest presence at the show to date as we make the inaugural public debut of the full-scale Lilium Jet model."

During the EBACE 2024 programme, Lilium will be participating in panel discussions on the Innovation Stage adjacent to the Lilium Stand. These sessions include head of flight operations and crew training Andreas Pfisterer, who will discuss the intersection of human ingenuity and the design process of aircraft design in 'Future of Flight -The Balance Between Technology and the Human Touch', scheduled for 13:00-14:00 on the Tuesday.

Borel will discuss the integration of sustainable aviation with other modes of transportation in 'Going the Extra Mile - Will Intermodal Transportation Expand Business Aviation?' scheduled for 11:30-12:30 on the Thursday.
