Lilium Reports Hover-to-Cruise Airflow Transition Breakthrough in eVTOL Test Flights
The transition was achieved with the company's Phoenix 2 eVTOL technology demonstrator during test flights in Spain.
Airflow from the Lilium eVTOL aircraft's 30 ducted fans gets redirected by its flaps to allow the wings to generate the lift needed for efficient horizontal cruise flight. (Image: Lilium)
