In a move that seemed to come out of left field, Lilium announced it is on the verge of insolvency and has ceased operations.
On October 24, Lilium N.V. submitted a Form 6-K filing to the SEC stating that the managing directors of its two operating subsidiaries, Lilium GmbH and Lilium eAircraft GmbH, determined that they are overindebted and will be unable to pay existing liabilities within the next few days. After a number of delays, Blue Origin’s 27th mission debuted the second human-rated vehicle for the New Shepard program, enabling expanded flight capacity to better meet what they claim to be ‘growing’ customer demand. The new crew capsule is named RSS Kármán Line. The FAA announced a new rule at NBAA-BACE that signals the highly anticipated acceptance and integration of powered lift into the FAA’s domain of aviation. The rule establishes the new category of “powered lift” aircraft which have characteristics of both helicopters and airplanes. Operations in the category include air taxi, cargo delivery, and a variety of additional operations in both urban and rural areas.
