Startup Liliam Partners with Brazlian Airline Azul To Build Electric Aircraft Network By 2025
German electric jet startup Lilium is partnering with Brazil commercial airliner Azul with goals to create a regional eVTOL network across the country by 2025. Lilium is planning to sell 220 of its aircraft, that can take off and land vertically, to Azul for one-billion dollars. The company plans to introduce a supercharger that fully charges the electric jet in 30 minutes. The operational costs are set to be 4-6 times cheaper than helicopter operation. The aircraft will be equipped with 6 passenger seats, following the typical business jet feel to provide a familiar cabin experience.
