Lilium Obtains G-1 Certification Basis on Track for 2026

Seeking Dual EU/US Certification for eVTOL 'Jet'

Lilium happily announced its reception of the necessary G-1 Certification Basis for its Lilium Jet from the FAA, keeping the program on track as it progresses on to full certification by 2026.

Lilium has been seeking concurrent certification of its Jet through a process that will grant certification in the States and European Union. Thanks to the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement, the firm can start off with certification on both sides of the Atlantic, beating more than a few competitors to market with a certified, powered eVTOL aircraft.

“We are the first powered lift eVTOL pioneer in our industry holding a Certification Basis from EASA and the FAA,” said Alastair McIntosh, Lilium Chief Technology Officer. “This is a major step towards our goal of achieving early certification of our aircraft in key markets to support a worldwide entry into service. We are grateful to have found great partners on both sides of the pond to electrify the skies. As per FAA practice, there will now be a collaborative process where Lilium and EASA provide feedback to the FAA before the G-1 is issued for public consultation. We look forward to continued collaboration with the FAA and EASA.“

“Receiving the FAA G-1 demonstrates the Lilium Jet’s path to global acceptance by aerospace regulators and the expected start of global operations in late 2025 for the revolutionary Lilium Jet,” Lilium Chief Executive Officer Klaus Roewe said.
