We’ve acquired Lilium’s patent portfolio, which includes ~300 patents. This portfolio covers innovations in eVTOL technology including ducted fans, propeller systems, high-voltage systems, battery management, aircraft design, flight controls, and electric engines. We believe Lilium’s ducted fan technology could unlock future development in both the light-sport and regional air mobility sectors.
The acquisition strengthens our industry leadership in electric aviation innovation, which now includes over 1,000 patents globally, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring the U.S. leads the way in critical eVTOL technology.
