The proprietary technology at the core of the Lilium Jet is Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT) which we have refined through successive generations of aircraft demonstrators. Electric jet engines integrated into the wing flaps provide advantages in payload, aerodynamic efficiency and a lower noise profile, whilst also providing thrust vector control to manoeuvre the Lilium Jet through every phase of flight.

Underlying engine technologies
Traditional jet engines power 95% of commercial aircraft and we have based our design on the same principles, yet far simpler. Our electric jet engines rely on just a single "stage" rotor/stator system driven by an electric motor with zero emissions.
1. Ducted fans
High efficiency due to reduced blade tip losses, removed exit swirl and guided flow.
2. Acoustic Liners
Engine ducts with acoustic liners help capture and dissipate the noise before it propagates into the environment.
3. Electric Motor
Built to aerospace standard, our highly efficient motors are uniquely designed for Liliums flight envelope.
4. Variable nozzles
A variable nozzle ensures peak engine efficiency both in cruise flight and in hover flight.
