Germany’s Lilium expects in the near future to resume flight tests of its five-seat Lilium Jet demonstrator, even as it works towards the arrival of a larger seven-seat prototype in 2022.
Flight-test activity at the German start-up has been curtailed since early 2020 when an electrical fire destroyed its previous five-seat demonstrator.

Commercial launch will be with seven-seat design
