Lilium N.V. (NASDAQ: LILM), developer of the first all-electric
vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) jet, and Saint-Gobain
Aerospace today announced a supplier partnership for the
development, series production, and customer support of the Lilium
Jet’s transparencies (windows and windshields). The agreement
between Lilium and Saint-Gobain Aerospace, which follows extensive
collaboration, will leverage advanced solutions to meet the highest
aircraft safety requirements and deliver an unparalleled experience
for the Lilium Jet’s passengers.
Windows are a key component of the Lilium Jet’s fuselage,
playing an integral role in providing a pleasant in-flight
experience, as well as supporting aircraft safety and performance.
With several decades of experience in the aviation market,
Saint-Gobain Aerospace is a tier-one supplier of cockpit and cabin
windows for all major commercial aircraft and helicopter
manufacturers, and this partnership continues Lilium’s strategy of
working with established aerospace suppliers to support
certification and scaled production.
The Lilium Jet’s windows, custom-designed by Saint-Gobain, will
have a lightweight construction and improved visibility enhancement
such as limiting icing and fogging phenomenon, all of which will
contribute to the aircraft’s performance and operational goals and
reduce energy consumption. The windows will provide best-in-class
product reliability and an extended operating lifetime, while also
delivering outstanding cabin comfort through excellent visibility,
acoustic insulation, and temperature and light control.
Additionally, the Lilium Jet’s cockpit windshields will be designed
to meet regulatory requirements, providing optimal pilot visibility
and bird strike resistance for pilot protection.
With a commitment to innovation, Saint-Gobain Aerospace will
work to continuously improve the performance of the windows
throughout the partnership as well as bring new capabilities and
solutions that enhance the mission of Lilium Jets.
Martin Schuebel, Lilium’s Senior Vice President
Procurement said: “Drawing on decades of expertise in the
aviation industry, Saint-Gobain Aerospace will bring best-in-class
window innovation to the Lilium Jet. Our partnership is yet another
step towards delivering unparalleled passengers experience while
meeting the stringent safety and performance requirements of the
aviation industry.”
Sylvain Mourlhon, Saint-Gobain Aerospace Sales Director
said: “The eVTOL market is a promising and strategic
market. Saint-Gobain Aerospace is determined to bring innovative
solutions to support a safer and greener aviation industry. We're
excited to partner with Lilium and bring solutions that will shape
the future of sustainable air mobility.”
