It uses Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT) technology, which allows the aircraft to take off vertically and then accelerate horizontally, resembling the takeoff of a tiltrotor aircraft. The Lilium Jet will be able to carry five people (four passengers and a pilot) over distances of up to 175 kilometers (about 108.74

However, it also draws on modern aviation developments that are found in planes, helicopters, or vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Throughout 2024, Hybrid Air Vehicles has announced significant progress toward the full-scale production and market-entry of Airlander 10 by the end of the decade.

Put in simpler terms: The thrust needed for a plane to fly is dependent on the planes overall mass during the acceleration phase, its speed, the air density, which differs with the altitude and several other factors. Promise: No more physics formulas in this text from now on.)

Since the 1940s, Dryden has been a hub for cutting-edge flight testing, contributing significantly to the development of modern aviation technologies. The aircraft also participated in studies involving low-altitude flight with asymmetric engine thrust. The NACA Test Force at the High-Speed Flight Station in Edwards, California.
