Battery Webinar

 

On November 2, 2023, Lilium N.V. (“Lilium”) announced that it would host a webinar regarding the battery technology to be used in the Lilium Jet (the “Webinar”), presented by Lilium’s Co-Founder and Chief Engineer for Innovation, Daniel Wiegand. The Webinar occurred on Friday, November 10, 2023.

 

The Webinar presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K. Lilium intends to post the transcript from the Webinar on its website.

 

In order to achieve higher energy and more range to better position the Lilium Jet for regional missions, Lilium intends to manufacture its battery cells using a pre-lithiation process, which adds additional lithium to the cell during production to increase cell capacity.

 

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (“EASA”) released its performance-based available reserve concepts for eVTOL aircraft (“Part IAM reserves”), which in the context of the Lilium Jet prescribes that after touchdown at the end of a flight the aircraft must have an additional 10% of the total trip energy consumed available in reserve. This reserve equates to an estimated approximately additional 45 seconds of hover time for the Lilium Jet. Lilium’s operating range target for the Lilium Jet of 175 kilometers is based upon the Part IAM reserves to ensure compliance.

 

As previously disclosed, an independent laboratory tested the cycle life of the Lilium Jet battery cells. The common test in the battery industry applied to the cells involved a 100% full charge and discharge over one hour each. The results were that the Lilium Jet battery cells retained 88% of their original capacity after 809 full cycles. Lilium then conducted tests using a flight profile in which it continuously fast charged the battery cells and assumed an aircraft flight with maximum take-off mass in mid-range missions and no active cooling of the cells. The result was that the battery cells achieved 1,450 mid-range flights with fast charging and still had 88% of their capacity retained. Lilium believes the difference in the outcome between its tests and those conducted by the independent laboratory was a result of the Lilium tests assuming a flight profile where the aircraft lands with 30% energy remaining in the cell rather than discharging the cell down to 0%. Lilium also believes that this outcome suggests that fast charging should not materially accelerate cycle life degradation in the Lilium Jet battery cells.

 

InoBat Manufacturing Relationship

 

On November 10, 2023, Lilium announced that it is expanding its existing partnership with InoBat, which is expected to provide high-volume production of the Lilium Jet’s high-performance battery cells. InoBat will build Lilium Jet battery cells at its existing Volta I plant and its future Volta II plant, both in Voderady, Slovakia. Production at the Volta I plant is expected to start in early 2024. Developing this second potential source of battery cell manufacturing capacity is an important step to de-risk Lilium’s battery cell supply.

 

The press release regarding the InoBat manufacturing relationship is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report on Form 6-K.

US applicants asking for a performance-based approach: General Aviation Manufacturers Association “GAMA advocates for the adoption of appropriate operating rules based on each aircraft's performance characteristics, highlighting the need to modernize legacy fuel-based energy reserves and reconsider the requirement for dual control variants. ” “…it is suggested to introduce the possibility to have more practical performance-based reserve requirements also considering the type of energy used for propulsion that would guarantee similar safety margins considering the particular concept of intended operations.” “Archer recommends that the FAA consider performance-based requirements for energy reserves, as well as other range and endurance related criteria that align with the capabilities and intended operations of the aircraft.” “BETA recommends the FAA revise the SFAR rules §91.151, §91.167, §135.209, and §135.223 to add an option for use of a performance-based reserve that can be determined based on the capability of the aircraft and the intended flight plan.” “Eve recommends the FAA introduces in the SFAR more practical performance-based energy reserve requirements applied for routes planning definition, considering the type of energy used by the powered-lift aircraft which guarantee equivalent level of safety margins regarding the intended concept of operation applied for each type of aircraft (shorter range, alternate landing sites, energy capacity, performance capabilities). “ “Joby champions performance-based reserve frameworks that bolster mission-specific range and endurance hazard evaluations.” “Revise the existing fuel reserve requirement to a performance-based standard for powered-lift to maintain an equivalent level of safety. “ European applicants asking for a performance-based approach: “Language should be included such as "as determined by the Administrator" that would permit future operators to use performance-based reserve solutions.” “Given the variation of aircraft designs within the powered-lift category, we encourage the FAA to take a performance-based approach, setting fuel requirements based on the performance and the type of operation of the specific aircraft” Sources: Lilium; Part IAM EASA; Federal Register :: Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes P. 23 The aerospace industry is broadly requesting performance-based reserve requirements to the FAA 6 WHAT IS THE RESERVE CONCEPT YOU ARE USING and w hat is the resulting operating range w hich is left using this reserve concept?
