Lilium's €1.5B VTOL Collapse Explained — Why It Never Flew

Lilium raised €1.5 billion to build an electric jet. But nearly 10 years later, there's still no aircraft. What went wrong? In this breakdown, you'll learn: • What Lilium set out to build and why it never flew • How flawed physics challenged the design from the start • Why 30 small ducted fans cannot match the efficiency of large rotors • The real limitations of battery-powered VTOLs for commercial use • What Lilium got right and what they should have changed Then we show how Zuri’s hybrid SAF-powered VTOL addresses these core challenges with large, efficient tiltrotors, usable range, and successful flight demonstrations at multiple scales. Key lessons • If your aircraft needs five times more energy to hover, no amount of money will fix it • Batteries are great for cars but aviation demands more energy • Better design beats bigger budgets In This Video 00:00 Intro: Why We're Talking About Lilium 00:10 Lilium Enters German Insolvency (Twice) What Went Wrong 00:21 Lilium’s Vision A €1.5B Ducted Fan Jet That Never Flew 00:49 Hover Milestones and the 7 Seat Pivot 01:09 Why Lilium’s Design Failed Ducted Fans and Battery Limits 01:47 What Lilium Got Right and Missed 02:02 The Fix Tiltrotors and Hybrid SAF Propulsion 02:19 Zuri's Approach Real World Design and No Single Failure Point 02:32 Proven Flight Large Scale Demos on 1 Percent of the Budget 02:44 Key Lessons Physics Beats Money 03:01 Batteries Still Aren’t Ready for Flight 03:16 Wrap Up Zuri’s Approach and Call to Action 📍 Follow Zuri for updates on the future of sustainable regional air mobility 🌐 https://zuri.com #eVTOL #ElectricAviation #HybridVTOL #SustainableFlight #ZuriVTOL #lilium
