Daniel Wiegand, Co-Founder & Chief Engineer for Innovation and Future Programs
From his own unique perspective, as the leading founder and a director of the Lilium Company, Daniel Wiegand will review the case for eVTOL Regional Aircraft, and the journey Lilium has taken from initial student ideas, to today's substantial company.
He will overview and update on some of the progress made in technology development and demonstration, agreement of certification requirements, evolution of the design, and planning for entry into service of the Lilium series production aircraft.
Daniel Wiegand is the co-founder and first CEO, serving from 2015-2022, of Lilium, developer of the world’s first electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) jet. He came up with the innovative idea while studying for his Master’s in Aerospace Engineering at the Technical University of Munich and set out on his vision to develop a more accessible and sustainable regional air travel solution.
Daniel led the creation of the complex architecture for the high-speed, zero operating emissions, low noise electric aircraft, with Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT) technology at its core.
He continues Lilium’s vision as Chief Engineer for Innovation and Future Programs and as a member of Lilium’s Board of Directors, to take Lilium even closer to reaching the goal of making sustainable and accessible high-speed, low noise regional air mobility a reality.
