WESSLING, Germany—Lilium N.V. has started to install state-of-the-art production equipment to assemble the propulsion units of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft at its factory here. It is located in the same facility as the startup company’s aerostructures assemble line that is building canards and wings.
Schnaithmann Maschinenbau GmbH is bulding the assembly line. The German automation and robotics company is also supplying jigs and tools for the Lilium Jet’s fuselage and final assembly lines.
