The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued Lilium with the G-1 Certification Basis, a critical milestone in the certification process in the USA. This lays out the basis for type certification where the aircraft design and components are approved. Lilium intend to achieve type certification under the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and then receive co-validation in the US under the EASA/FAA treaty, thereby giving it dual certification. Progress continues to be made under the EASA certification and the company has reiterated they remain on track for 2025 certification.
