Lilium, maker of the electric-powered Lilium Jet eVTOL aircraft, said it will display a mock-up of its machine during next week’s 54th Paris Air Show at Aéroport de Paris-Le Bourget.

The German aircraft developer said it is excited about appearing at the show and gaining exposure among the event’s more than 2,450 exhibitors. Lilium in May appeared at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exposition (EBACE), where the company unveiled its Lilium Pioneer Edition Jet interior display.

“After the positive response at EBACE, the Lilium team is looking forward to welcoming more visitors from the industry and the general public,” Lilium said in a blog post. “Lucky visitors will be able to see the full-scale 6-passenger interior mock-up getting a glimpse inside the world’s first all-electric jet.”

Having confirmed up to 11 new orders from ASL Group and Air-Dynamic at EBACE in Geneva in May, Lilium said its order list “has grown to potential sales of up to 645 Lilium Jets from multiple customers across Europe, South America, the Middle East, and the United States.”

Lilium will not be alone in bringing attention to the eVTOl category in Paris. Rival Archer Aviation recently announced it would display its Midnight eVTOL aircraft at the show.
