Understanding the Implications of Lilium’s Insolvency for the #eVTOL Industry and Investors Lilium’s entry into insolvency is a significant event in the eVTOL landscape. Despite aiming to deliver its first aircraft by 2026 and pursuing EU and U.S. certification, the company faced major setbacks. Why Lilium Stalled: 1. Funding Gaps: Efforts to secure a €50M loan from German Government fell short (even though the Bavarian Government support was in hand), leaving Lilium financially insolvent. 2. Long Certification Timelines: The costly, time-consuming regulatory processes added strain. 3. Competitive Pressure: Players like Joby Aviation, Eve Air Mobility, Vertical Aerospace and Archer attracted funding and government support, putting Lilium at a disadvantage. Investor Impact: • Equity Investors: Risk of total loss as assets are liquidated to repay debts. • Debt Investors: Secured creditors may recover some funds; unsecured are likely to see less. • Acquisition Possibility: Lilium’s tech assets might still offer recovery potential if acquired. eVTOL Sector Implications: • Investor Confidence: This outcome may spark more rigorous vetting of eVTOL startups. • Market Shifts: Fewer players might mean greater opportunities for funded competitors. • Policy Reevaluation: Governments may increase support for promising eVTOL firms to mitigate future risks. Key Takeaway: Lilium’s case underscores the high-stakes nature of funding new tech in capital-intensive industries. For investors, it’s a reminder to closely examine financial health, funding sources, and long-term viability. 💬 What do you think? Is government support the key to unlocking the future of eVTOLs? #Lilium #AviationTech #InnovationChallenges #GermanInvestment #EUTech #eVTOL #ElectricAviation #StartupLessons #Aerospace #VisionVsReality #TechRegulation #FutureOfFlight #AviationFunding

Very insightful post Paul Perera, many thanks. Adding to that, it is clear that successful disruptors in aerospace have also been able to rely on "sympathetic" regulators and access to government contracts. For example in the USA where the FAA, who - in addition to their regulatory mandate - has a brief to support and nurture US-based aerospace industries. This, compounded with the access to capital and to attractive quasi-guaranteed contracts, reduces the barrier to entry and substantially increases the chances for corporate success. #aerospace #startup #aviationtech #innovationchallenges
