5 years after starting this thread, Photographs and video of the full size interior of the 7 seater Lilium posted on Lilium's Facebook page.

A striking interior, with fabulously large windows and an illuminated ceiling.
Is the canard a significant factor in pilot visibility?
If only it wasn't a mock-up

Interesting to note that things that are missing in the interior:
This is what happens when you let the designers in without the engineers.
- Air Conditioning Vents
- Reading Lights
- Headset jacks
- Escape Path Lighting
- Fire Extinguishers
- Emergency Exits
- Seatbelts

The performance claims are made up.
The time line for entry into service is made up.
The physics are made up

The electricity to power the illuminated ceiling could perhaps be used to power the rotors?
And look at all those screaming little turbine blades just outside the window, at ear level. Lovely.

They also claim to have a cruise altitude of 10,000 ft... in an unpressurised cabin.

Lillium just announced on video in Facebook page, they will launch product with piloted flights in 2024.Former CFO of autonomous car tech Cruise is CFO.
Former CEO of Airbus will be chairman.
They plan to launch on NASDAQ, valued at $3B!
"Lilium’s aircraft will have 30x fewer components than a commercial airliner and is designed for ease of manufacturability and scalability. Lilium applies automotive-style design for manufacturing methods and is designing for fully automated high-quality production of its engines, actuators and batteries"
Has anyone seen a project where all facets of such a disruptive new business, are in place before the product is proven?

Hope they aren't relying on Taiwan for any computer chips, they might not be available when China decides to move in next year.
