Dominique Decard, V-P of Fleet Operations, Support, and Services at Lilium, said, "Flight data monitoring at a fleetwide level is a key component of our aftermarket services offering for operators. Collaborating with GE today will allow us to deploy the technology to support our flight test campaign."

Andrew Coleman, General Manager of GE Aerospace's Software as a Service (SaaS) Group, said, "Aviation regulators in Europe and the US are rightly setting the highest bar for eVTOLs to meet in safety standards and regulations. Together with Lilium, we're bringing together OEM-level flight data monitoring and quality assurance capabilities of [GE's] EMS (Event Management System] with Lilium's eVTOL jet-related analytics platform to establish a robust safety foundation for eVTOL industry that will help to accelerate commercial-scale adoption of this exciting new technology."
