The End of Lilium, the Rise of Archer

[cryptoenthusiast]

️ Electric aircraft startup Lilium may have gone bankrupt last year, but its legacy isn’t gone.

U.S.-based Archer Aviation has acquired all 300 of Lilium’s patents for €18M ($21M). Competing bidders included Joby Aviation and Ambitious Air Mobility Group.

The patents cover eVTOL essentials:

high-voltage systems

flight controls ️

ducted fans

advanced aircraft design

Why it matters: These technologies could boost Archer’s IP portfolio to 1,000+ global patents and accelerate progress in electric flight.
