The partnership between Lilium, which hopes to certify its battery-powered Lilium Jet in Europe and the United States by 2025, Tavistock Development Co., and the city of Orlando, Florida, was announced November 11, billed to be the first urban and regional air mobility hub in the United States. The "vertiport" stands to be added to the growing mix of amenities in Lake Nona, a 17-acre planned community located just southeast of Orlando International Airport. The infrastructure upgrade remains subject to FAA approval, as does the aircraft Lilium hopes to dispatch to destinations around the city, and beyond.
