Lilium Engages Aernnova to Design and Build the Lilium Jet’s Propulsion Mounting System - Aernnova Web

Lilium se asocia con Aernnova para desarrollar conjuntamente el Diseño y la Fabricación del Sistema de Sujeción de la Propulsión del Lilium Jet - Aernnova | Web Corporativa


Nota de prensa

https://www.aernnova.com/es/lilium-se-asocia-con-aernnova-para-desarrollar-conjuntamente-el-diseno-y-la-fabricacion-del-sistema-de-sujecion-de-la-propulsion-del-lilium-jet/ 


Munich / Vitoria, 25 de mayo de 2022: Lilium N.V. (NASDAQ: LILM) («Lilium»), compañía que desarrolla el avión de despegue y aterrizaje vertical (eVTOL) totalmente eléctrico, ha seleccionado a Aernnova para el diseño y fabricación del sistema de sujeción de la propulsión del Lilium Jet.



Se trata del sistema de sujeción del motor o «flap», estructura de la parte trasera de las alas y canard, uno de los componentes clave del Lilium Jet que proporciona sustentación al interactuar con el flujo de aire del motor. También alberga los sistemas de propulsión vectorial, responsables del vuelo vertical y horizontal.



Los motores eléctricos integrados en los flaps de las alas proporcionan ventajas en cuanto a carga útil, eficiencia aerodinámica y reducción del nivel de ruido del motor, al tiempo que proporcionan un control del empuje vectorial para maniobrar el Lilium Jet en cada fase del vuelo.



Lilium y Aernnova colaborarán en el diseño, la fabricación y el suministro de los flaps del Lilium Jet.



Aernnova es un suministrador de primer nivel de estructuras aeronáuticas para los principales OEMs tales como Airbus, Boeing y Embraer. Este acuerdo constituye un paso importante hacia la producción en serie del Lilium Jet, siendo el objetivo de Lilium hacer realidad el transporte aéreo regional sostenible de alta velocidad.



El sistema de propulsión del Lilium Jet tendrá un diseño complejo y único. Un sistema integrado, con múltiples funciones, modular y expansible. Utilizará materiales ligeros como la resina epoxi reforzada con fibra de carbono.



Yves Yemsi, COO de Lilium, ha comentado: «Aernnova es una empresa líder en el diseño y fabricación de estructuras metálicas y de material compuesto en el sector aeroespacial, lo que le convierte en el socio perfecto. Para nosotros es importante colaborar con los mejores proveedores aeroespaciales y aprovechar su experiencia».



Ricardo Chocarro, CEO de Aernnova, ha manifestado: «Con más de 28 años de experiencia en el desarrollo y fabricación de estructuras de aeronaves, estamos orgullosos de formar parte de este proyecto tan emocionante y único como el de Lilium Jet. Este avión totalmente eléctrico tiene la oportunidad de cambiar la industria de la aviación de forma positiva y sostenible. Es un orgullo para nosotros convertirnos en socio clave de este proyecto.»



Acerca de Lilium   

Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM), está desarrollando una forma sostenible y accesible de transporte regional de alta velocidad para personas y mercancías. Con el Lilium Jet, un avión de despegue y aterrizaje vertical totalmente eléctrico, con altas capacidades, bajo nivel de ruido y alto rendimiento con cero emisiones operativas, Lilium está acelerando la descarbonización del transporte aéreo. De la mano de importantes socios aeroespaciales, tecnológicos y de servicios de infraestructura, y con redes de lanzamiento planificadas anunciadas en Alemania, Estados Unidos y Brasil, el equipo de más de 750 personas de Lilium incluye aproximadamente 450 ingenieros aeronáuticos y un equipo de liderazgo responsable de entregar algunos de los aviones de éxito en la historia de la aviación.

Los más fieles seguidores del recordaran cuando hablamos de aquellos autogiros ELA para la Policía Nacional. Hoy hacemos un cross over con Niebla de Guerra para descubrir que el autogiro, como el DC3, voló prácticamente con todos los países participantes del conflicto. ¿Nos acompañas?

En el audio mencionamos varias entradas del blog, así que si queréis ampliar información las podéis encontrar aquí:

El podcast se puede enontrar en Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Ivoox, Spotify

pd: Si la intro y la despedida os son familiares, que no os sorprenda. En un ejercicio de nostalgia podcasteril he hablado con Javier Lago para pedirle permiso y utlizar la introducción que hizo para el que, si no recuerdo mal, fue el primer podcast español sobre aviación: Remove Before Flight RBF podcast.

Press release

https://media.txtav.com/214632-textron-aviation-increases-its-service-footprint-in-spain-adds-mobile-service-location-in-madrid 

Capitalizing on its continued growth in Europe, Textron Aviation has opened a new mobile service location in Madrid, Spain. The Madrid-Barajas Airport location will act as an extension of its factory service center in Valencia, to initially support in-region customers who own Cessna Citation jets and Caravan turboprops. This new location will offer additional flexibility to customers and complement the company's Aircraft on Ground (AOG) response.

 


The mobile service location can conduct minor service tasks including troubleshooting and AOG support at any given time. With this expansion, Textron Aviation is increasing its team support in Madrid with the addition of two technicians and one office administrator. The company has more than 450 Textron Aviation employees in Europe providing customers local access to factory-direct expertise.

 


Textron Aviation leads the European market with nearly 1,800 jet and turboprop aircraft operating in the region. Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, expanded its footprint in Germany last fall at its Stuttgart facility, now a satellite service center.
