🚀 **Project Launch THyGr: Climate-Friendly Air Mobility through Innovative Materials and Processes** 🌍✈️
At Lilium, we're not just envisioning climate-conscious regional air mobility, we're actively constructing it with a ground-breaking battery-electric VTOL. The cornerstone of our jet's economic and eco-friendly production lies in trailblazing materials and processes.
Thermoplastic composite (TPC) hybrid structures herald immense capabilities. We're redefining design by integrating organo-sheets, TPC hollow profiles, and injection-molded functional elements in a seamless design through a fully automated process. Our mantra: reduced weight, slashed costs, lessened assembly efforts, high quality, and striving toward zero-waste production.
In the THyGr project, we're exploring efficient lightweight designs and processes, underpinned by high-performance thermoplastics, recycling-conscious component design, and real-time quality assurance. Leveraging structural and process simulations abetted by AI-powered quality assurance tools, we're closing the digital design loop, mitigating technical risks, and fast-tracking commercial application.
Lilium, playing a pivotal role in the aviation sector, integrates these innovative components into its eVTOL vehicles. ElringKlinger is the prospective tool and demo part manufacturer. ARBURG GmbH + Co KG ensures process-integrated quality assurance. SIMCON International is spearheading the AI-driven quality assurance systems. Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK). Technische Universität Dresden is conducting production studies and validation testing on a functional model and the demonstrator.
We have our sights locked on sustainability, with a commitment to address environmental considerations throughout the development process. From assessing technology's environmental impact (LCA), to exploring innovative applications of recycled materials, we're pushing the envelope.
Together, we're reinventing aviation – efficient, sustainable, and innovative. 🚁✨
