Las Vegas-based eVTOL (electronic Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft developer Lilium and Ohio-based aircraft engine developer GE Aerospace recently announced a new safety-focused partnership, bringing together their flight data and analytics platforms to build new data solutions to inform future eVTOL operators. 
According to the press release, “GE’s Event Measurement System platform will be a critical digital component of Lilium’s unique and comprehensive aftermarket offering “POWER-ON” that provides safe, efficient, and customer-centric solutions for operators of the Lilium Jet. All Lilium customers will have access to a range of digital services to support their daily operations with critical insights and actionable data.”

“Aviation regulators in Europe and the US are rightly setting the highest bar for eVTOLs to meet in safety standards and regulations,” said Andrew Coleman, General Manager, GE Aerospace’s Software as a Service (SaaS) Group. “Together with Lilium, a leader in the eVTOL space, we’re bringing together OEM-level flight data monitoring and quality assurance capabilities of EMS 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.” 
“We’re thrilled to partner with GE Aerospace to ensure that Lilium Jet operators have industry-leading comprehensive safety data at their fingertips,” said Dominique Decard, VP Fleet Operations, Support, and Services at Lilium. “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” 
As part of their partnership, GE Aerospace and Lilium will build an OEM-level Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) or Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) program, to monitor eVTOL safety across whole fleets, as well as develop a shared voluntary FDM program option for Lilium’s customers.  

According to the press release, EMS is used by more than 60 airlines globally and more than 500 business jet operators today for FDM / FOQA. Lilium’s Fleet Optimizer, its fleet management solution, will now with integrate with GE’s EMS platform. According to the press release, “With EMS’ exceptional legacy for safety and efficiency, Lilium and GE, through this partnership, will also explore how the combination of the Fleet Optimizer and EMS could maximize efficiency and reliability of the aircraft.”
