STanDarDS & COmmITTEES Lilium, developer of an all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet, recently achieved " main wing transition " on its technology demonstrator Phoenix 2. The company claims it is the first ever full-size electric jet aircraft to transition from hover to wing-borne flight. Two new standards for sustainability in the skies SAE International's E-40 Electrified Propulsion Committee has released its first two standards documents to enable electrified propulsion for aircraft. ARP8676 - Nomenclature & Definitions for Electrified Propulsion Aircraft establishes common language on a new domain, new technologies, and new architectures that describe electrified propulsion aircraft to reach a common interpretation. AIR8678 - Architecture Examples for 26 October 2022 Electrified Propulsion Aircraft categorizes electrified propulsion architectures and includes relevant examples. This document also provides common definitions for the elements of architectures by defining: * Elements of electrified propulsion architectures, including any private power generation and distribution systems as well as energy storage elements * Interfaces to/from the electrified UPDATE Liliumhttps://www.sae.org/works/committeeHome.do?comtID=TEAE40 https://www.sae.org/standards/content/air8678/ https://www.sae.org/works/committeeHome.do?comtID=TEAE40 https://www.sae.org/standards/content/arp8676/ https://www.sae.org/standards/content/arp8676/ https://www.sae.org/standards/content/air8678/
