Lilium Jet: flying in your city from 2025

The German Lilium air taxis he said the first ενός πενταθέσιου αεροσκάφους. Ήταν η τελευταία σε μια σειρά από επιτυχημένες δοκιμές για την ανερχόμενη  εταιρεία ηλεκτρικών πτήσεων, η οποία στοχεύει να διαθέσει "ιπτάμενα αυτοκίνητα" που κυκλοφορούν σε πόλεις μέσα στην επόμενη δεκαετία.

In a made available by the Munich-based company, the Lilium aircraft appears to be able to take off vertically like a helicopter, hover and then fly.

It may not seem like a big deal, but it's a very big step for the company, which hopes to create a fully functional taxi that will fly in many cities by 2025.

Compared to the other electric aircraft we have seen so far, the Lilium Jet stands out: The wings are equipped with a total of 36 electric jet engines that tilt upwards for vertical take-off and then move forward for horizontal flight. There is no tail, rudder, propellers or gearbox.

When taking off, the Lilium Jet can deliver speeds of up to 300 km / h (186 mph).

Unlike some competing companies, Lilium plans to have a pilot on board its aircraft. This will facilitate obtaining the certification that the company needs from the European Aviation Safety Agency. Lilium will also seek certification from the Federal Aviation Administration .
