The idea is to launch an app-based, on demand air taxi service in urban areas.
The way we move around our towns and cities is undergoing a radical change.
The aircraft can travel up to 300 kilometers in one hour, according to the company, and completed its maiden flight earlier this month.A German start-up has unveiled a five-seater, all-electric air taxi prototype. In an announcement Thursday, Munich-based Lilium said that its jet-powered air taxi had completed its maiden flight earlier this month.
The aircraft does not have a tail, rudder, propellers or gearbox. In terms of its environmental impact, Lilium said it had "zero operating emissions." The plan is to eventually offer an on-demand air taxi service, with consumers using an app to find their nearest "landing pad" and then book their trip.
