Even if it were the world's first VTOL electric "jet" (which is isn't)
you can't make that claim until the plane has actually been built and
flown. (No evidence of that in the links)
As for the 250 MPH speed and 300 mile range claims, given today's
technology I call "bull****". At best, you MIGHT be able to build a
plane that would be sufficiently optimized to give you one of the above,
definitely not both.
Given the GOPesque puffery, the Lilium's marketing is consistent with the
mendacity of Trump. :-)
My take was it was written by someone that does not know much about aviation.
"Lilium has been designed by German engineers Daniel Wiegand, Patrick Nathen,
Sebastian Born and Matthias Meiner."
