Again, are you saying the silly press release was written by the design engineers? Here's the performance statement from the engineers: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://lilium-aviation.com/about.html Lilium Aviation about the vision What if the way you thought about distances radically changed? Imagine, you could have breakfast in Munich, go shopping in Milano and enjoy dinner in Marseille. Imagine being able to bypass lines, jams, cancellations, and distances easily and fast. Imagine environmental pollution no longer being a concern because all transportation is electric. Imagine being safer than you’ve ever been in a vehicle. Imagine the freedom, the elegance, and the fun. In the future there will be a completely new way of commuting. People will move to rural areas while working in big cities, because long distances can be covered in a fraction of the traditional time. The aggressive rise of rent in city centers will be halted. Federal states will become metropolises. Concrete-covered landscapes will become green again; the costly maintenance of our current infrastructure will become obsolete. Commuters will use VTOL aircrafts to land directly on landing pads extending from their balconies, on rooftops and assigned landing areas. No need to wait for the bus, no need to conform with plane and train schedules. Go wherever you want, whenever you want - take the Lilium Jet! We are building it. about the product Take-off and landing: Vertically Number of passengers: 2 Number of electric fan engines: 36 Max. take-off weight: 600 kg Payload: 200 kg Estimated cruising velocity: 250 - 300 km/h / 160 - 190 mph Estimated range: 300 km / 190 mi Power: 320 kW / 435 hp About the team Founded in February 2015 by four visionary aerospace engineers and product designers from the Technical University of Munich, Lilium is now a thriving start up driven by the passion to revolutionize personal transportation. Financially secure thanks to reputable investors and supported by the European Space Agency (ESA), Lilium has flourished into a team of more than 35 world-class engineers, designers and pioneers.
