Again, are you saying the silly press release was written by the design
engineers?


Here's the performance statement from the engineers:

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.
