Thats very nice to see your progress. I press my thumbs that you bring this project into a success story. I am convinced that the Lilium Jet is the most progressive and interesting technology of all the developments I have seen until now.

I used to fly gliders as early as 10 years old. when I wasn't old enough to learn to fly I used to get to ride as a passenger in the tow plane. Once I had 7 flights in a row, the pilot was a Vietnam Veteran, this was in 1976 in North Carolina. We towed gliders up to 2,000 feet above the ground then to descend the tow pilot would put the tow plane into a stall then we would corkscrew two complete turns loosing 1,500 feet and land in less than 7 minutes from 2,000 feet. On the way down I was screaming in terror as the pilot was laughing. When we landed he asked how was that? That scared the hell out of me, he then asked if I wanted to go again for another flight, I replied YES PLEASE! I was 11 years old. Each time I screamed on the way down. Each time he asked me if I wanted to go again and each time my answer was Yes Please/Sure! I went 7 times in a row. That was the best Roller Coaster I have ever been on. I'm now 58. I hope I get to live long enough to ride in a Lillium Jet before I die, I just hope I don't die on impact. LOL My Brother eventually became an A380 Captain and still lives in Dubai.

Been flying sailplanes for 55 years starting at 12 -- can you imagine this thing pulling G or manouvering anything like that tug ? How 'thrilling' would it be to lethargically wander around doing flat skidding turns while screaming fans howl away (over 3000 horsepower....) and hoping that they keep doing so lest you drop like a stone ? One "test of manhood' at one club was to crawl into the empty hopper space (no outside view) behind the engine and 'experience' a tow and semi aerobatic let down -- I did it but once was enough (Callair tugplane ) the noise and disorientation was memorable.

@@woolymittens You are right only in so much as it is not a turbojet or turbofan we used the abbreviation jet for these because they are a type of jet. A jet comes out of a hose of water and there is a high altitude wind across a narrow fron called a Jetstream. You can call it an EDF "Electric Ducted Fan" which model aircraft enthusiasts use but Lilium want to call it an electric jet which it is because of the air jet. I'll accept the term.

@Kralasaurusx 8 ай бұрын

This is a way smarter design than most of the other experimental prototypes, which tend to forego wings for some strange and arguably ill-conceived reason, whereas having the wings here means lift can do way more of the work of keeping the plane in the air during cruise. Not only that, the fact that the jets also act as flaps to both passively and actively reduce the stall speed (basically to zero) is brilliant. Seems like Lilium is on the right track. I hope to see them succeed at bringing this (and/or some iteratively improved variant) to market.

@itoibo4208 8 ай бұрын

wings have their downsides like having the wind blow the craft all over the place, and having to deal with minimum airspeed. While they do make sense for long flights, for short hops, something closer to a common drone could avoid some of those serious wing issues.
