The future of passenger transport could be aerial and Lilium Aviation demonstrates the capabilities of its prototype electric flying vertical takeoff taxi by conducting the first flight tests.
The transport of people in the cities could be done in the near future by electric and autonomous vehicles. And where the land routes will become less interesting because too crowded, it is through the air that may be the taxis of tomorrow.Several companies are working in the field of vertical take-off electric vehicles (VTOLs) and there is no such thing as the Uber VTC services specialist who is not looking for a new Uber Elevate program.Lilium Aviation and its flying vehicle project are well advanced to encourage hedge funds such as Atomico to invest several tens of millions of euros.As proof of the progress made, Lilium announced that its two-seater Eagle prototype successfully completed its first flight tests, with supporting video, validating technologies that will allow the development of the production equipment that will be equipped Of five places.
The latter will be the VTOL vehicle that will create flying taxi and passenger services in urban centers. Lilium is already shining the example of a trip to New York, between Manhattan and JFK Airport, which will only take 5 minutes with its flying vehicle, for 1 hour by car.
The machine designed by Lilium will in principle have a human pilot backed up by flight control technologies to avoid hazardous maneuvers, will have to travel about 300 kilometers and reach a speed of 300 km / h thanks to its dozens of electric motors and Its tilting flaps to orient the thrust.
These allow vertical take-off and landing, thus requiring no extensive infrastructure. However, it remains to be seen how the legislation concerning this type of flying craft in dense urban areas will be organized.
