Video: There’s no doubt about it. This is some future sh*t – German company Lilium Aviation has built the world’s first 300kph, low noise, electric vertical take-off and landing jet!
Lilium Aviation has completed test flights on the world’s first electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) jet at a private airfield in Bavaria. The two-seater prototype performed a successful vertical takeoff and transition between its hover mode and forward flight mode. Although it wasn’t pushed to its limit — speed and height were restricted by the airspace — CEO Daniel Wiegand said “It was a tense moment.”
