The representative of the American startup Lilium during the demonstration of a prototype of a five-seater autonomous flying taxi developed and produced by this German manufacturer, said that this device was driven by 36 electric motors and had already passed the first tests. It took off on its own, was in the air for a while and then landed successfully. One charge is calculated for one hour of flight. During this time, aerotaxi can overcome 300 kilometers. According to the BBC, the executive director of Lilium, Daniel Wiegand, said that their development is the first in the world, since such devices, previously tested by several companies, do not take on board more than 2 people. It is reported that after passing the new flight tests aerotaxi can be launched into mass production in the mid-twenties.
