Lilium Jet Air Taxi
Farther along than many VTOL concepts, the Lilium Jet Air Taxi should begin service even sooner than its announced start date of 2025. Initially planned as a private aircraft, the electric aircraft will now be used for an Uber-like air taxi service. It uses 36 individual electric ducted fans for propulsion, with the wings and fuselage providing most of the lift during flight, resulting in a range of 186 miles at 186 mph. Its design was conceived by a former automotive designer, and the company is already scouting cities interested in being among the first to host the service.
