Not a lot of new here... a video of a Lillim Presentation made in May by Daniel Wiegand at WORLD.MINDS MOBILITY 2018
Has an apparently unedited video of the 90 second test flight of full scale prototype from 2017.
(curious that they didn't use one of the edited videos that had higher production value and the air to air shot from a drone)

Hopes/claims/design
JFK to Manhattan, same price as a taxi.
60-70% stripped away from the complexity of previous designs.
300 kilometer range in cruise at 300kph
Same energy consumption per kilometre as a electric car but 5x faster
Any component can fail as there is redundancy to every part.
Plus parachute.
ect
