Lilium vertical take off "jet"

Lilium Aviation
Another people carrying drone.
This simpler than others as it isn't trying to be a car.

Verticle takeoff and land using 36 electric fans.
2018 rollout.
The Lilium Jet, cruise 500km (310mi) max 400kph (248mph), and reach an altitude of 3km (9,900ft). Recharges overnight from a standard household outlet. Max range at 180mph. Autonomous landing.
Sports liscence.
360kw battery, over 400hp.
200kg payload.


I wonder what the endurance is in the hover...
The wing appendage that look like a flap is the array of motors that swivels down to hover.


Price of a Tesla maybe?
