Good at cruising, bad at take off and landing. It is a compromise. So for longer range business, Lilium is better. For short trip, it is not. I invested in LILM however for this reason. Also ACHR is having support from USA DOD.

All Commercial passenger aircraft have dual-redundant systems for propulsion and vector control. The Lilium appears to have a single-event failure mode in the angular control of each ducted propellor "nacelle set", as well as the rotational velocity of the fans. It does not appear that they can glide to safety in the event of certain failures!!
It's the only VTOL aircraft to use 36 ducted fan engines (a design like no other) minimizing redundancy risks. It's also beautiful to look at. Lilium to the moon!
Eveyrone making financer trap videos keep telling that 400...500 Wh/kg batteries are here next year. The problem is they've been saying this for some years now. I think 2021 the reality is still below 300 Wh/kg ... which means that to replace 1 kg of kerosine requires closer to 20 kg of battery - simply calculated, without auxilliary reductions and without regen. With them ... 15 kg. It is great tech to come but I find most of these vids too optimistic. The battery development at the moment is betting game.
They have to be overly optimistic to get investors. Tesla still has never made a profit. Please fact check that point before you say it’s not true. It is all one giant, taxpayer funded, Ponzi scheme. The energy density is just not there, and is not likely to be. We’re probably approaching maximum battery performance right now, with a few very small gains left to find.
We should consider a hybrid system with a small and efficient engine running at geared speed and maybe less batteries combined with capacitors. For now, until we finally get those lighter and more powerful batteries, that might be the solution.Lilium by far is nicest of the pack.

i'm a bit new to the topic, but isn't this specifically because we're more or less locked by regulations to certain technologies: such as lithium-ion? I've heard rumors that there's other techs out there, but we just can't use them.
@@kohlrak Yes, but that is the problem. We hear only rumors, talks and promises. They talk about tape hydrogen and of various battery material combinations. But the basic battery power is based on travelling electrons where as the fuels are about releasing energy from chemical bindings and there is a huge difference between these. I have become quite sceptical about the batteries. It may well be that 99% of the tech development is already done. The reality today is about 250-270 Wh/kg and about 350 W/kg without cooling and up to short time 1500 W/kg with very heavy cooling bringing the paower density down again. Best electric motors are about 15 000 W/kg - this means that about 95% of the powerline weight is in the batteries. The new E-motors are wonderful but batteries are crap.
Small energy density and weight of batteries will make economical and practical use of these jets marginal. VTOL is very energy intensive. Normal glider like planes have more of a chance to be useful in a commercial application. These "jets" are neat but they compromise on too many aspects of flights efficiency especially in cruise. Range anxiety will be a huge concern for the operators. Forget using these in an urban environment anytime soon. The regulatory requirements will make this unlikely. The manner in which air traffic would have to be regulated would require new regulations. These could be useful to replace some executive helicopter transport across town. After the COVID pandemic, we have found out that in many cases we do not need to be physically present to get work done.
They are very efficient in cruise, especially the Lilium Jet. EVTOLs are happening and there is definitely a market for them. I think you refer to recharge issues, right? That is not totally known yet.
Deberias de pensarlo de otra forma , sin paradigmas. Con lo que yá hay de avances en AI , ya es posible instalar un sistema autónomo de vuelo , y un sistema integral múltiple de control y comunicacion de vuelo. Incluso , interoperable entre las aeronaves en vuelo para que sus sistemas se conuniquen en forma dinamica . Agrégale a eso la AI Gen y un poco de tiempo más para que la AI Gen adquiera experiencia practica .... Yo diria que en 3 a 5 años ya se podria lanzar sin ningun inconveniente , y posiblemente sea una forma de vuelo más segura que la conducida por humanos .
There still does not exist only one aircraft for personal transportation, that does perform full flight security for every passenger. - having an automatic parashoot system - having gliding abilities in case of full enginge failure There is still no aircraft-manufacturer who cares for these existentiel threats. Passengers are still allowed to die. -------------------------------- In this respect Elon Musk still could start a whole new market in the upcoming electronic flight sector and numbering LILIUM out... very easy. Especially - why LILIUM does not care about the threats mentioned above. They only do produce bigger electric drones, as quick as possible... just to be the first...
A perhaps more efficient version of the category Black Fly represents would be the "Flying Flapjack" form. It had nearly vertical takeoff with high speed.
Well first let me thank you for posting this video, I found it to be very informative & instructive, I think that lilium will play a big part in supplying this market & I think the marked is quite large for an E-VTOL jet like this & I wish them luck! Thank you!😎👍🏾👍🏾
With ever growing metropolitan cities ( like the one i'm currently in, Istanbul) the best solution for traffic is taking up to the skies.. Amazing video well detailed, prayers up for your channel's and Lillium's success .
They show operations in the north east; wondering about winter conditions with snow and ice. It looks like the small fan/wind geometries could make it susceptible to icing, and perhaps difficult to protect compared to bigger open props? Will probably be an issue for all eVTOL systems. I guess the good thing is if you know you are getting into trouble, you can land almost anywhere.
I like it but wish they could make a smaller more efficient model for personal use that would meet the class specification of a low weight aircraft; so as to avoid the necessity of a pilot's license.
The stock market has these shares down to $.38. Engineering geeks will tell you there are some major physics problems with this design. The Joby design is much more feasible and they actually have flying prototypes.
What stops electric airplanes taking a charge from clouds? The static electricity that makes lightning could be harnessed right in the air at any point in the flight. Recharge literally on the fly. Not even a pitstop. Could this work on boats as well?
Short answer is: NO Long answer is: Definitely NO. Pilots are told specifically to AVOID flying into storm clouds for the very reasons you're proposing.. If they get hit by lightning, they can be damaged, and systems vital can go off-line.. it's not common, but it can and does happen.. It would make more sense to cover the top sides of an airplane with solar arrays to absorb energy than to try pulling it from clouds..
There are allready many good competitors in this section, I really wish he could push his booring company to make that a thing that becomes better and mor affordable so we can get hyperloops
Would love to see the kitty hawk modified with the ducted fans instead of the open fans they have I wonder if a person could get the company to do that when they make it ?
Thank you! Very well-explained video. As Nova Verse expressed in his comment, "If Lilium succeeds, then the Lilium aircraft will be the foundation design..." I agree. And, we can help make that happen by investing in them (LILM).
This comment section is riddled with fake comments. You guys have an amazing product, do you really need to post fake comments? And for gosh sakes, if you're gonna do it, at least write it so people can't tell.
Looks it is the most clever solution on the market - it will beat ALL competitors ! Only best seats type EO are missing (undersigned could supply them...)
Stop the talking and start the shipping! I'm not getting any younger over here. *lol* Seriously, I'd love to see something like this in maybe a smaller, 4-place aircraft. Incredible!
He could have founded and can still found any company he wants. This video thinks he missed out? LOL Trust me, he may be out there at times but he is smart enough to get into what is more feasible at this time. Flying cars are still many years in the future even from this point, let alone 10 years ago. He also likes to state things to put a bug in peoples ear. People get excited and encouraged. He is an influencer for sure. I just hope he doesn't go off the deep end like most rich smart groundbreaking magnets. HE already has shown sign of that or he is just playing the part.
It wouldn't be hard for his team even if Elon wasn't the first mover. He's got manufacturing capability, he's got technology and he's go money to back him.
Never happening ever Pure vaporware Just ask yourself When I open my Uber app and select the car and destination I hit send The car comes right to my house. How is this process going to work with a flying car Don't forget there's people who live in hoa's who will be very bothered by tons of helicopters landing in and out of my neighborhood. How is this going to work and how is it going to have mass adoption with zero feasibility?
Lilium Jet is far ahead of the competition, although their aircraft will not be the first to hit the scene. Competing Vtol designs like Joby and Archer will be the first out the gate, Joby does have a decent eVtol, but its design was quickly derived with little consideration for scaling up. Its problem is in its design. It uses many rather large rotors to life a rather small payload. It currently supports 4 passengers and 1 pilot. 3 of which are seated comfortably, but the rear two passengers are confined. Unless Archer's Vtol is to support remote piloting, then it only supports 1 passenger and 1 pilot. which doesnt make it viable for commercial shuttle and taxi use as a business. It would find its use as personal ownership and air mobility of the light sports and recreational aircraft category, such as the icon A5. This would also apply to much of the Ehang and Volocopter offerings. Lilium Jet is the leading eVTOL startup/platform its design is completely different than the competition. Eliminating the use of many exposed rotors, providing levels of safety non of the others can match. And its design readly sees to scalablity without much rethinking in terms of engineering. Though they first prototyped from 2 to 4 seater aircraft, they now plan to launch with a 7 seater aircraft. 1 pilot 6 passengers. which from a business aspect makes it perfect for commercial use and revenue gain. Ironically although not of the same category, The lilium Jet see's itself competing in the same grounds as very lite buisness jet class. Of course it niether has the speed nor range of such jets like the new HONDA JET, elite series. Lilium Jet shares the same 6 passenger occupancy as the Honda Jet. 1 additional pilot seat appose to honda jets 2. never the less. regional routes would be of key interest of both. Small regional charter airlines may find themselves mixing their fleet options between those of lilium jet and honda jet and other turbo prop options. And Evtol in ones fleet would see to vast reductions in cost and maintenance.
How did you determine they are far ahead of competition? Because their's looks cooler? A mock-up means nothing. Yes, I am aware of their test flights, but they have not shown any progress in almost two years, AND the test flight they posted has no audio, nor can you determine if the aircraft is even full-sized or just a scaled model. You say unlike the competition, their craft is scalable? They have not shown that either; just animations of scaled-up craft and again their mock-up.
@@LukeFG The seating in the Lillium is largely irrelevant. They can show as many cool looking mockups as they want. Lillium has not flown with a single person. Whoever comes out on top, I think this market is still only going to serve the rich. Anyone who thinks this is going to be for the masses with cheap Uber/Lyft-like jaunts around town is probably mistaken.
@@trekkeruss I agree. I know Joby Aviation has received their certifications first amongst their peers, and they have been operating for over 10 years. They have multiple designs with huge amounts of data collected. Joby is by far the fastest, most efficient, and best positioned for success imo with partnerships with Toyota and Uber
There is more than a whiff of BS here. The “payload increase to the biggest in the market” comes after 6 years of failing to deliver the lesser payloads promised to be certified and in service by 3 years ago. It is easy to make bold claims about where you will be in the future but the fact is none of the test models have done anything more than tiny little flights within the airfield boundary. There has not been a single flight that offers evidence Lilium are anywhere near being able to deliver on their incredible claims for range, speed and useful load. I absolutely guarantee this ‘jet’ will not be certified and carrying 6 passengers in revenue service by 2024.
Lilium is never ever ever gonna work for 3 reasons….. 1. Batteries can’t hold enough energy. 2. Batteries are too heavy. 3. You still need to sue an airport for takeoff and landing. If you don’t understand this you aren’t a pilot.
Question is how much for 1 Lilium eVTOL compared to other lower tech exposed propeller eVTOLs. If the market can afford an eVTOL worth more than $800k or more for their operations.
VW should immediately buy them and try to quickly develop a more affordable version that could be autonomous and replace the family car. They could leapfrog Elon and save the industry.
all these videos about flying cars but why cars? am i the only one that watched Agent Cody Banks back in the day? 2 tilting vertical facing giant dyson fans on either side above you and a single person seat in a pod with clear oled screen built in to the windshield to creat AR mapping in real time
"Lilium will be the leader in long range advanced air mobility" I think not. Slick, well produced video. Many technical flaws. eVTOLs are by their nature inefficient. Long range requires efficiency. The video's final statement is an oxymoron.
@@eVTOLinnovation well it would be nice to have airlines that go to smaller cities without having to have a lay over in a bigger hub. That’s where u guys would come in perfect.
I think they will end up with rotors later because there are too many fat people and rotors can lift more weight. They'll have a turbine electric hybrid version for faster transport I'm betting on later also.
simple, add a passenger weight limit.. because, who wants to be stuck in a carbon fibre tube with 6 fat bastards for a 30 minute flight.. no thank you.. lol
In the current Lilium situation, vertical takeoff and landing electric airplane innovation technology is becoming a thing of the past. Will Elon Musk just watch? Or should I try something?
The rear mounted fans are in groups, so some can be left point down, while some can begin the transition by rotating to forward thrust, the added benefit here is that the fans draw air over the top of the wings at a faster speed, thus increasing lift, (Coanda effect basically) without the requirement of forward momentum to generate it.. pretty tricky, but it's just physics. So, with this lift being generated by drawn air over the wing, the fact that some fans are not pointing (but pushing forward) down is mitigated out, and the vehicle begins to accelerated forwards anyway.. then more groups of fans can be rotated, and away they go.. :) Transitioning back to hover from 250+kph will be a bit more difficult, there's lots of speed and momentum to wash off before the fans can be rotated back to hover.. Yay for drone tech and the tiny and very accurate gyros they use, along with super quick micro processors to do the number crunching.. most aspects of these flights will be automated which is the smart thing to do, but I do see a market for racing these (and other VTOL) craft on the future as this will push and expand the technology in the same way F1 racing has for the road car.
None of Liliums designs have ever flown with a human in it. smaller fans are worse, thermodynamics makes no exceptions if it looks cool. they pump out new prototypes because all the others failed.
Unfortunately, i am not able to keep creating new videos in my current situation.

The reality today is about 250-270 Wh/kg and about 350 W/kg without cooling and up to short time 1500 W/kg with very heavy cooling bringing the paower density down again. Best electric motors are about 15 000 W/kg - this means that about 95% of the powerline weight is in the batteries. The new E-motors are wonderful but batteries are crap.
I have 3800 shares of LILM and 4400 joby .
Small energy density and weight of batteries will make economical and practical use of these jets marginal.
VTOL is very energy intensive. Normal glider like planes have more of a chance to be useful in a commercial application. These "jets" are neat but they compromise on too many aspects of flights efficiency especially in cruise.
Range anxiety will be a huge concern for the operators. Forget using these in an urban environment anytime soon. The regulatory requirements will make this unlikely. The manner in which air traffic would have to be regulated would require new regulations.
These could be useful to replace some executive helicopter transport across town. After the COVID pandemic, we have found out that in many cases we do not need to be physically present to get work done.
They are very efficient in cruise, especially the Lilium Jet. EVTOLs are happening and there is definitely a market for them. I think you refer to recharge issues, right? That is not totally known yet.
Deberias de pensarlo de otra forma , sin paradigmas. Con lo que yá hay de avances en AI , ya es posible instalar un sistema autónomo de vuelo , y un sistema integral múltiple de control y comunicacion de vuelo. Incluso , interoperable entre las aeronaves en vuelo para que sus sistemas se conuniquen en forma dinamica .
Agrégale a eso la AI Gen y un poco de tiempo más para que la AI Gen adquiera experiencia practica .... Yo diria que en 3 a 5 años ya se podria lanzar sin ningun inconveniente , y posiblemente sea una forma de vuelo más segura que la conducida por humanos .
There still does not exist only one aircraft for personal transportation, that does perform full flight security for every passenger.
- having an automatic parashoot system
- having gliding abilities in case of full enginge failure
There is still no aircraft-manufacturer who cares for these existentiel threats. Passengers are still allowed to die.
--------------------------------
In this respect Elon Musk still could start a whole new market in the upcoming electronic flight sector and numbering LILIUM out... very easy.
Especially - why LILIUM does not care about the threats mentioned above. They only do produce bigger electric drones, as quick as possible... just to be the first...
A perhaps more efficient version of the category Black Fly represents would be the "Flying Flapjack" form. It had nearly vertical takeoff with high speed.
I think Musk would be having second thoughts now. This thing has never lifted a 200kg payload. Never Ever.
it will.
Lillium visitor transfer service between tech-museums Sinsheim and Speyer ? FUN !
Well first let me thank you for posting this video, I found it to be very informative & instructive, I think that lilium will play a big part in supplying this market & I think the marked is quite large for an E-VTOL jet like this & I wish them luck! Thank you!😎👍🏾👍🏾
Great video!
My thoughts are the faster this gets certified and accepted the better. And If I had a million $ in spare cash, I 'd put it all down as deposit today!
Ive got over a 1000 shares. Very exciting company
Can we just appreciate the quality of this presentation!
LOVE IT...Will sign up for updates
With ever growing metropolitan cities ( like the one i'm currently in, Istanbul)
the best solution for traffic is taking up to the skies..
Amazing video well detailed, prayers up for your channel's and Lillium's success .
They show operations in the north east; wondering about winter conditions with snow and ice. It looks like the small fan/wind geometries could make it susceptible to icing, and perhaps difficult to protect compared to bigger open props? Will probably be an issue for all eVTOL systems. I guess the good thing is if you know you are getting into trouble, you can land almost anywhere.
I like it but wish they could make a smaller more efficient model for personal use that would meet the class specification of a low weight aircraft; so as to avoid the necessity of a pilot's license.
Well the idea of people wanting to fly but not having enough knowledge or skills to even have a license to fly- leaves me 'worried'
The stock market has these shares down to $.38. Engineering geeks will tell you there are some major physics problems with this design. The Joby design is much more feasible and they actually have flying prototypes.
Price went up again
Those little "jets" will scream compared to the Joby or Kitty Hawk's bigger open rotors.
In theory noise should be less than open propellers. They will drag a lot more power, that’s for sure
In theory, sure. Have you heared an actual ducted fan powered aircraft in person? At least radio controlled model? I have. My ears are still bleeding.
Thanks for mention distances and velocity in International System (AKA km/h and km) :D
To make the Video short here's the Moat: DUCTED Fucking FANS.
What stops electric airplanes taking a charge from clouds? The static electricity that makes lightning could be harnessed right in the air at any point in the flight. Recharge literally on the fly. Not even a pitstop. Could this work on boats as well?
I like your thinking. More research is needed.
You would need something like a supercapacitor designed to handle these high voltages from lightnings.
Short answer is: NO
Long answer is: Definitely NO. Pilots are told specifically to AVOID flying into storm clouds for the very reasons you're proposing.. If they get hit by lightning, they can be damaged, and systems vital can go off-line.. it's not common, but it can and does happen..
It would make more sense to cover the top sides of an airplane with solar arrays to absorb energy than to try pulling it from clouds..
Excellent presentation. Lilium is obviously so far ahead of the rest of the 3D Transportation industry.
There are allready many good competitors in this section, I really wish he could push his booring company to make that a thing that becomes better and mor affordable so we can get hyperloops
Would love to see the kitty hawk modified with the ducted fans instead of the open fans they have I wonder if a person could get the company to do that when they make it ?
Rotate the IMPELLERS at a rate that produces inverse sine waves and they’ll cancel out all but the whooshing noise of the moving air.
Thank you! Very well-explained video. As Nova Verse expressed in his comment, "If Lilium succeeds, then the Lilium aircraft will be the foundation design..." I agree. And, we can help make that happen by investing in them (LILM).
This comment section is riddled with fake comments. You guys have an amazing product, do you really need to post fake comments? And for gosh sakes, if you're gonna do it, at least write it so people can't tell.
I'm adding to my stock position
I believe in Lilium more than any other evtol company
Do you also believe in God?
What do you think about the Lilium Jet? 👇
Lilium has to show their 7 seater flying first..
Lilium is better than other evtols. Lilium will dominate the UAM market.
@david cummings Yes, this Market will be huge and Palantir knows it. They literally do that with their software. They have some airlines as customers
@@eVTOLinnovation I think is almost as good as Cargolifter.
Dispatch with a motor out? Quick Change battery system? Ballistic parachute? Cooling?
Looks it is the most clever solution on the market - it will beat ALL competitors ! Only best seats type EO are missing (undersigned could supply them...)
@ scalability, you just re-covered everything discussed prior to that. But it was a great overall review of the capabilities and performance.
Have you considered a hybrid power source?
186 mph would be impressive for a paper airplane for a jet it's beyond disappoinment.
As I am sure others have pointed out, Musk wasn't a Tesla founder.
Imagine replacing 4 of the motors with 4 jet engines with a fuel tank. The range can be extended beyond 1000 miles.
Stop the talking and start the shipping! I'm not getting any younger over here. *lol* Seriously, I'd love to see something like this in maybe a smaller, 4-place aircraft. Incredible!
He could have founded and can still found any company he wants. This video thinks he missed out? LOL Trust me, he may be out there at times but he is smart enough to get into what is more feasible at this time. Flying cars are still many years in the future even from this point, let alone 10 years ago. He also likes to state things to put a bug in peoples ear. People get excited and encouraged. He is an influencer for sure. I just hope he doesn't go off the deep end like most rich smart groundbreaking magnets. HE already has shown sign of that or he is just playing the part.
Elon could buy it
It wouldn't be hard for his team even if Elon wasn't the first mover. He's got manufacturing capability, he's got technology and he's go money to back him.
These guys have it together.
Simple is greatest.
Fantastic, game charging design.
Never happening ever
Pure vaporware
Just ask yourself
When I open my Uber app and select the car and destination I hit send
The car comes right to my house.
How is this process going to work with a flying car
Don't forget there's people who live in hoa's who will be very bothered by tons of helicopters landing in and out of my neighborhood.
How is this going to work and how is it going to have mass adoption with zero feasibility?
WOW all that CO2. Lots of happy plants with more plant food. More food for us.
Ideal form !
another good bet I think they need to have a backup genny when that thing is VTOLing though... just in case.
Lilium Jet is far ahead of the competition, although their aircraft will not be the first to hit the scene. Competing Vtol designs like Joby and Archer will be the first out the gate, Joby does have a decent eVtol, but its design was quickly derived with little consideration for scaling up. Its problem is in its design. It uses many rather large rotors to life a rather small payload. It currently supports 4 passengers and 1 pilot. 3 of which are seated comfortably, but the rear two passengers are confined. Unless Archer's Vtol is to support remote piloting, then it only supports 1 passenger and 1 pilot. which doesnt make it viable for commercial shuttle and taxi use as a business. It would find its use as personal ownership and air mobility of the light sports and recreational aircraft category, such as the icon A5. This would also apply to much of the Ehang and Volocopter offerings. Lilium Jet is the leading eVTOL startup/platform its design is completely different than the competition. Eliminating the use of many exposed rotors, providing levels of safety non of the others can match. And its design readly sees to scalablity without much rethinking in terms of engineering. Though they first prototyped from 2 to 4 seater aircraft, they now plan to launch with a 7 seater aircraft. 1 pilot 6 passengers. which from a business aspect makes it perfect for commercial use and revenue gain. Ironically although not of the same category, The lilium Jet see's itself competing in the same grounds as very lite buisness jet class. Of course it niether has the speed nor range of such jets like the new HONDA JET, elite series. Lilium Jet shares the same 6 passenger occupancy as the Honda Jet. 1 additional pilot seat appose to honda jets 2. never the less. regional routes would be of key interest of both. Small regional charter airlines may find themselves mixing their fleet options between those of lilium jet and honda jet and other turbo prop options. And Evtol in ones fleet would see to vast reductions in cost and maintenance.
Well said. I still believe there will be a market for the Joby s4, I'd like to know what JoeBen has in mind to scale things up
How did you determine they are far ahead of competition? Because their's looks cooler? A mock-up means nothing. Yes, I am aware of their test flights, but they have not shown any progress in almost two years, AND the test flight they posted has no audio, nor can you determine if the aircraft is even full-sized or just a scaled model. You say unlike the competition, their craft is scalable? They have not shown that either; just animations of scaled-up craft and again their mock-up.
@@trekkeruss Joby is ahead of Lillium in every major category of their eVTOL, besides the amount of seating. Correct me if I’m wrong
@@LukeFG The seating in the Lillium is largely irrelevant. They can show as many cool looking mockups as they want. Lillium has not flown with a single person.
Whoever comes out on top, I think this market is still only going to serve the rich. Anyone who thinks this is going to be for the masses with cheap Uber/Lyft-like jaunts around town is probably mistaken.
@@trekkeruss I agree. I know Joby Aviation has received their certifications first amongst their peers, and they have been operating for over 10 years. They have multiple designs with huge amounts of data collected. Joby is by far the fastest, most efficient, and best positioned for success imo with partnerships with Toyota and Uber
Trough his mission in swiching the world to EV ... he actually did the founding of it but Equity Free ;)
My new goal
5000 shares holding
are u okay?
@@NONAME-b4i9p Still holding
There is more than a whiff of BS here. The “payload increase to the biggest in the market” comes after 6 years of failing to deliver the lesser payloads promised to be certified and in service by 3 years ago. It is easy to make bold claims about where you will be in the future but the fact is none of the test models have done anything more than tiny little flights within the airfield boundary. There has not been a single flight that offers evidence Lilium are anywhere near being able to deliver on their incredible claims for range, speed and useful load. I absolutely guarantee this ‘jet’ will not be certified and carrying 6 passengers in revenue service by 2024.
What is the action range and the top speed of this prototype ?
Take out 1 seat, add a generator and increase range as a hybrid.
Looks like something id build in KSP.
Lilium is never ever ever gonna work for 3 reasons….. 1. Batteries can’t hold enough energy. 2. Batteries are too heavy. 3. You still need to sue an airport for takeoff and landing. If you don’t understand this you aren’t a pilot.
Question is how much for 1 Lilium eVTOL compared to other lower tech exposed propeller eVTOLs. If the market can afford an eVTOL worth more than $800k or more for their operations.
VW should immediately buy them and try to quickly develop a more affordable version that could be autonomous and replace the family car. They could leapfrog Elon and save the industry.
I doubt that will ever happen.
all these videos about flying cars but why cars? am i the only one that watched Agent Cody Banks back in the day? 2 tilting vertical facing giant dyson fans on either side above you and a single person seat in a pod with clear oled screen built in to the windshield to creat AR mapping in real time
If Tesla did take on such a product, it would be on the market in less than two years
No, it isn’t about money
"Lilium will be the leader in long range advanced air mobility" I think not. Slick, well produced video. Many technical flaws. eVTOLs are by their nature inefficient. Long range requires efficiency. The video's final statement is an oxymoron.
I appreciate your comment. Lilium entire design is based in cruise flight, but after all, as you point out, vtol capabilities greatly limit the range.
@@eVTOLinnovation well it would be nice to have airlines that go to smaller cities without having to have a lay over in a bigger hub. That’s where u guys would come in perfect.
@@trentgrage5478 I think that’s where 30 or 40 passenger versions of these things will come into play.
that's what they said about tesla, I remember when Tesla stick was 100 dollars and they made fun of cathy woods and look at it now.
Maybe Elon can safe Lilium.
I think they will end up with rotors later because there are too many fat people and rotors can lift more weight. They'll have a turbine electric hybrid version for faster transport I'm betting on later also.
simple, add a passenger weight limit..
because, who wants to be stuck in a carbon fibre tube with 6 fat bastards for a 30 minute flight.. no thank you.. lol
Black Fly-looks like a great product.....what do you think, Mr Musk????
Interesting for sure.
I foresee musk buying lilium
Lilium needs rocket boosters to start efficient :D
😁😁
Totally not a click bait
In the current Lilium situation, vertical takeoff and landing electric airplane innovation technology is becoming a thing of the past.
Will Elon Musk just watch?
Or should I try something?
No idea how they will make a smooth transition from VTO to horizontal travel, in my mind I see the plane diving to gain forward inertia.
The rear mounted fans are in groups, so some can be left point down, while some can begin the transition by rotating to forward thrust, the added benefit here is that the fans draw air over the top of the wings at a faster speed, thus increasing lift, (Coanda effect basically) without the requirement of forward momentum to generate it.. pretty tricky, but it's just physics.
So, with this lift being generated by drawn air over the wing, the fact that some fans are not pointing (but pushing forward) down is mitigated out, and the vehicle begins to accelerated forwards anyway.. then more groups of fans can be rotated, and away they go.. :)
Transitioning back to hover from 250+kph will be a bit more difficult, there's lots of speed and momentum to wash off before the fans can be rotated back to hover..
Yay for drone tech and the tiny and very accurate gyros they use, along with super quick micro processors to do the number crunching.. most aspects of these flights will be automated which is the smart thing to do, but I do see a market for racing these (and other VTOL) craft on the future as this will push and expand the technology in the same way F1 racing has for the road car.
But it actually won't be able to vertically take off with high payload without increasing fan speed causing more noises due to high disc loading.
None of Liliums designs have ever flown with a human in it.
smaller fans are worse, thermodynamics makes no exceptions if it looks cool.
they pump out new prototypes because all the others failed.
very nice
Tesla and Lilium should partner up
Its my guess that the power electronics, motors and some of the battery tech was copied from Tesla patents which were open sourced to the public
Evtol batteries have different requirements than cars. I don’t really know what patents were used if any.
So play the audio of your test rig in take off and cruise flight. Then talk about run time.
So Musk did not say this was the company he wanted to found.
