What the market needs to see is flights more representative of typical mission profiles. This also needs to demonstrate the eventualities procedures for issues with either airfield or aircraft. It can be virtual or realworld, but the market does need to see this to gain confidence.
Can you tell us what is the impact of colder air temperatures on the battery performance? Many cities have winter air temperatures well below freezing and also air temperature tends to decrease with increasing altitude. This was brought to mind by a recent article about the inability to charge Tesla batteries in subfreezing weather. Thanks.
...you need to heat them.... as for cars... and this off course increases the consumption and reduces the range... But you likely need to heat anyway everything. Unless you operate it in spain or countries more south ..as in the example video..
@avigator because it's a scam and it's not possible for a bigger one to do what a little toy one can't. The square cube law. They can't even show 2 full minutes with the prototype. I think they will not have a full sized one lift off the ground empty. We will see. There would be records to break if multirotor evtols could lift people for minutes. None of them can
I got the answer from your introduction now. Lilium has ten battery packs. That’s exactly like what I was imaging because I had pondering that if Lilium lost one packs, then there’re still other available packs are still working then gradually bring the aircraft down to ground in balence.

"Flight Range (2040) : 1,100km)" so they're just making a wild-ass guess about what batteries will be able to do 17 years from now. If this was a serious company and not just a scheme to acquire investment money they would publish current 2024 flight range numbers using the real batteries that are in the platform. The fact that they don't actually tell you what the product can actually do should be a red flag for any investor.
With all due respect, their development work was based on Electric Vehicles (EV's/Cars) not eVTOL's (Flying Vehicles). It will require much more energy ( factors for consideration are weight, air resistance, distance etc...) to sustain flight, which they have not proven at this time. Please be advise that Honda is developing a Hybrid solution (Gas/Battery) to overcome these obstacles.
Isn't this thing a 2/3 scale model? The vehicle shown in this clip has not and will not carry a human...correct? Has there been a real human being carried in a Lilium "Fan" yet? Everyone else is carrying people now, right? If this thing does not perform, it will be in trouble. And since it will only carry 3 big boys with full airline baggage it may be in trouble anyway.
sodium-ion will not become standard in the next 10-30 years, it takes manufacturing processes and supply chain to mass produce efficient and solid batteries lithium is here to stay at least in the mid-term future
Yeah, many people forget that efficiency is not the only thing that matters. The Lilium may be energy efficient, but it's got to be mass-efficient. Can we measure km/kg? Range relative to cargo weight capacity?
Not enough info. 175 Kim is that after allowing for reserve in the battery. not much. What’s the speed? For how many people Only 6 ? what if you lose 2 battery power packs ? Waiting 7 years to double the distance is way too long. Haven’t seen this beast flying with a pilot yet Think you have missed out heaps of important info. So take it we have to presume the bare minimum. So when will you have your first commercial flight. You haven’t got that far yet.
To me this startup looks and feels like a solution looking for a problem already solved long ago. Batteries just don’t have the stamina needed for energy hungry applications.
@@TheBagOfHolding Bro I’m really sorry I have to tell you this, but what you are saying is just total bs… Look at their battery’s specifications, it‘s ~320 wh/kg (on the cell level) which equals to around 300 kWh for their whole 1500 kg battery (~900 kg for the cell-part and ~600 for surrounding structures etc.). How on earth do you calculate 4 minutes of flight time based on these numbers? 😂
@@TheBagOfHolding Take the exact numbers with a grain of salt, I‘m not an engineer, let alone an aerospace engineer, but I believe the calculation is at least fairly accurate…
If I had a dollar for every promise of future battery tech that’s just a few years away…🙄 Batteries HAVE NOT gained 6-7% or 4.5% per year in recent history. Simply “believing” that it will is total BS.
If you look at the 20 year trend, it's 5% per year. There are of course better and worse years, but 5% is the average. It's easy to be carried away with announcements of new cells, but it takes quite a few years to get from the lab to certified commercial use. And most fail on the way for a wide variety of reasons.
Agreed unless something completely new comes around the corner, density is near it’s peak. Only production costs are likely to be significantly reduced, leading to the possibility of larger battery packs - however in a plane there are obvious limits
@@EarthCreature. They should be embarrassed that they can't fly a full sized craft. I don't care about the algorithm I wish more people made videos about evtol. I think only ai robots care to make videos and that's strange considering all the money. Do you think it's wrong to want proof their prototype can fly empty for 5 straight minutes? That should be easy.
Hybrid VTOL (Gas/Batteries) is the way to go. The Single Point of Failure as it relates to this 100% battery eVTOL (cold temperatures, system malfunctions, electromagnetic pulses etc..) and it's circuitry is the 10K pound elephant in the room. I am NOT convinced that this vehicle is SAFE for the public.
At the end of the flight when all the packs are low on energy, do you still have enough juice to land? EV industry is so high risk, first video of a crash the stock will crash.

They didn’t, although the energy density would be higher from Amprius.
@@TheBagOfHolding Yes they are

Wären nicht Super Caps für den Start und Landung additionell sinnvoll?

long range = about 85 miles, or 40 miles round trip.
Solid state battery?
I remember when they said it would have 300km range :(
Yes, 350km in 10 years, based on rate of battery capacity evolution.
Lithium sulfur cathode and silicon anode battery help
Has there been a manned test flight yet?
They never made one for people. They just have a toy prototype drone that barely flies.
Nope. The first aircraft with a flight deck is only built in the spring of 2024.

Energy density matters... Li-Po = 1 MJ/kg while Jet A = 43 MJ/kg

Big mistake not going for hydrogen. Toyota is super confident on their hydrogen capabilities, and hydrogen gas is so accessible.
They are heavier than lithium batteries.
$2 per passenger kilometer - isn`t that a bit much for an electric aircraft?
