Holy cow. This isn't CG, and it looks like it's to scale (but I don't see an interior). What does everyone think?
I'm super excited. It looks legit - battery technology, I don't know. Gas, you could make it work - hydrogen too? But no one would want to fly in that - I bet the vibrations would be insane from an engine big enough to do that and all the little motors.
EDIT: On the Facebook video I saw this on, they listed a 19 km distance ("the Lilium poad" in Manhattan, NYC to JFK Airport) in 5 minutes' time for $36 up front, then $13 near-term, $6 long term (whatever that means). They compare it to a cab fair of $56-73 distance of 26 km in 55 minutes.
