Lillium: Making Electric Aircraft' Future Very Bright For a more detailed analysis, click on the link below for more details. http://www.luxurious-life.net/lillium-making-aircraft-future-very-bright/ The egg-shaped private jet, called Lilium, is the first aircraft in the world to be able to take off and land vertically. The egg-shaped plane, called Lilium, has been heralded as high up as the European Space Agency (ESA) The plane, designed by four German engineers, takes off and lands vertically, meaning it can use helipads. Lilium has a top speed of 250mph, a range of 300 miles and only requires 50 feet by 50 feet of space. Set to launch in 2018, the aircraft has a top speed of 250mph and a range of 300 miles. The tiny plane, which was designed in Germany by four Munich University graduates, has been praised for its environmental benefits. And due to its amazing vertical skills the plane can take off and land anywhere without the need for an airport or strip. In a release by The European Space Agency (ESA) , Lilium co-owner Daniel Wiegand said: "Our goal is to develop an aircraft for use in everyday life. "We are going for a plane that can take off and land vertically and does not need the complex and expensive infrastructure of an airport. "To reduce noise and pollution, we are using electric engines so it can also be used close to urban areas." The eco-friendly jet is electric, meaning there are less emissions and it is quieter than previous private jets because of the ducted fan engines. "The goal is for it to take off vertically from almost anywhere – even from back gardens," the ESA state. The website describes the two-seater plane as "elegance, speed, comfort and sustainability – fusing to a new form of traveling, defining a completely new form of freedom." Designed by German engineers Daniel Wiegand, Patrick Nathen, Sebastian Born and Matthias Meiner, aviation enthusiasts will need a pilot's licence and at least 20 hours of training to fly the craft. Due to its small size however, it can only be taken out in daylight when the weather conditions are good. And at the moment there is no information on how much the plane will cost. ********** ENGAGE * Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUrlZ3asjbbD7AkpIjkL8EA * Leave a comment, thumbs up the video (please!) ********** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_aircraft https://www.youtube.com/embed/aFs-46FvsOU "lillium", "private aircraft", "electric aircraft", "private jet", "future aircraft"
