This flying taxi is expected to be a useful means of transportation in the future, helping to solve the traffic congestion of all passengers.

This flying taxi model will have a 6-month test flight.

Currently, Lilium is testing this device with a remote control. According to the plan, the pilot will be put into test drive of this aircraft model after the competent authorities issued the certificate of aircraft safety quality.

According to the manufacturers of Lilium, after finishing, the company's flying taxi can fly a distance of 300km in an hour in the inner city. In addition, the advantages of flying taxis are competitive prices and zero emissions compared to other means of transportation such as commercial aircraft and road and rail vehicles.

In addition to Lilium, there are a number of other companies, such as the German Volocoper and the UK Vertical Aerospace, which are also working on developing flying taxi models.

Currently, Lilium is in the process of producing a second type of flying taxi and is about to expand the production of about 100 other taxi aircraft in the next few years.

Along with the production process, Lilium is working with the European aircraft quality registry to certify the safety standards of this flying taxi.
