German start-up Lilium has completed the first phase of testing for its electric prototype flying taxi. The last we heard from Lilium was in May of this year, when its unpiloted prototype finished its first test flight — basically taking off, hovering for a few seconds, and then landing. The five-seat plane, which has 36 electric jet engines fitted to the wings, made the switch from vertical to level flight, and travelled at a speed of 100 km/h. /s during the test. It's on track to launch commercial operations in 2025.
