Flying taxis? The Jetsons would be jealous of these electric aircraft coming to Orlando
ORLANDO, Fla. – Even George Jetson would do a doubletake at this new concept coming to Orlando: a fleet of electric jet aircraft to take people on regional journeys around Florida. While Lilium, the Munich-based company behind the technology, doesn’t call these flying wonders taxis it’s not a stretch of the imagination. The Lilium jet is under certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency and the FAA. The network will transport travelers from Orlando to Tampa in under 1 hour on a single charge, according to the company. See a complete test flight of the Lilium Jet below.
