A creative idea has been conceptualized for a five-Seater Electric Jet that can move
passengers between Manhattan and JFK Airport in five minutes.
This ambitious idea has caught the attention of
China's Tencent Company, the lead investor in a $90 million fundraising round
announced Tuesday by Startup Lilium.
Lilium has recently hired executives with experience
at Airbus, Rolls Royce and Tesla. The company has said it will use the money to
add to its 70 staff and develop a larger five-seat jet that can take off and
land vertically.
The company's next design project is an air taxi
that can travel at speeds of up to 300 km/hour (186 mph). Powered by 36
engines, it would carry five passengers up to 300 km (186 miles) while producing
zero emissions.
