    I'd like to see any of these new fangled airplane things in real IMC, about 2C and BR (mist). Good friggin luck. So many places for ice to choke it to death. What's the point if the things are only going to be VFR?

    I like it for the fact that it doesn't look like a 'quadcopter' with a kazillion tiny propellers, at least not visible ones;).

    What happens in a loss of power? Doesn't look like it has any traditional flight control surfaces.

    Electric aircraft startup Lilium ceases operations, 1,000 workers laid off

    Lilium, once a darling in the nascent industry of electric aircraft that raised more than $1 billion before going public, has ceased operations and laid off about 1,000 workers after efforts to gain financing and exit insolvency failed.

    Update: Lilium might be saved after all. The company said in a Dec. 24 announcement that a consortium of investors has agreed to acquire two Lilium subsidiaries, which would allow it to restructure and exit insolvency.

    They got bought out by another group of investors who are throwing another $200 mil at it.
