A start-up company hosted in an ESA business incubator is developing the world's first vertical takeoff and landing (VOTL) aircraft for personal use.
Founded in February 2015 by four engineers and doctoral students from the Technical University of Munich in Germany, LILIUM has already proved the concept with several scale, 25 kg prototypes and is now developing its first ultra-light “vertical takeoff and landing aircraft”.
Although taking off and landing like a helicopter, by swiveling its engines it also functions as a very efficient aircraft that can travel at up to 400 km/h.
The plane is classed as a Light Sport Aircraft for two occupants, with the pilot's license requiring 20 hours' minimum training almost like taking a driving license.
Using computer control for vertical takeoff and landing the aircraft target at the consumer market for personal transportation.
