Comment on Lilium (LILM) receives firm order from UrbanLink to put 20 eVTOL jets into service in Florida
Shurimal@kbin.social 1 month agoThey're not jets. They're ducted fans. Different things. "Electric jet" makes as much sense as "electric V8 engine".

There is work going on making actual electric jets. They use plasma to expand the compressed gas in the same way conventional jets use fuel. Very early days though.
