  Flying Taxi Has 30 Tilting Jet Fans To Fly                                             Source:  Lilium Radical New Aviation Technology At the recent Farmborough Air Show in the UK, Munich-based eVTOL startup Lilium unveiled its 6 passenger and 1 pilot new eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle).  The electric flying machine has 30 tilting jet fans to lift off, fly and land. It is revolutionary aviation technology that Lilium hopes to have European certification to fly commercially by 2025.  Lilium is collaborating with a global leader in aircraft systems and cabin design, Diehl Aviation to finalize the vehicle. Timeframe and Tech Specs Lilium is significantly accelerating the testing and development of the eVTOL.  The company has faced some criticism for slippage in its time frames.  5th generation eVTOL demonstrators are currently undergoing testing at Lilium facilities in Spain. The company is also working on next-generation battery technology systems to expand range

  Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X5                                             Source: Horizon Aircraft Brand New eVTOL Design From Toronto, Canada's Horizon Aircraft, a new and good-looking eVTOL that is very close to hitting the skies.  The stylish breakthrough aircraft is called the Cavorite X5 and it is now a 50%-scale prototype for testing and development.  The aircraft is getting rave reviews for its unique combination of eVTOL technologies that can vertically takeoff and lift and its traditional airplane technologies that can takeoff, soar and land. X5 is a much-anticipated new aviation concept that also has sleek, good looks and tremendous efficiency. The Wings Are the Differentiators The aircraft's wings are the key differentiator.  They open and contain 16 ducted fans that provide vertical lift.  Once the plane reaches altitude, the wings start closing as the plane transitions to cruising speed and functions as a traditional aircraft.  This dual operational approach

Production of the buggy ended in 1971.  But the epic vehicle has recently been resurrected by venture capitalist and car afficionado Phillip Sarofim.  He just unveiled the first new model of the dune buggy in nearly 60 years.  It's called the Meyers Manx 2.0 Electric and it will officially be introduced at Monterey Car Week later in August in California. The original Meyers Manx was created to ride the sands of Newport Beach, California.  Electric Dune Buggy The new beach buggy is fully electric and has a lot of power and performance.  While remaining true to its Manx roots, there are many design upgrades on the new EV.  The body parts are smooth, and the body fenders are sculptured.  And there's a new hardtop
