It uses Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT) technology, which allows the aircraft to take off vertically and then accelerate horizontally, resembling the takeoff of a tiltrotor aircraft. The Lilium Jet will be able to carry five people (four passengers and a pilot) over distances of up to 175 kilometers (about 108.74
