Electric Airbus with 40 seats will be able to lift 5 tons of cargo and fly long distances

The design of the glider is noteworthy: it will rise using vertical take-off using

four rows of large channel propellers arranged in twos and equipped with variable pitch blades. These propeller units will tilt forward to propel the Airbus forward.

But unlike most eVTOLs with large andwide fenders, the Kelekona will drive the airbus through the shape of its body. Lilium has a massive, flat and wide teardrop-shaped "body" on the sides. The front is rounded and the back is pointed. The lower part of the body looks rather flat, and the top is slightly convex so that this "blot" can take off.

There is a separate issue of charging huge and powerfulbatteries that are required to travel long distances. Kelekona plans to turn the entire lower floor of the Airbus into a battery to support slow charging.
