  1. a question for the signature person, How about those of us the cant use leaded fuel, they don't sell any ul so we don't get a break in fees. Oh and the Lilium "jet" is a misnomer it's not a jet, it's a ducted fan,

  2. Lilium has been vaporware for a decade, they show off this glossy concept model but they never bothered to make a prototype fly first. Their thruster design doesn't inspire confidence that they are strong enough to lift significant weight but maybe…
    The Boeing is probably not hugely expensive, maybe 10-20milllion but it's 7-800gph fuel, service cost is probably interesting and finding a hangar for it is an adventure on its own. It just doesn't make sense in reality, you can't fly to small airstrips, you can't park it anywhere. Flying coach is more luxurious in reality. It just might make sense as transatlantic charter. Maybe.
    Those FBOs might include anything under 1 ton so you don't get charged 2000$ if you show up in a sonex with a small jet or a cri cri with 2 model jets.
