Flying taxi startup Lilium will set up its first U.S. hub near Orlando, Florida, putting more than 20 million people within range of the winged electric aircraft that can take off vertically and cover 300 kilometers (185 miles) in a single one-hour hop.

Munich-based Lilium said on Nov. 11 its first U.S. Vertiport would be in Lake Nona, a futuristic smart city being built near Orlando International Airport by the Tavistock Development Group.
