Many people drive their cars to school or work now. So there are lots of cars on the streets. Sometimes, it's not easy for you to get to school or work on time (准时). Then you want to take a plane to school or work. Can your dream come true? Yes!

Four people in Germany (德国) make a new plane-Lilium Jet. It doesn't look like a plane but an egg. Many people think it looks funny. The nice "egg" can take two people and "run" about three hundred kilometers an hour.

The Lilium Jet is not very big. So it doesn't need an airport (机场). A small place is OK.

Some people also call the Lilium Jet "a flying car". It's not difficult for you to learn to drive it. You can drive it like (像) driving a car.

Maybe you can buy one in 2025 if you like it. Your trip to school or work must be great.
