Lilium and Magic Leap are fake, idk about the others.
it is fake. two observations:

1. they sent a pre-recorded video to the media instead of inviting the media to witness the test flight. those who are capable of building such flying cars don't make stupid mistakes in such scale.

2. it has 36 engines, good luck for the vibrational modes.

Also wondering what its radius of flight would be.
What do you mean by fake? I'll admit everytime i checked out magic leap it seemed very unspecific and vague, without any actual demos. Are you saying the company doesnt even exist or just that it has unrealistic goals?

And if their goal isn't even to release a product what is it?

Sucking investor money.
Like Uber?
Magic leap looks more, and more like smoke an mirrors these days.
