Are you made. Lithium air. The holy Grail of battery tech. I want want your huffing. Think you are dreaming of you think we will get air travel with electricity in the next decade. Let alone few years.
It is no I agree but also why not skip middle man and go hydrogen. Cuts out a lot of issues with biofuel. Adds a bunch with hydrogen production, storage transportation, safety.
Also true.
I was under the impression they were retrofitting them to take hydrogen. I know a family member on the areospace field and they are currently testing hydrogen as a new system. Obviously electric would be better but it’s decades away.
Yeah bad thought process. I wouldn’t say as bad as Trump though. I’ve not been racist sexist or claiming wind mills cause cancer. I get a few positive nys for that.
Short haul flights. Yes. Because I know they have them. Currently testing. But nothing substantial. Battery isn’t ready just yet. Won’t be ready for several years. Then plants need to test for 10+ years for safety. Then production and getting them to customers. It’s a long way away.
Small planes that can fly for a few hours then recharge are viable.
Why not just go hydrogen at that point? Isn’t it easier ?

Viable aircraft batteries are close. Probably not the ‘this year’ that’s in the announcement, but next in 2024.
