  14.  @tonii5690  My comment says nothing of the sort. But his video says short haul is the future, ignoring the fact most flights are much longer than that. Yes, given where I live and how far I can expect to drive in a single day, 300miles is NOT enough from an electric car, I can get 400-800 miles out of my car on a single tank depending on time of year and how I'm driving it. Not to mention recharge times and infrastructure compared to refueling. Also, living in a colder climate, you can lose 30% battery capacity for half the year, meaning that 300mile car is only 200 miles, once again, not nearly enough. I drive 200 miles just to see my sisters on a weekend, or to got to another city to see a museum or attend a show on a weekend. I can't park and charge at my destination, so how do I get home? As of now, physics regarding airplanes and batteries is not viable for regular air travel. As I pointed out in another comment on this video, if they model new planes after the likes of the Celera 500, and use hydrogen fuel cells, they might have something. Otherwise energy density of batteries needs to get Massively better, as well as battery swapping infrastructure to support it, because trying to wait to charge a battery for a commercial sized plane is not going to be practical in any way. Never mind the lack of electrical grid infrastructure to support all this. We need to start building nuclear SMR/thorium reactors Now by the thousands, or it's Never going to happen. Do the math, look at the physics, check the aerodynamics, see for yourself.
