Thanks for the information. Ignore the battery heads. I have a 13 year old audi A3. It's done 250000miles I am going to keep it until audi VW make another diesel equivalent. I paid hard earned money for it. Its been a fantastic car. That's why I worked so hard to pay for it and maintain it. If the 737 boeings and airbus jets can fly for 20 years then so can my audi

@rockettests2617 the further the jet flies the lighter it gets. The battery has no chance of competing

@timtravelnomad batteries are diametrically opposite of what you need for aviation. Not only is jet A1 the most efficient fuel available it's the most reliable and works in the zone of least air resistance. It also gets lighter as its used up. Batteries for planes is a lie like travelling to mars. You may look up muscle atrophy. At very best they'd be good for is to ferry top buisness personal from the top of the skyscraper to the airports Or in hybrid cars to exit cities quietly till the real driving begins I have extensive experience in the taxi driver to the airport experience. I know what works. Until the boffin get dilithium crystals up and running we're going to use oil. I don't make the rules
