You've contradicted yourself by saying that batteries are both less and more dense than jet fuel...

- anovikov 10y agoLOL energy density is much much lower, but volumetric density is several times higher. Meaning, they take less space for same weight -> airframe can have smaller profile and have less air resistance.
- kgabis 10y agoI don't think that's true, both volumetric and mass densities for lithium ion batteries are very low (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Energy_density.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Energy_d...).
