- JustSomeNobody 10y agoHmmm... I wonder. Let's say they design the aircraft around an existing battery (size/weight). If later technology allows for a lighter battery, would they they have to add the weight back in order to keep the cg correct?
- greglindahl 10y ago... for example, putting the batteries in the existing form-factor of removable cargo containers used in jumbo jets.
