Hybrid electric jet engines are being developed, and have real potential to improve fuel economy. A substantial improvement in fuel economy could mean carrying less fuel, which in turn improves fuel economy.
But if you’re talking about plug-in electric, the challenge is presumably battery weight versus fuel weight.
