Ignore the PR fodder and go run the actual numbers. The actual range/endurance/payload capability of these aircraft is a tiny tiny fraction of their Jet-A/100L

Ignore the PR fodder and go run the actual numbers. The actual range/endurance/payload capability of these aircraft is a tiny tiny fraction of their Jet-A/100LL counterparts. It will eventually get better, and a lot of organizations are smart to keep that in mind, but we're not there yet and won't be for a decade at least.
- SECProto 7y agoI specifically mentioned that the range and applications of this initial version is very limited. I was mostly just pointing out a company (with a very unique service) that is at the point where it's possible. It won't make its way to major carriers for a long time (i think a decade would be quite optimistic, given lead times in aviation)
