No. Electric is the best way to convert renewable energy to useful flight energy.
Anyway, it bothers me one people refer to the constraint being "large aircraft" when the real difficulty on electric flight is range, not how big the aircraft is. Electric flight scales up just fine. It's the range issue that's hardest. Currently can do 1000km, maybe up to 2000km with lithium ion and lithium sulfur chemistries with optimized structure and aerodynamics. Could scale up to larger sizes if desired.
