Do batteries that can power a plane for routes like this exist yet? I know nothing about aviation, but I always thought the energy needed to spin up a turbine, or prop, is immense.
- Robotbeat 5y agoWe’re building such planes now. https://twitter.com/GovInslee/status/1440442441920774146 https://twitter.com/GovInslee/status/1440442441920774146 The batteries are plenty powerful. We’re limited in energy to about 500-1000 miles unless we use better aerodynamics, etc.
