For that sort of range hydrogen electric is also starting to look viable
- usrusr 3y agoHydrogen electric is little more than greenwashing before we have anything resembling a hydrogen surplus on the horizon. Energy density is always an issue in flying applications and it's well possible that a boring old turboprop burning efuels (made from that very same hydrogen surplus) would be the clear winner. Losses of the transformation pipeline vs losses from carrying the most impractical fuel type ever tried. Minimizing the energy requirement at the final conversion step is an important thing all too often missed in the frenzy of converting the path to get there.
