Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 days ago“The math is somewhat different” does not give adequate consideration to the importance.
That 777 I mentioned? The fuel weight on a maximum range flight is more than twice its remaining payload capacity. Fuel weight is the primary consideration you need to be looking at. The efficiency gains from charging batteries (relative to electrically-produced fuel) cannot justify the losses from their constant weight.

Alright, that’s fair on your part.
