In the fight against global warming, the electrification of car traffic in Europe is a foregone conclusion: from 2035, all new cars in the EU must be emission-free, which should be achieved mainly with electric cars, and occasionally also with hydrogen and e-fuels. Other logistics areas, such as rail, also successfully use electricity as fuel. In aviation it is more complicated.
It is not for nothing that aviation start-ups have mainly presented short-haul passenger drones in recent years. Rechargeable batteries are much too heavy for long flights, including intercontinental flights, and do not store enough energy per kilo. Electric motors are also too heavy compared to jet engines. But there is significant progress to report.
