Variable speed compressor, they don’t have it. They may be new units but they’re old tech.
For 335 miles, I would drive. Not more than about 7 hours. You can spend that amount of time going to the airport, parking, standing in line at ticket counter, standing in line at TSA checkpoints & getting insulted by their ‘pat downs’, waiting at the gate for boarding time, waiting for takeoff, and them waiting for baggage & rental car at your destination. Meanwhile, being subjected to crying infants ( I know they cannot help it), and trying to use a bathroom that turns you into a contortionist.
The cost of a bottle of water & the asshole sitting behind me kicking or bumping my seat for even an hour is a reason to commit homicide!!
I will drive.

“ME 262”
Göring’s on the phone from Freiburg
Said Willie done quite a job
Hitler’s on the phone from Berlin
Says I’m gonna make you a star
My Captain Von Ondine is your next patrol
A flight of English bombers across the canal
After twelve they’ll all be here
I think you know the job
They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
In a g-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes I’d faint and be lost to our side
But there’s no reward for failure - but death
So watch me in mirrors keep me on the glidepath
Get me through these radars, no, I cannot fail
While my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can’t fail - no not now
When twenty five bombers wait ripe
They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
ME 262 prince of turbojet
Junkers Jumo 004
Blasts from clustered R4/M quartets in my snout
And see these English planes go burn
Well, you be my witness, how red were the skies
When the fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia
In April of ‘45
They hung there dependent from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Junkers Jumo 004
Bombers at twelve o’clock high.
Oh, and there is nothing more filthy than manufacturing batteries. Heavy metals, chemicals, landfills.
The only waste that is derived from petroleum distillation is pentane, which is so unstable it can’t be reliably stored and used for fuel.
A pity, because it has more bang/lbs than any of the distillates.
This is how they’re going to stop people (except the elite) from flying? The climate cult has b!tched about not wanting people to fly for years.
I can see it now:
Electric aircraft sits on tarmac waiting to take off for 2 hours.
Captain announces, “Sorry folks, this flight is cancelled. Our batteries have died.”.............................
So now we’ll have coal/nuke powered planes?
I seriously doubt it.
This is Greenie-weenie onanism..................
Battery technology was pretty much stagnant for almost the entire 20th century. However, tremendous strides have been made in the last 2 decades, thanks to the demands of laptop and cell phone users. I used to believe that batteries would never reach the point where they would be practical in an applications like this. Today, I believe it is just a matter of time. Conservatives need to embrace this reality or risk being seen as flat-earthers.
