“TWO TONS OF BATTERIES AND COOLING EQUIPMENT”
Actually, the batteries weigh the same as the weight of the jet fuel no longer required.
Two tons of batteries or two tons of fuel, which will take you further.
“Actually, the batteries weigh the same as the weight of the jet fuel no longer required.”
Why do you guys have to lie about it?

Uh, two tons is still 4000 lbs in Texas, right? A full load of fuel in the Caravan is roughly 1900 lbs. Like the man said, how far can you go on 1900 lbs (335 gallons) of fuel vs two tons of batteries? About 1000 nm vs 100nm.
“Actually, the batteries weigh the same as the weight of the jet fuel no longer required.”
And unlike the jet fuel which is burned off, the whole weight of the batteries is there from start to finish.
So ends my extremely limited knowledge of the subject.
Prop planes use JET fuel?
Learn something every day!
How much does the jet fuel weigh as it is expended? How much do the batteries weigh as they are discharged?
A plane flies further and higher as it gets lighter by burning fuel. The weight stays the same with batteries.
