What could possibly go wrong.

It's that old thing...if it ain't broke...don't fix it.

So will Lockheed roll out a new Elactra?

"Experts say the trajectory is an environmental necessity in the face of a worsening climate crisis."

And there it is...the underlying insanity that drives all of this electrification craze. Recent reports say we will need six times more copper to achieve our Glorious Green Future. I'm sure the environweenies will be fine with opening hundreds of gigantic open pit copper mines all over the world.

If only there was a reliable alternative to EV.

"...today’s batteries aren’t nearly as energy-dense as jet fuel, requiring bulk and weight that pose significant aerodynamic challenges."

As if aerodynamic challenge is the only problem. Batteries are very heavy. What about the challenge of hauling 13 times the weight of equivalent jet fuel to high altitude? Does that make engineering and economic sense?

Battery fire at 35,000 ft.
No thank you.

I’m fine if the technology is focused on safety and efficiency. But I don’t see how batteries are efficient.

Leonardo Cornholio can be a test pilot for these battery powered planes. He can channel Howard Hughes.

Electric cars work because they accelerate and deaccelerate while capturing the energy. Planes, not so much. They are constantly on and turning the prop.

The first rollouts for a major airline—with United—are due in 2026, and countries like Denmark and Sweden have announced plans to make all domestic flights fossil fuel–free by 2030.

LOL No way. It takes years just to new part design for an airplane just to get it thru the FAA!

No thanks !

How about an airborne fire that cannot be extinguished?

I just saw a photo of an electric transit bus that burned to the ground. Its fire could not be extinguished.

Only a fool would ride inside an electric plane. It could not land fast enough during a fire-in-the-air emergency. Everybody gets cooked alive before it crashes.
