I’m very curious how this thing can fly 110 miles, considering that it has to keep it’s batteries suspended in the air with it, and the energy density (by weight) of batteries is on the order of 5% of gasoline.

Perhaps they have a way, but I cannot see it!

Maybe this electric aircraft comes with a really long cord.

Regenerative braking!

It will recharge as it’s falling out of the sky.

What, no anti-gravity device, to offset the weight of the batteries?

Use the hydrogen to fill balloons, from which the whole vehicle is then suspended.

What could possibly go wrong?

That’s because you understand at least basic physics, engineering, and math, unlike anyone who buys into this fantasy.
