“ELECTRIC AVIATION PING!.”
I wonder if they plan on making Russia and China do the same, or are they just looking for us to get our asses kicked by them?
Anyway, hybrids are fine for cars and are now even more reliable than gas cars (mainly due to the extreme pollution controls needed for gas-only vehicles). And they do GREAT regarding efficiency, due to being able to recover energy that was lost to braking in stop-and-go driving, and the effect of added weight of the hybrid components are relatively small, since it doesn’t have to supported in the air.
BUT, airplanes don’t do as well in stop-and-go flying, so it’s hard to see what benefits will be derived here, other than placating the Extremists who now control our government.
The only thing I could think of is stealth enhancement, silent, no heat signature..........................
If it is Boeing it will be not be going...
Anywhere.
This is bribes creating corporate welfare.
