I’ll bet they can get Boeing to build it.

CATL is making the new EV battery cells and modules that are being sold as DIY replacements in Leaf battery pack rebuilds. Smaller, cheaper than what Nissan wants and higher energy density.

The concept is intriguing but very scary. Personally would not set foot in such an aircraft until they were in common use for at least five years.

Perhaps they can revive the Comet or Meteor namesake.

From “successfully flown” with no range listed, to 2,000-3,000 in 3-4 years? Sounds like vaporware to me.

What is the range and useful payload at gross weight? Batteries are heavy. Every component of an aircraft is designed to be minimal weight but still do the job. If I were in a crash it would be a hard choice between Jet-A fuel which burns grandly but can be put out by ground crews or sitting on top of the same amount of energy in batteries that the ground crews can not suppress. Hard choices on safety and hard choices on economics. When one takes off from China and flys to the USA with the same payload as 787 dream-liner at the same cost I will think about it.
