Uplinker - how much does such a system weigh? Total - not just the motor but the extra wiring, controls, etc.
500 miles is a short flight - at least on this side of the pond typical flight length for an A320/737 sized aircraft is over twice that (which would proportionally increase the cruise fuel burn due to the extra mass of the system)
