And you can fit 5 hours of fuel in the tanks to power the engine which isn't running yet so they have no idea about fuel burn......

Does it look nice? yes of course but there is a very long way to go and 2024 is passing quickly.
At 35 gallons an hour the fuel tank must be at least 175 gallons capacity............if it has 5 hour duration. Now that is quite a large fuel tank(s).
