Electric propulsion makes sense in-flight where relatively little power is used - but not for takeoff. And while storage has a long way to go, using electrically powered hybrid engines may be a longer term solution.


Just look how far electric cars have come in 10 years with little financial/economic pressure and just the green lobby. Now try it with oil in 10 years time over 100 Dollars a barrel......
