Fuel loads, as quite heavy, vary with the planned flight. Although electric aircraft are quite interesting, the stated range of this passenger plane is far too short to be used for any legal flights. Perhaps there is a market for LA to Victorville or DC to Philly. |

When an airliner has a short hop with a full load of passengers they can back off the fuel load and lift more weight. An electric plane has all its batteries at all times, batteries made up of thousands of little cells, any one of which may be defective and fail, causing a chain reaction. Dying in an inferno plummeting from the sky is not fun. |
