Re: The usual error

And you have made teh usual error of conflating the source of energy with the practicability of actually deploying it.

Namely the fact that an electric aircraft performs a lot better then than the megajoules in its battery would indicate by direct comparison with a fuel engine.

Oh and a ground based CCGT is about twice as efficient as the same turbine in the aircraft.
