Just need to invent a real gigaconductor

How may MAh would you need to run say a dozen flights of a 146 around Europe? Somehow I suspect even if using superconducting cable to recharge it will make the problem of recharging a street of electric cars look simple.

Hats off to Mr Hamilton for the idea all those years ago.
