No emissions? All those precious metals in the battery were mined by slaves with a pick axe? Batteries are still net consumers of energy. There’s nothing clean about them. Here on the east coast almost all electricity comes from coal so there’s nothing clean about the electricity either. Battery powered commercial planes are still light years away. Yes obviously it flies- but As other have said- capable of hauling large payloads, making long flights and operating profitable? Not even close For people who live in the real world we already know this.

interesting fact: every time someone builds a good diesel aircraft engine- a large corporation (owned 1 or 2 off by a 'holding co.") will go and buy that startup.. .and then PROMPTLY SHELVE it, never to be seen or heard from again. why? because you can power ANY diesel engine with vegetable oil. that's why we're seeing the epa mandate DPF's and smog inspections on diesels. not because they care about pollution! they want diesels to guzzle fuel like gas vehicles do- more fuel sales. (and here you thought you knew what the epa was for- they work FOR big oil) bio-fuels cut DIRECTLY into big oil's profits- and that just does NOT fit in with APi's 'vision' for the future- a future where they retain their oligopoly on energy. that's why you only find bio fuel 'blends'. big oil buys bio fuels at a loss- recieves incentives from the fed in EXCESS of their loss, then blends it with petroleum and makes even more profit off us than they would if they just sold you gasoline & diesel. the big oil's mouth pieces point & say "see! bio-fuels cost the tax payer". next there's going to be on onslaught of comments like- "but you can't meet the energy demands.. not enough crop soil for energy & food"- and before the development of algae produced bio-fuel? I would have agreed with you. B100 can now be GROWN in a factory... to the tune of 200% of our current demand. hey green heads- you've been having a lot of buzz about building factories that reclaim co2? guess what algae factories do? THEY EAT CO2 AND PRODUCE OXYGEN in its' place. added side benefit? they also produce vegetable oil. the REAL reason byden HATES tesla? they don't pay homage to the oil gods OR to legacy auto- one in the same entity in the end. (big oil & UAW paid for his election campaign- of course) believe me- if tesla did go tits up? you would NEVER see another ev again. legacy would just say "well, no one wanted them, there just wasn't enough demand". in fact- that's what they DID tell us back in the 80's.. despite the fact that the EV1 sold out- OVERNIGHT, 1000 copies. and so? THEY RECALLED IT AND CRUSHED ALL 1000 CARS.

the down side of of h2 FC's is... for the price of ONE FC... you could buy 2 i0 540's and power them with 100% ethanol and be even cleaner than methane produced h2. DUHHH. and at the end of those 540's life span- you'll have saved enough money (h2 is around $6 a gallon if you 'do the math') to fuel 2 more life times of 540 ethanol flights. proving? H2 IS STUPID. also- an FC has about the same lifespan as a lycoming. fairly pathetic considering the FC that can fill the needs of this plane is going to cost a bare minimum of $140k and that's if it were being mass produced. at these numbers- you'd be better off just powering it with a PT6 set up to run off B100 bio-diesel. used vegetable oil can be had by the tractor trailer tanker full for 1 penny per gallon, then refined into B100 at a total cost of around 50 cents a gallon. at that price? WHO CARES! yes- it gives co2 emissions- but those emissions are offset greatly by the fact that the plants that grow that oil eat the co2 the oil produces. h2 from methane just straight up spews co2. forgot about steam refraction huh? just because the emissions aren't output from the plane- doesn't mean they aren't output at all. AND PLEASE- let's NOT pretend ANYONE is EVER going to produce 'green h2'. big oil produces 97% of ALL h2. that's the ONLY reason we're even hearing about 'h2 future' BS. if you thought $6 a gallon was pricey... wait til they actually GET a huge chunk of infrastructure converted to be DEPENDENT on h2 / big oil- we all KNOW what they do once they have an oligopoly set up.

essentially... they could 1/2 the size of the fuel cell stack if they buffered it through a very small lithium pack. the FC only needs to be big enough for the average energy consumption of cruise speed plus a few percent more. beyond that- the lithium pack can handle full power for short, 10 minute bursts. during cruise, the FC stack charges the lithium pack back to 100%.
@jaybee3165

they could save a lot of weight by buffering the fuel cell output through a small lithium pack. you don't need full power for the entire flight- only for takeoff, about 10 minutes. that would mean downsizing of the h2 fuel cell, which is VERY expensive. having the lithium pack also provides more redundancy. if the fuel cells fail- you can glide with power pulled back- then you have 10 minutes of full power from the lithium pack to perform your landing... maybe a downwind turn? whatever is needed.

Ok so the fact that air density does not affect torque of the motor is true. This does in theory offer an advantage for hot and high take off. However there is more than a little BS about all this. For a start the weight of the batteries is an order of magnitude higher than that of the fuel so the advantage is more than offset by the weight. Also, it makes no difference in the cruise where full power is not used. What really limits the altitude of the propeller aircraft is the efficiency of the prop itself, after all, a turbo charged piston unit can maintain its power as it climbs and actually enjoys a slight efficiency gain due to reduction of exhaust back pressure. You can call this the first commercial flight by an e plane but in reality the payload and range of this aircraft is vanishingly small compared to the exact same airframe equipped with quite literally 1930s engine technology. So the comparisons with pioneering flights of yesteryear are really quite bogus. What we are really looking at is this: replace a 1930s engine with the cutting edge of electric propulsion; result: achieve payload and range performance that is pre-war. And pre-war here is literally pre First World War. Bottom line is the amount of energy you can store in a battery per unit weight (as well as volume) is 30 times less than that of the fuel we need to replace. This is a particular problem for aircraft. Even if you make those batteries much cheaper, you don’t solve the weight problem. We need batteries with much better energy density but there is a long way to go. The price of these batteries is dropping steadily but the weight just isn’t. So the comparisons with the old pioneering flights are not justified. Engine technology and aeronautical engineering back then were both in their infancy. But technology here is already quite mature due to electric cars so it isn’t as if the energy density of the batteries is suddenly going to improve by the requisite factor of 10 that would bring them close to avgas and kerosene. Battery performance has improved significantly in the last 20 years which has got us to the point where electric aircraft are just viable for short flights with small loads but there is a gulf to bridge between that and the range and payload capabilities of the current commercial fleet. So I look at some of the electric personal air vehicles being tested and it is pretty amazing. But we are not going to be flying on all electric airliners this side of 2050, unless governments simply ban turbine aircraft and the public are prepared to pay double.

Propeller can be MORE powerful 6 Blade on pusher mount and Composite blades.

@@markplott4820 Nobody builds commercial airplanes with steel bodies, and all the airframe efficiency gains you list are irrelevant as they benefit both propulsion modes. The energy density percentage improvement of the TESLA batteries is in single digits over more than a decade. You have been suckered by their PR into believing they made a 56% improvement in battery performance. What they did was build a cell x% bigger by volume and said it had x% more energy. Which it would, because it is bigger. It is most likely somewhat cheaper for them to make and they get a marginal weight gain from having fewer cells to connect together. Such are the trivial gains that remain to be had with Li.
