    That will likely never happen in our lifetimes. Burning fuel has the unique advantage of reducing weight the longer you’re in flight. It’s also (kg for kg) offers far greater energy density when compared to battery.

    That said, short flights between Vancouver and Victoria are an ideal use-case for electric aviation. Also means less maintenance on the plane and no lead being showered on us from above from spent Avgas which is something we should all want.
