I like the headline, specifically aimed at aviation. This might definitely turn some heads. While this is still strong on the marketing with few details, it shows the intent to electrify air travel at some point, which is a good thing IMO. Also might put pressure on SAF, which themselves have a long way to go.

Also, this could be interesting already for existing small and/or short range airplanes like Pipistrel‘s training aircraft or Eviation‘s Alice. I don‘t know the energy density of their current batteries, but this could give them a boost very soon.
