I see such swaps could be useful in next-gen electric aircrafts. It takes quite some time to fill these.

Electric aircraft is a genuinely bad idea. Converting the electricity to fuel and burning it is vastly more efficient than having to lift and land with both sides of the chemical equation.

Probably by ditching the electricity part and just using heat in Fischer-Tropsch. There might be new developments, I don't know.
