Duplicate of Electric Airplane - Hybrid / dual type engines how would that work? | |
| Jun 2, 2016 at 10:07 | comment | added | Jan Hudec | I don't agree this is a duplicate. The suggested duplicate is asking how it would be done while this asks why, and whether, it should be done, which is not really discussed on the other question. | |

| Jun 2, 2016 at 2:57 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | Considering that the energy density of hydrocarbon fuels is significantly greater than that of batteries, its a lot "cheaper" to add a little horsepower than it would be to install electric motors, battery banks, and associated controls, especially when most of the time you are just going to be carting around extra weight, and extra fuel to do it, along with reduced payload. Until battery density comes closer to fuel, it simply isn't going to be a good replacement or augmentation vs a little extra fuel consumption. | |
