However, I'm looking at the potential, especially for small manned/unmanned aircraft (or, even with that NASA report where the weight of other items such as cryogenic storage for another low-density fuel drives up your fuel system weight). Examples in the potential GA realm would be the e-Genius (essentially a motorglider--ifb.uni-stuttgart.de/egenius/index.html) or the E-Fan (a more typical aircraft--youtube.com/watch?v=lavvVN7fSEU). | |
