No. I work on planes. I know all the ways they can fuck up, but I also know all the redundancies.
Also, how fucking long would it take to charge those planes? Major passenger aircraft are almost never shut down. We're talking literally months without turning the power off. We're also talking about 1-4 hours in the air, and about 30-60 minutes groundtime. However, we're talking large aircraft here
Now lets talk about the plane above. It's talking about short flights. The two routes given are about 100-150 miles, with about 30 people. These wouldn't be round-the-clock flights. I'd wager that it'd be once in the morning, and once in the evening, which would be primarily for businessmen and resort-type things. Unfortunately, you'd still have to deal with the TSA, which would make it hard to treat it like a daily shuttle service.
