I bet it isn't long enough to be useful.

I don't think NASA is overly concerned with building things that are useful. They tend to spend tax dollars on ideas that might eventually work.

Nothing wrong with that, in general, but the thing that needs done is battery research. With better batteries, building an electric plane is trivial.

Nah, this is political virtue signaling. People have it in their head that electric everything is better, although I think this façade is cracking a bit. I just saw an article from one of the auto rags (which are apparently all woke and lame now) about how dumb the electric Hummer is.

I guess they can study how to layout the batteries in an airplane carefully. Lord knows they weigh enough.
