And it would of been free to the world.

UP TO THIS DAY the tower was never found or talked about.

[@electric7487]

The other thing being totally overlooked is recharge time. You can refuel a aircraft relatively fast, but even a small battery takes hours to charge. That is a lot of time on the tarmac. Even if you did something like a swappable battery bank - charge offline while the other one flies - you increase cost on battery by three; one at takeoff, one at landing, and one in flight.

[@jac1207]

Not to mention you have to now transport all those heavy used batteries back and forth to processing facilities, that's going to put more trips on those trucks hauling the batteries and those trucks will have to recharge their battery packs more often as well. Now we're only talking about 1 truck service to 1 airport, we haven't even factored in literally everything else. So where are we going to get all that electricity? Because it takes A LOT of solar and wind farms to generate what we use TODAY, and even then they're not enough without hydro/nuclear/coal/gas to pick up the slack.

Some rockets with nuclear fission as their source of energy have already been developed since nuclear waste in space is not harmful. But those rockets utilize some other safer energy sources when inside the atmosphere and those fission powered engines are activated only after it is far enough from the earth.

Exactly. If people want to have Renewable and Environmentally-Safe Air travel the solution is Hydrogen. Use solar panels to split sea water into pure Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Excess. Transport the Hydrogen Fuel with electric cars. Use modern-hybrid engine, so that the aircraft will have H2O emission, and a decent range. Sure it is weaker than a standard engine, and less efficient than battery, but the upside is that it works and is appropriate tool for this task. It may not be appropriate for all types of aircraft, like the super-large planes and military applications... but it can certainly replace the majority (80%) of planes out there and make a significant reduction to our emissions and reduce our reliance on a non-renewable fuel source.

I like how people are complaining that we can't make a 100% jump to electric power when the Prius exists. Isn't a lot of the fuel wasted during takeoff? Compared to the rest of the flight, taking off uses the largest amount of fuel per distance traveled. So, if there is some sort of way to hybridize turbo props, you can switch to hybrid power for takeoff. And the propellers can potentially spin an alternator that allows for the hybrid battery to recharge mid-flight. If the system works out, turbo props could be the future.

AND battery replacement is also a big hurdle. As time passes, the range of the plane goes down due to the battery becoming less likely to charge . So takes longer to charge and less range over time. Replacement can be easy, but costly and time consuming for big companies that have to rotate. In addition , each state has thier own laws for battery recycling (if they have any for vehicles specifically).
