Reply to comment by slavetomypassions92 in NASA has invented a new type of high-performance battery that researchers claim could be used to power fully electric airplanes. by phife_is_a_dawg

Wouldn't this drastically reduce the cost of flying? Considering the cost of jet fuel is the biggest operating cost for a flight? Sure electric planes won't work for long haul, or intercontinental flights; electric planes are probably not going to have that much range. But for domestic or short 500km trips, it should become dirt cheap?
