So far, we don’t have battery packs that have the energy density, max output, fast charging, and longevity that would allow for anything in passenger flight. It just doesn’t exist. “Replacing batteries every few cycles” sounds horribly expensive. You would also have a range approved based on battery life. You need distance+circling+ going to other airport plus at one go around. It just isn’t going to happen with any battery tech we know of, and it’s unlikely for hydrogen planes with more than about 20 people for about 200 miles
