maintain taken causes 3 different approaches hold promise. one is to electrify plains, running them on giant batteries, so they don't directly burn any fuel at all. basically employing the same technology used in most smaller drones. but electric powered aircraft running on today's batteries can't carry much weight fleets. so they're still at best a long term option for shorter hall flights. then there's the idea of powering planes with hydrogen, and the hydrogen has to be cooled and liquified to concentrated. the gas is tricky to handle and airports everywhere would have to alter fueling infrastructure. so dens liquid, synthetic or biofuels made with carbon taken from non fossil sources like plants, or even from atmospheric c o 2. what's key is that they can be transported, stored, pumped, and handled, just like fossil based kerosene. but it will take time to make them available

development. i'm considering that the lifetime of the plane is a lot longer than you conventional call. the wrote, well, next year on the w, made in germany looks at the diversion chinese export to europe are forced to take because of the war in ukraine. ah ah. with
