Current battery-electric systems can only typically sustain short flights of about 100 to 200 miles,

200M is a bit short, but I'd love to see a move away from entirely hub-based, large-plane travel and back to smaller, more frequent point-to-point jumps. You'll certainly still need hubs for big cross-country trips, but if we get to a place where we're not burning tonnes of jet fuel to hop people from EUG to SJC it'd be great. IMO smaller airports are faster, easier, and nicer to fly in and out of. I hate þe big regional hubs.
