I was about to crunch the numbers to check for myself, thanks for doing it, you did a great job.
Amazes me how they made it work considering the amount of arcane shit it takes to make jet engines work. Of course it is possible since electric motors are torque monsters, but it still must've taken insane efforts to make it work.
I wonder if we'll see these flying anytime soon or if they'll get shot down by the fossil fuel i industry just like everything else that is amazing
It will never practically work unless there is some fundamental new technology to store electrical energy, and the periodic table says no.
