The economic, technical, environmental and safety requirements of battery-powered aircraft are considered, and promising technologies and future prospects for battery …
Batteries could, at least in theory, prove to become the industry panacea that delivers true zero-emissions flight. They already did the trick for cars. In less than two decades, starting from rather lackluster performances, electric cars have managed to outcompete their fossil-fuel-powered equivalents in several markets. But lifting an aircraft off the ground and getting

A battery must also discharge this energy at a rate sufficient to power large electronics, such as an electric aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicle. Put another way: a battery could be described like a bucket. A battery''s energy (or capacity) is how much the bucket can hold, while its power is how fast the bucket can be emptied.
