#03 Did you know the weight of current batteries is the biggest barrier to long-haul electric flight?

Check out how below!

For sustainable aviation, there is a massive physical limit: Weight. Current batteries store too little energy for their mass, meaning that to fly long-haul, a battery pack would become too heavy to be practical.

This physical limitation is the critical barrier to sustainable air travel. The industry is at a turning point: How do we unlock the potential of electric flight without the heavy burden?

HyLiST is developing a new generation of solid-state batteries with a target energy density of 450 Wh/kg. What does it mean?

• Smaller, lighter battery packs

• Viability for long-haul electric flight

• A path to truly sustainable air travel

This breakthrough could reshape the future of aviation, moving us past the physical limits of today’s tech and making emission-free global travel a reality.
