... 16 Preparing Your Airport for Electric Aircraft and Hydrogen Technologies Successfully implementing electrified aircraft hinges on not only the technical feasibility and production capability of the aircraft in isolation, but also on broader support infrastructure for these aircraft to be implemented at scale. Given transportation's large energy requirements, broadly, growth in the capacity of electricity generation is needed, either on-site or across a national grid.
From page 17...
... What Are Electric Aircraft? 17   Additional battery considerations that affect the performance and operations of electric vehicles include the following: • Specific Power: 1 kW/kg for most applications, although some applications might require 2 to 3 kW/kg.
