    The issue with batteries for air travel is more about weight. That will require different technology, eg lithium air batteries. This technology is in development but it’ll be a fair few years until they get commercially manufactured.

      @TWeaK, meanwhile the best alternative are airships, no problems using them with electric engines and solar panels.

      I suspect temperature will also be important. Temperatures are very low in high altitude and that affects battery life.
