Air travel is a huge global polluter.
Planes are so flipping big, an Airbus A380 - the biggest passenger plane at the moment - can carry over 800 passengers, holds 310,000 litres of fuel (weighing around 250 tonnes) and burns 200 litres per minute.
To think that could be electrified seems like a pipe dream, and right now it kind of is.
But smaller planes actually can be.
Rex Airlines, the Aussie regional and domestic airline, is going to start retrofitting a number of it's planes with electric motors.
It's possible that in a handful of years, travelling interstate by plane will have less enviro impact than driving within your own city..!
