First hybrid-electric airliner
I wonder what the battery range would be?
 Should be quieter in-flight. https://finance.yahoo.com/m/bb285f03-dfb8-3ab4-bd11-d9ca1be6c348/airbus-looks-to-soar-above.html

 That looks like a big jet engine. Most of the noise is the compression of the air. Like an electric leaf blower on steroids. And it is still a hybrid so it needs jet power to take off I bet.

A more complicated airliner, no thanks.

They have to do SOMETHING with the A380's
Just think of the energy savings with regenerative braking.
