The airplane would be a bit heavier at landing, though. I expect that will require a somewhat heavier landing gear.

I also think taking out the weight of the tank is unfair if you don’t add weight for the structures for holding the batteries.

But yes, for many smaller planes, we’re close to flying electric on shorter flights being economically feasible.
