It's definitely easier to electrify maritime transport.

Long-range aviation might not be electrified at all because it's so hard to get enough energy from batteries without making the plane unable to lift off due to weight, or enough power from fuel cells without taking too much space. Instead we might see hydrogen turbines or synthetic fuel engines.

Either way, maybe we should ask ourselves if a future society should have flight at all? Of course it's cool that humans were able to achieve flight but right now it mostly serves an overheated capitalism and the short-lived pleasure-seeking of (globally speaking) a few fortunate people.

I disagree with the "the technology is already there" statement. Source: I was part of an aviation electrification research project.

Small regional planes are technologically possible, yes, but transatlantic or transpacific flights? We're nowhere close to that.

I'd love to upvote, but come on, that "Master of puppets" devilish Netanyahu just screams "antisemitic clishés". We don't need shit like that to criticize genocide and zionist propaganda.

Where are you, a big city or a small town? In the US or elsewhere?

It may be hit or miss, but depending on where you are, there may be people willing to help without expecting monetary compensation. Charities, e.g. by religious groups, or mutual aid groups (the latter especially in big cities).

I wish you all the best, no person deserves to be abandoned like that.

We're talking about engineers here! We're using MATLAB or Python if we're programming at all.
