About this document
Jet Fuel vs. Lithium-Ion Energy Density by Archie Joyner is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document compares jet fuel (Jet-A) and lithium-ion batteries as energy sources for aircraft. Jet-A has a higher energy density (42.8 MJ/kg) than lithium-ion batteries (0.954 MJ/kg) but requires less storage space. It also presents calculations to estimate the energy content, storage needs, costs and emissions of jet fuel versus lithium-ion batteries to power a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
