You're plane isn't pressurized because it will implode,


Explode, not implode. Unless it is an underwater submersible?

so you're wearing a pressurized body suit. You have
an oxygen mask. You plane is powered by a very
powerful brushless electric motor supplied by a 20lb
carbon nanotube source that is basically limitless.


Your claims are absurd.


Also, current electric planes carry around a 200lb
battery pack. Actually I was thinking of multiple 20lb
batteries in series for a total of around 60lbs using
technology which is described today as viable for
production and can store much more electricity
per weight than lithium ion batteries and store it
longer.
