I don't see it coming soon. Every single landing will be an overweight landing with electric batteries on board. This is why they talk about way after 2030. Good for some headline but that's it. overweight ? how ? It just depends on how much battery overhead it really needs for TOGA in hybrid scheme

If they do go down this route, I could see that there will be one more next gen iteration of the A321 with new wings and engines and a stretched A322 version of it come out sometime between 2025-2030. It would do the job until Airbus brings out the hybrid replacement of its size category.

That is what they are telling us. Another warm up is coming but we are so future minded.

I think one major difference between a jetfuel-powered aircraft and an electric or hybrid electric one is that the latter would have the same weight at take-off and landing. Existing aircraft have landing weight < MTOW, so that with an electric or hybrid electric engine they would exceed their MLW.

There might be something on the widebody front, re-engined A350neo.

It makes me wonder why they need to do it at this time if no all-new projects are planned for the next 15 years.
