Unfortunately the Dreamliner cannot wait for this technology to hit the market.
Yes, not there yet and not before a long time
Super capacitors are perfect for regenerative breaking in the car industry. Very cheap and can give back almost all energy you lost at the stop sign to propel you back to your original speed. It could easily increase your mileage by 25% with no expensive batteries. A small 300$ device would do the trick, no 10,000$ battery. You’d get highway mileage all the time. No more lower city mileage! Well, a little differnce but not the one we know of today.
In 2005 aerospace systems and controls company Diehl Luftfahrt Elektronik GmbH chose supercapacitors to power emergency actuation systems for doors and evacuation slides in airliners, including the new Airbus 380 jumbo jet.[8] In 2005, the ultracapacitor market was between US $272 million and $400 million, depending on the source[citation needed].
