No more cars with internal combustion engines, but what about airplanes?

Abstract

Great, Boris! After Brexit, Flamexit! After 2035 exit for cars with internal combustion engines from the roads of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. No more petrol engines, no more diesel engines, not even hybrid drives like in the well-proven Toyota Prius or plugins like in the newest Mercedes. But Boris Johnson himself, as mayor of London, had campaigned mightily for a large hybrid vehicle not so long ago: In 2012, the English-red double-decker city bus with hybrid propulsion system, formed by a German electric motor and an English diesel engine, which the Londoners so affectionately called Borismaster, appeared on the streets of London! Boris first ordered 600 units of it, and then even more. By the end of 2016, there were over 1000 such vehicles. And Boris himself? He drives the newest model of Jaguar XJ, as Prime Minister, not with hybrid drive, but with a very powerful twin-turbo diesel engine.
