How far away are we from just filling the plane with water and a high powered electrical device to derive the H2 out of the water as needed, leaving only the O as a by-product.
This would actually put out any fire after impact.
Or better yet, have the airplane draw moisture out of the sky as needed.
Maybe this is a hundred years away but I can see it now: "Ladies and gentleman, we are running low on fuel, we'll have to fly thru some clouds here to fill up."
Given that we've making technological advances in leaps and bounds (there's more computing power in your playstation than there was in the world thirty years ago) why cant this trend continue forever?

(or at least more than 5 years?)
