    The reason this will not exist is mainly power to weight ration. In the aviation world this means everything. Another problem is the FAA, jet engines have changed little from the beginning of the jet age, the main differences are materials used to construct the engine and also fuel delivery. Other than that the engines have changed little. Another problem is finding a battery or source of power that is able to fly long distances at high speeds with quick turn around. It may take awhile to charge the batteries of a plane flying around the world, where it only takes a hour or hour(s) depending on the aircraft to fuel. I agree with the statement given about high bypass turbofans. There is no practical reason not to use these. The answer may be finding a alternate fuel. Airbus has a concept of hydrogen powered jet.
