> That’s why I approximated the fuselage as two EVS (the frontal area)
Have you ever seen a car and a plane? The Tesla model x has a frontal area of 2.6 sqm and a 737 fuselage alone, without any wings is already 11 sqm.
With all attachments it’s at least 20 sqm.
And half of the energy for altitude gain and half for drag is way too optimistic.

The flight cost more than $5 in energy.
