Title: Comparison of existing high density fuel options for aircrafts

Very interesting comparison of existing fuel options (fuel, biofuel, hydrogen, electricity...).

There's a good table here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

Carbohydrates are higher volumetric density than jet fuel or diesel or gasoline, which is interesting.  And they are renewable.

I recall that thermite had good energy density, but I'm not seeing that there.

There are some interesting details here, like recovery efficiency:
