Planes are quite sensitive to engine failure during flight. Data centers don’t tend to fly for three hours then sit idle for an hour, then sit idle overnight. They need to be up 24/7. When you’re talking 40 or 50 megawatts, you’re not going to necessarily buy triple or quadruple capacity. So it’d better be reliable without a lot of downtime for checks and maintenance.
