This was unveiled at the Paris Air Show as "radical and unpractical." Possibly why EADS is giving itself until 2050 to bring it to fruition. Superconductivity seems to be a part of the design - currently only used on Maglev Trains in Japan and Shanghai - some considerable technological advances are required to make such a hybrid mostly electric/minimized fuel engine.
