Battery modules for unmanned and human piloted electric aircraft comprise two planar substrates with electrochemical cells secured between to form load-bearing structural components from which aircraft with greater endurance can be constructed. The cells can be oriented perpendicular or parallel to the substrates, and in the latter case the substrates can include slots that the cells fit into. The cells can be secured to the substrates by adhesives, welding, soldering and the like, as well as by mechanical tensioners. Battery modules can be formed to the shapes of aircraft parts such as wings. Multirotor aircraft are disclosed in which the arms and other parts of the aircraft are constructed from such battery modules.
