GE once thought super-efficient propfans were the future of air travel, until low fuel prices in the late 1980s moved fuel consumption down the list of priorities. Now, it's bringing them back with ...

Aircraft fuel consumption and performance modelling are central to addressing the dual imperatives of economic efficiency and environmental sustainability in modern aviation. This field integrates ...

Leaning the fuel/air mixture in an aircraft engine improves fuel economy and increases flight endurance by optimizing the fuel-to-air ratio. The process involves gradually reducing the mixture until ...

The test is a milestone towards operating flights with 100% sustainable fuel. GE Aerospace is taking another step towards its commitment to sustainable flights, completing testing with sustainable ...

That seems to be the reasoning behind Otto Aviation's Phantom 3500 jet aircraft that dumps the portholes in favor of super-laminar flow to lose weight and burn less fuel. Ask an aerospace engineer ...
