Although the Air Force had achieved a 12 percent reduction in fuel consumption by March 2012, it must continue to pursue cost-effective options to reduce fuel use even further. The authors considered 16 options for reducing fuel use and determined that 12 of these were cost-effective. However, about half of these have some negative implications. These 16 options, including installing winglets on the Mobility Air Forces fleet, vortex surfing to take advantage of the upwash created during flight, and engine-out taxiing to reduce engine use when the aircraft is on the ground, are examined in detail although only six options are both cost-effective and can be reasonably implemented. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 89-104). 505 0 $a Introduction -- Fuel efficiency in commercial aviation -- Cost-effective options for reducing fuel use -- Cost-ineffective options for reducing fuel use. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Fuel. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Energy consumption. 650 0 $a Jet planes, Military $x Energy consumption $z United States. 650 0 $a Jet planes $x Energy consumption $z United States. 700 1 $a Powers, James D., $e author. 700 1 $a Romano, Daniel M., $e author. 700 1 $a Guo, Christopher, $e author. 700 1 $a Bednarz, Sean, $e author. 700 1 $a O'Connell, Caolionn, $e author. 710 2 $a Project Air Force (U.S.), $e issuing body. 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-757-AF. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106064249.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826111947.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=964046886B5711E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
