• Airlines Positioned for Efficiency Gains

Planes are being built out of the same lightweight materials used for Formula 1 race cars. Their engines are being redesigned to squeeze more thrust out of every gallon of fuel. And governments are developing air-traffic systems that will allow airlines to fly shorter routes. Those and other advances have positioned airlines for the biggest gains in fuel efficiency since the dawn of the jet age in 1958. For airlines, more efficient jets will reduce their biggest expense. For passengers, it means fares won't jump around as much with the price of oil.

When Dave Wagie was flying KC-135 aircraft over the ocean, dodging thunderstorms along the way, he was thinking about alternative fuels before the term had even been popularized. There were lots of times when I was running low on gas that I would have loved to have had a more efficient engine, or know I was going to be able to go a little bit farther with the gas I had on board," said Wagie, a retired brigadier general from the U.S. Air Force.
